Our Little Girl is a 1935 Drama directed by John S. Robertson, starring Shirley Temple and Joel McCrea. Molly Middleton (Temple), daughter of Dr. Donald Middleton (Joel McCrea) and his neglected wife Elsa (Rosemary Ames), who becomes attracted to Don's best friend Rolfe Brent (Lyle Talbot).

Coming immediately after Bright Eyes and The Little Colonel and before Curly Top and The Littlest Rebel, all major hits for Temple that shot her to international stardom, Our Little Girl is largely overshadowed. Unlike her other films in this period, there was no dancing and only one song. Also unlike the rest of her films, she played a character that was neither partially or completely orphaned. In fact, this movie would be the next to last film by Temple during her time at Fox in which she was not playing a partial or full orphan (the last being The Blue Bird). Her next 13 movies would feature her in these orphaned roles. The film was the final directorial effort of veteran John S. Robertson.

Synopsis

Don Middleton (Joel McCrea) is so caught up with his work he neglects his wife Elsa (Rosemary Ames). Lonely Elsa begins to spend more time with Don's best friend and they become attracted to one another. Don and Elsa decide to get a divorce, unaware of the effect their problems are having on their daughter Molly (Shirley Temple). When Elsa announces plans to remarry, Molly runs away from home.

Set in Germany sometime in the late 18th century where Mytyl (Shirley Temple), the bratty daughter of a woodcutter (Russell Hicks), finds a unique bird in the Royal Forest and selfishly refuses to give it to her sick friend. Mother and Father are mortified at Mytyl's behavior. That evening, Father is called on to report for duty the next morning in an unspecified war. That same night, Mytyl is visited in a dream by a fairy named Berylune (Jessie Ralph) who sends her and her brother Tyltyl (Johnny Russell) to search for the Blue Bird of Happiness. To accompany them, the fairy magically transforms their dog Tylo (Eddie Collins), cat Tylette (Gale Sondergaard), and lantern ("Light") into human form. The children have a number of adventures, visiting the past and their dead grandparents who come to life because they are being remembered, a scary adventure in the forest, the life of luxury, and the future, a land of yet-to-be born children. The dream journey makes Mytyl awake as a kinder and gentler girl who has learned to appreciate all the comforts and joys of her home and family. In the morning, the Father receives word that a truce has been called and he does not have to go to war.
