Although both stories are based on excellent works by the original authors, the derivative scripts are terrible, trite, arch, and stupid. The acting is blah, even by the "name actors" including Temple, who is not shown at her best (no singing or dancing for one thing). She is about 10 or 12 in Madeline, probably 15-17 in Princess.
The sets are cartoonish (on purpose in Madeline) and don't even come up to the standards of a mediocre High School production.
Total waste of time. ( )
