Shirley Temple Early Years Vols. 1 and 2 - In COLOR!

It is a new experience to see some of Temple's early work. Alas, she will always be a bucket of sunshine to me. However, I should give fair warning. Within these files is the worlds worst boxing champion, feared by parents big and small all over, the Diaperweight Champion of the World. Great laughs!

i always enjoyed, and still do enjoy, the Shirley Temple movies. A talented little girl, Shirley always made me smile, after the obligatory teary parts of her movies. This shows the short clips of her earliest work. This is before child labor laws. She steels the scene every time. Though the subject matter of these shorts are very dated, the talent of this little girl comes through. These were very fun to watch. They are a bit strange, so keeping the time in which they were made in mind is required.

I bought this for my Granddaughter, she really enjoys Shirley Temple.This collection is real vintage Shirley Temple . When I was just a child I would watch them with my Mother who also wasa fan of Shirley Temple from movies of her youth. Some of these episodes I have never seen.Though It was not really the most interesting for me as I'd rather be watching the Lone Ranger Or Captain Video, it wasthe early days of TV so there wasn't a lot of choice and it was something that Me and Mom could watch together.I seems to have real appeal the young girls who like my Grandaughter like Shirley and her adventures.

Great collection of fabulous films of Shirley. The package arrived perfectly integral.It's a emotion to have all films of Shirley. The biggest movie star of all time. It 'amazing to see how Shirley to 4 years old already knew acting, dancing, singing ... thanks to mother of Shirley who was able to enroll her Meglin's Dance School of Los Angeles. As my grandmother used to say: it is and will forever be a child prodigy ...Thanks Shirley Jane Temple that fill our homes with your presence and your happiness, without you everything would be empty ...

This 2-disc set is wonderful and "A MUST BUY" for Shirley Temple fans. It shows Miss Temple in nine of her earliest works. Seven of her eight "Baby Burlesk" Series one-reel short films, produced in 1933-1934, are on disc one. Disc two has one complete "Frolics of Youth" Series 2-reel short film: "Merrily Yours". The other film, entitled "Our Girl Shirley" appears to be a (1942?) colorized compilation of two 1934 "Frolics of Youth" films ("Pardon My Pups" & "Managed Money"). Also included on disc two is the documentary entitled "Biggest Little Star".

If you're the type that loves colorised movies then Legend have done an excellent job on these vintage Shirley Temple shorts. The picture clarity is great and the colorisation process makes so much more detail appear. I have watched some of these shorts several times before in black and white and yet while watching them today in color I was noticing little details that I have NEVER noticed before. Highly recommended to all Shirley Temple fans as well as lovers of old films and even Tarzan fans will get a real kick out of her Kid 'n Africa adventure. Hope Legend films continues the great work of converting the old b&w classics into colorful treats for modern viewers.

I so wanted to view thes with my great niece and nephews. I was previewing them to make sure all was in working order. It was not. The volumn 2 was great and played all the way through without any problems;however, the volumn 1 never did start. I cleaned my machine, wiped the disk with a soft cloth reinserted several times and then I held it up to the light and to my astonishment I think there is nothing on the disk at all. no imprinting grooves are there. the price is so low on this one I am tempted to buy another one just to see if I can get volumn 1, but I am afraid that a second one may have the same issues.

This collection might be disturbing for some, but as a Theatre major, I'm able to look at it as a study of popular entertainment and film throughout the ages. Kind of cute and definitely a product of its time!

Even though they say 'Dogs can't read' I hate to burst their bubble but my Tzu picked this out for his Grandma's Christmas Present by stepping on my tablet's screen while I was in the bathroom and before I knew it he'd figured out how to finish the transaction. Doesn't matter though, his grandma loves it and after telling her what happened, she was too busy laughing her butt off to be upset at her 'bumdude' even his aunty Barb found it hilarious and when his papa found out he said 'See! I told you he was smart! He made his grandma a happy camper!'

Thought I was buying movies, not short baby films.
