I'm 34 - and a fella - and I love this movie (in fact I love all three screen adaptations of the story as well as the book "A Little Princess" by Frances Hodgson Burnett, and also "The Secret Garden"). I grew up with the '86 version with Amelia Shankley and Maureen Lipman, while the 1995 version is now also one of my all time faves.
TBH, I was obsessed with Princesses when I was little (always thought I was the only little boy who loved Princesses, but have met some other male fans since) - my dad died when I was 6; I have 7 sisters and no brothers and I tended to mix better with girls when I was younger and had a lot of female friends too, so that probably had something to do with it, as I used to borrow their books and films, etc.
Perfection is boring - flaunt the imperfection!
