Princess Sarah (Fictionalized Filipino TV series)

Princess Sarah is a 2007 Philippine television series based on the 1985 Japanese anime series of the same title, produced by Nippon Animation and based on Frances Hodgson Burnett's 1905 novel A Little Princess. It is topbilled by Sharlene San Pedro as Sarah Crewe. The series was aired on ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida evening block and worldwide on The Filipino Channel from November 12, 2007 to December 21, 2007, replacing Kokey.

The series was shot in 1890s Delhi in India and London in England, UK. Unlike the 1995 Filipino film and the 1985 Japanese anime series it was based from, which in turn was based on Burnett's original novel, the teleserye adaptation took even more creative liberties from the original story being introduced in the story.
