Be warned - COLOURISED!
Oh, why do they do this?!! These five wonderful family films, starring one of the most intelligent, charismatic and genuinely talented child actors of all time, are presented in this beautiful box set at a very reasonable price. There's just one problem. Some genius and genuine lover of film thought it would be a great idea to colourise them. And so we are presented with garish, ugly-looking contortions instead of authentic black-and-white classics. Colourisation of black-and-white movies is an idiotic and justly controversial trend that serves no purpose and has haunted cineastes for more than twenty years - Orson Welles once stated that if he had one say over the future fate of his movies, it would be to keep media moguls (his example specifically being Ted Turner) and their 'goddamn crayons' away from his films. Couldn't agree more, Orson! (My advice is, of course, to stay well away from this boxset - the films are available individually at a somewhat more expensive price, but at least these are in the original black-and-white and true to the director's vision).

Adorable
I love this box set! especially 'poor little rich girl' and 'captain january' which contains amazing dance ruotines. in Stowaway she sing the famous 'you've gotta S-M-I-L-e' all the movies are colorized, i find that a little annoying because the movies were meant to be in black and white. but all in all a great box set every shirley temple fan should have.
