The Princess Diaries

Academy Award winner Julie Andrews (Mary Poppins - Best Actress - 1964), enchanting newcomer Anne Hathaway, and Hector Elizondo (Pretty Woman) lead a charmed cast in Disney's The Princess Diaries, a hilarious, hip, and heartwarming modern-day Cinderella story.

Mia Thermopolis (Hathaway) is a bright but terribly shy and gawky teenager whose goal in life is to survive each school day with a minimum of attention and embarrassment. Unfortunately, her wish to be invisible is thwarted when her estranged grandmother arrives and delivers the shocking news that she's a real-life princess - heir to the throne of Genovia! Furious and incredulous, the reluctant royal agrees to take "princess lessons" and make the biggest decision of her life - in three weeks. And so begins a comical transformation toward poise and princess-ness when she finds herself in the middle of a media storm, jealous schoolmates, and a takeover plot of her country! Funny, uplifting, and affirming, your entire family will thoroughly enjoy this crown jewel.
