Thanks for the memories!

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I had watched the middle and ending of this film on TV one December; I think it was last year. After watching it I have found this film really beautiful and very sweet. Based on a children's play about a sister and brother Mytyl (Shirley Temple) & Tyltyl, who are visited by a fairy Berylune one night to find "the bluebird of happiness," along with Tylo the bulldog and Tylette the cat and a lantern transformed by Berylune's magic. Throughout the journey, Mytyl's bratty attitude starts to change.I was quite intrigued with the original play/story after watching the version starring Sanrio's "Little Twin Stars" who are a pair of angel-like characters named Lala (sister) and Kiki (brother). Now I'm thinking of reading it; if I could find it. Well overall, I love the whole film and it's lesson about appreciating what you have - an age-old lesson that I don't mind at all. I found this film is a wonderful production. It's too bad it had a disappointing box-office performance.

I first saw this movie when I was a child. It stuck with me so I don't think it was all that bad. Spoiler: I loved the part where the Grandparents come to life when they kids think of them.So it is on TCM today and I turned it and looked up the trivia and came across some of the reviews. My favorite has to be from this person named drystyx. I am fairly sure that this person is writing reviews for their own amusement. If they are not in on the joke themselves then I consider it a total abomination of a review. How you could watch this movie and get outraged by the dog/cat prejudice? The review has nothing at all to do with anything about that movie that is in anyway real or interesting. What Nazi propaganda are you talking about you crazy person? Its a simple story and even though the audiences of its time did not embrace it, its decent and has a good moral. Its really a tale that applies to every era.

"The Blue Bird" is an excellent study in how not to make a children's movie, and stands in stark contrast to "The Wizard of Oz". While many of the elements are the same, the execution is uneven and disengaging. Shirley Temple does a good job, but none of the supporting cast seem up to the task of really selling the fantasy world in which the children find themselves.While I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt for children's films, even my 8-year old daughter pointed out some of the inconsistencies and plot holes, including the fact that while the fantasy of the "Blue Bird" occurs as Shirley sleeps (similar to the "Wizard of Oz"), when she wakes up, her younger brother has also had the same dream and "shared" the experience.

I haven't seen "The Bluebird" since I was about 10 years old or so (back in the late 1960's or early 1970's). It it still sticks with me and I think of it often. It was certainly a memorable film for a little girl. To me, it was a sweet picture of heaven and of home. It also reminded me very much of the close bond I had with my little brother. Every time I see a bluebird, I remember the movie. It made (and still makes) spotting a bluebird a wonderful experience. I hope it will come out on DVD soon so more people can see it and appreciate it. It's similar to the Wizard of Oz. It is a fantasy and a sentimental family film.
