YMMV / Summer Magic

• Spiritual Successor:
  • Hayley Mills as a Plucky Girl who moves to a small American town in the early 1900s? Where have we seen this before? Although oddly, the lead role was originally intended for Annette Funicello.
  • Or to Meet Me in St. Louis, oddly enough. The screenplay was by Sally Benson, whose semi-autobiographical novel formed the basis for that film, and both movies are musicals focused on the everyday adventures of a teenage girl and her family at the turn of the 20th century.
