I like this movie because of how it has such a great happy ending. With the way that mean Truant officer wants to take little Shirley away from the people she has loved and known all her life it starts to look sad for her. Then when one of the men finds out she has an Aunt and Uncle still alive and they come and claim her before that mean truant officer can take her away things start looking good. Then when she is sitting in her room at her Aunt and Uncle's house she is just sitting there staring at the wooden doll that Captain Jaunary made for her. Then her Aunt and Uncle realize they need to do something to cheer her up. Then when they take her to a boat they have purchased and start showing her around she says that she likes it but then she is in for the big surprise. When her Aunt and Uncle call out for the Captain of the boat right there is her old friend Captain January and she is so happy to see him again. Then all of her other friends pop out as the crew! Right there is one of the only movies that the ending is so happy that every time I see it or think about it my eyes bust into tears of joy for that little girl.
