A Little Princess Trivias

Several of the songs in the soundtrack, including "Tyger Tyger" and "On Another's Sorrow" used the words from poems of William Blake as lyrics.

The stores on the film's main street are named after various crew members.Some of the extras in the flower lady scene also played parents in the parents day scene.

The characters of Sara's story, Prince Rama, his wife Sita, and the evil Ravana, all come from the ancient/epic Indian poem "Ramayana".The name of the Indian man's monkey is Hanuman, which is the name of the monkey who helped Prince Rama get Sita back from Ravana in The Ramayana.

When Sara and Becky are in the attic pretending to be rich, the candles change length inconsistently between shots.At the beginning of the movie, the pictures in Sara's mother's locket switch sides between shots.

When the girls are trying to steal back Sara's locket a box on the desk opens and closes between shots.When the little girls are running through the forest in 1914 one of them gives the Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan yell.

When Sara's shawl is blown off by the wind, two wires are clearly visible tugging it off.On Sara's first day, when she sees her mother's picture on the wall of the school, a different photograph is used for the close-up.

When Sara enters Lavinia's room to light a fire we hear the door close even though it is still open.Across the foyer from the sitting room, in the school, you can see a music room that has two windows, but from the outside there are no windows. Also, it's impossible for there to be a room to the right of the foyer because on the outside there is not enough room.

When the girl and her father travel from India to the USA, a map is shown describing their route. The year is 1914 but the map is from the 1920s. Before the WWI, Syria and Iraq didn't exist.When Sara is explaining to Lottie about angels, she is demonstrating how the angels ride the clouds like magic carpets and is using her right hand. However, in the next shot, when she tells Lottie that the angels hover over you and see that you are all right, her left arm is raised.

When Sara uses the chalk to draw a circle around herself in the attic room, it is an irregular rectangle-like shape and the candlestick is outside of the circle. When we see Sarah through the window, the circle is a near-perfect shape and it is wide enough that the candlestick fits well within the circle.When Miss Minchin introduces Sara to the rest of the class, she then starts saying, "Now, there are certain rules...", and you can see Monsieur Du-Farge taking a cup and saucer from behind his desk twice (each time at a different angle).

When Sara is scolded for speaking at the breakfast table, the girls are sitting in different positions than they were before Sara came to breakfast.In the scene with the woman selling flowers, the woman is repeatedly heard to be saying "Would you like to buy a flower?" though her lips are not moving.

When Minchin is introducing Sarah to her new classmates, Monsieur Dufarge is seen taking a tea cup out of a drawer in his desk. In the next shot, he is seen removing the same tea cup from the drawer again.When Sara's shawl is blown off, she goes to retrieve it and stops because of the Ram Dass. When Ram Dass walks away, Sara turns in the opposite direction and doesn't pick up the shawl or the basket, but in the next shot, she has both.
