This only score this high with me because the little girl is cute. My biggest problem is that in this version Mary cries all the time. Starting with when they throw her doll to the fire because of germs. Anyone similar with the story know that a big part of the Mary character is that she is a strange and unresponsive little girl and doesn't cry at all. At least not until the very end if at all. As an avid reader and fan of the story I find this most troubling. There have been many good versions of this movie made.If you want a great version try the 1993 one. It's my personal favorite out of the many I have seen. My only problem with the 1993 version is the change in how Mary's parents passed away, but as they are such a small part of the story it is not too serious of an infraction in my opinion.
