Movie synopsis

Shirley Temple stars in this fairy tale about imaginary lands and the true values of kindness and happiness. The journey begins when Mytyl (Temple) captures a unique bird in the royal forest, then refuses to pass it on to her bedridden best friend. That night, Mytyl is visited in a dream by a fairy who sends her and her brother, Tytyl (John Russell), on a quest for the bluebird of happiness. Accompanied by their pet dog and cat, Mytyl and Tytyl set out on an adventure into the past, the future, and the Land of Luxury--only to find the bluebird in a most unexpected place. Much like THE WIZARD OF OZ, which was released the previous year, THE BLUE BIRD begins with a black-and-white prologue, then switches to lavish Technicolor when the children enter fantastic lands, a transformation that highlights the film's dazzlingly magical soul.

More alluring then The Wizard of Oz

Created: 09/07/08
The Blue Bird is a great fantasy movie with Shirley Temple. The movie is fit for the whole family. There are some seens that still, by todays standards may be too intense for children (fire in the forest, grave yard). All in all it is a very delightful movie full of fun, imagination and great special effects for the time it was made. A timeless classic, The Blue Bird will delight the entire family young and old. I thought the movie had more depth to it then The Wizard of Oz. The movie has a brilliant music score by Alfred Newman. It is one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy it!

I was Surprised I didn't care for this movie

Created: 05/08/08
I decided to buy BlueBird, because my daughter has so many other DVDs of Shirley Temple. We have spent many a family nights watching Heide, or another Shirley Temple movie. To me, this movie was not engaging. it was very strange. Almost like it was supposed to be a musical. The writing of it was so choppy. Although I adore Shirley Temple, this movie was a flop to me. Save your money--This one is NOT worth it.

I am a Classic movie fan and I love Shirley temple an Elizabeth Taylor movies. I like them because they are more family oriented movies, well some of them.

Very rare film based on finding happiness, real old movie scale and plot.

As usual, a real treat to see Shirley Temple in action.

This movie is the original "bluebird" movie starring shirley temple. however, in the 1970's-1980's a remake of this movie was done. i have not been able to find the remake! i am desperate to find it! if anyone can possibly track it down, i will pay VERY GOOD MONEY FOR IT!
