Product Information

Birthday Episode: In “I Want Two Birthdays”, the Princess has a birthday and wishes it could be her birthday every day. She gets her wish, but comes to regret it when the adults run out of good presents to give her. I don’t feel I’m in my 80s. All my limbs work, I’ve never broken a bone. But my future is not as big and sprawling and adventurous as it was when I was 20. That’s what I dislike most about my age. Ross, Anthony Lee, (Tony), (born 10 Aug. 1938), author and illustrator". WHO'S WHO & WHO WAS WHO. 2007. doi: 10.1093/ww/9780199540884.013.U33199. ISBN 978-0-19-954088-4 . Retrieved 23 June 2021.

Also discussed in “I Want My Mum”, in which the Princess mistakes a teddy bear (not Gilbert) under her bed for a monster. I was excited by the war because I didn’t realise what it meant. I was too young. To me, Hitler was just a funny chap with floppy hair and a funny moustache. I could draw him easily and I used to like drawing him because it would make people laugh. He was just a character – a figure of fun. In “I Want a Bedtime Story!”, everyone tells the Princess a story, but she just responds, “That’s not as good as Daddy’s story!”. In “I Want My Dinner!”, everyone says, “Say please”, and when the Princess gets what she wants, she says, “Lovely”.Real After All: In "I Want My Light On", the adults insist that ghosts don't exist, but at the end, two ghosts are seen at the top of the castle. From the first episode to the most recent, the series has been produced completely in the UK using the talented animation industry available to us. Tempting Fate: In “I Want My Dummy!”, the Princess says she’ll never lose her dummy (pacifier) again, only for the Queen to take it again.

Big "NO!": In “I Didn’t Do It!”, the Princess yells, “NOOOOO!” when the Admiral asks if she sunk all his (toy) ships. Everyone Has Standards: In “I Want My Dummy!”, the Admiral and General may be grown men who play with toys, but even they think it’s weird to still use a dummy (pacifier) at age four. So does the Prime Minister, even though he’s an old man who still rides a tricycle. Later on in the story the little princess goes to school, whereby she realises that wining isn’t so easy anymore. She tries her hardest to win one of the four big trophies in her school cabinet, but unfortunately despite her efforts she’s not successful. Nevertheless what the little princes didn’t realise is that there were actually five trophies, and the last one was actually for her. The little princes won a trophy, fairly for her effort. New Baby Episode: In "I Want a Sister", the Princess learns that the Queen is pregnant. She wants a sister, because she thinks brothers are smelly, but when she gets a brother, she thinks he's a cute baby. Monstrous Germs: “I Don’t Want to Wash My Hands” has illustrations of germs with faces and features like horns, bat wings, and devils’ tails.The only child of the King and Queen, the cheeky princess has her castle and its grounds at her disposal, meaning she is free to roam and play safely unaccompanied by adults. Little Princess is made by the team at The Illuminated Film Company. Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: In "I Want My Dinner!", the Princess brazenly tells a large monster off for not saying, "please" or "thank you". Happy Dance: In “I Want a Bunny!”, the Princess dances with joy upon learning that she can have the bunny she wants. Living Toys: Though not normally alive, Gilbert is shown as alive in “I Want My Light On!”, and in “I Want My Potty”, another teddy bear moves on its own. In “I Want to Do it by Myself!”, the Princess never finds out that the adults brought her the stuff she forgot.

Nasal Trauma: In “I Don’t Want to Go to the Hospital!”, the Princess is hospitalised for a painful lump in her nose. Friendship Denial: In “I Want a Friend!”, the group of outcast kids complain about having no friends… but all the while, they’re happily socialising with one another. Does Not Like Spam: Subverted in “I Want My Mum”. The Princess claims to hate eggs, but she changes her mind when the Queen calls it a “dinosaur egg”. Right for the Wrong Reasons: In “I Want to Do it by Myself!”, the Princess is correct that she’s being forgetful. However, she thinks that she’s forgotten that she brought her things camping, when actually she forgot to bring them and other people brought them for her.

True to the spirit of Tony Ross’s original picture books, the positive message delivered with each story is wrapped up with humour and surprise. Potty Emergency: In “I Want My Potty!”, the Princess is seen running frantically to her potty and she’s described as being “a long way away from her potty when she needed it most”, then later, she starts calling out for her potty, only to wet herself when they find it. This book is about a little girl, who is referred to as a little princess. Which I assume because she is so spoilt. The little girl wants to win everything, she wants to win so bad that she either chats her way to winning or people just let her win. I really enjoyed reading this book as a young girl, because the main character reminded me allot of myself at that age. The funniest part in the story is on sports day when the little princess partakes in a race. But because she starts to lose the race, she calls out to the other competitors saying that there going the wrong way. I would hate to be remembered as a total shit. I’d like people to say, “Oh, it’s a pity he’s gone. He was fantastic.”
