Mytyl and her brother Tyltyl, a woodchopper’s children, are led by the Fairy Berylune on a magical trip through the past, present, and future to locate the Blue Bird of Happiness.
Shirley Temple’s last lavishly-produced starring vehicle at 20th Century-Fox didn’t come close to equaling the success (financial or otherwise) of 1939′s “The Wizard Of Oz” from MGM (who had tried, unsuccessfully, to star Temple as Dorothy). This curious enterprise, based on the play, would seem to have a great deal in common with “Oz” (it even begins in black-and-white and turns to color), but the crucial elements of an identifiable plot are missing, and the young girl at the center of this story is consistently petulant. It was a fundamental error to make Shirley Temple unsympathetic; as the scowling, complaining daughter of a poor woodcutter, she wakes one night to an elderly fairy-woman knocking on her door and soon finds herself and her little brother on a search to find the Blue Bird of Happiness. The production is quite grand, but the saturated colors don’t gleam and the set-designs are vast without having a sense of wonderment. As for Temple, she’s a little bit stiff and self-conscious (odd for her), though her mature sarcasm in the prologue is very funny.
