Sixty Glorious Years is an exercise in the creation of iconography, both for Victoria and its star, Anna Neagle (who subsequently became known as 'Regal Neagle'). Just as Elizabeth I commissioned artists to create flattering iconic images for public consumption, so this film performs a similar function, for Neagle is more beautiful than the real life Victoria. Controversial events (such as the 'Irish problem') are omitted and unpleasant aspects of Victoria's character (her petulance, arrogance, favouritism and 'right to privilege') are glossed over as endearing little 'whims'. Albert acts as a moderating influence when she goes too far.
The film followed a year after the highly successful Victoria the Great (d. Herbert Wilcox, 1937). Again the screenplay is by Miles Malleson and Robert Vansittart, and many of the supporting cast (the cream of acting talent of period) repeat their roles, this time for the colour cameras. This was the first full length Technicolor film of cinematographer Freddie Young, who captures the spectacle of royal weddings, grand balls and opulent interiors, with scenes actually filmed at royal palaces. Vivid battle scenes, set in Alexander Korda's empire territory (Sevastopol and the Sudan), rival those in The Four Feathers (d. Zoltan Korda 1939).
The title music sets the tone: a regal choir sings over a shot of the crown. Elgar's 1901 'Pomp and Circumstance' march is heard during the diamond jubilee celebrations and, as Victoria's coffin lies in state, the film concludes with Anthony Collins' stately music accompanied by the text of Rudyard Kipling's 'Lest we forget'. Combined with the emotional appeal of scenes of Victoria connecting with her 'ordinary folk', this is stirring stuff.
The film connects with contemporary events of 1938. The release of two celebratory royal films was intended to boost public affection for the monarchy in the wake of Edward VIII's abdication. Anglo-German relations were another touchy subject. With another war on the horizon, influential voices wanted appeasement, and the film could be seen to fit that agenda. Victoria herself was of mainly German descent, nicknamed 'the grandmother of Europe', while Albert is a 'good German', charmingly played by Anton Walbrook as a cultured, decent man.
Sixty Glorious Years now seems unduly formal and reverential. Had movies existed during Victoria's reign (they only emerged at the end) this might have been the kind of film produced. Unlike Mrs Brown (d. John Madden, 1997), it is all so very 'Victorian'.

童话大王，郑渊洁，皮皮鲁与鲁西西，真的是童年的回忆了。包括这本书我都还在呢。 拍的还是不错的，服化道和每个小演员的演技都很在线。小演员和罐头小人都很可爱？如果大人们的演技能再自然些就更好了。
没有写好友情。
虽然很多特效有点出戏，但是角色和演员都很符合剧本。部分情节略生硬，但剧本完成度出人意料的高
鲁西西小演员演的不错
没看过原著，也不喜欢童话，如果单纯给这个电影打分的话，及格了吧
支持童年的童话，看过书的具体内容都已经忘了，只能说结尾还是天真吧。彩蛋很有趣，哈哈。
选择真人演绎，而不是动画片，牺牲了诸多想象力却聚焦了一个小故事。希望能成为系列剧。不过和舒克贝塔或其他动物角色联动的时候，效果如何呢？拭目以待。
波崽倾情安利 原著教育佳作 就是电影拍得真不咋地
回顾下童年，感觉后面还是拍的平了点，不过本来也是个童话故事，小演员都挺可爱的，鲁西西哭戏吊打好多流量演员
希望你永远不要成为你小时候讨厌的大人
三星不能再多。电影定位有问题，影片故事是85年，童话大王伴随长大的应该也是这个时期的孩子，这些孩子已经是大人了，如我这般看这个电影感觉好幼稚；如果受众是现在的孩子，孩子们估计很难产生共情
怎么说呢，只能说，至少比《李雷和韩梅梅》要好，但也仅限于此了，皮皮鲁的戏份太少了。鲁西西是不是加钱了？
现在的中国电影市场，似乎已经忘记了该怎么拍摄儿童电影，本片算是一部不够成熟但是值得鼓励的尝试吧。
句末彩蛋提到了一个关键词魔方大厦，大概暗示下一部是魔方大厦？
福尔摩斯是一只杰克罗素梗吧？？ 学校那股恶心劲儿也表现的不错
这女班主任以人与猴来比喻优等生和差生，这是歧视啊。
一直以来非常期待陪伴我年少时成长的郑渊洁童话系列改编成影视剧，因为非常喜欢故事里的反叛精神，甚至一度不觉得这些故事仅仅应当被限制在儿童文学当中。但是这部电影整体看下来并没有锚定目标受众，反派符号化经不起成年观众审视；作弊、道德绑架又引发儿童教育当中的隐患。至于特效，作为影视从业者其实知道该做的部分已经做了，但可能因为某一部分人审美的问题，合成头发泛蓝、阴影太脏，以及一些个三维cg部分就是基本材质，是真的把敷衍写在脸上。实话说，我不明白为什么一部少名演员的电影不能在后期部分多花点预算。
致我们荒芜的教育体制和魔幻现实 从未改变（歌唱家明显发育的有点成熟啊 所以罐头国的男女组合是按照啥方式来的 这资源有点……）皮皮鲁鲁西西和告状“王”都挺让人讨厌的
皮皮鲁鲁西西这套小学四年级时候看的不能自拔
教育法律医学，三大信息不对等造成的垄断，本剧里的教育演绎占在模板顶峰哇。
