Of the 49 movies Julie Andrews has made, I've seen 25.
I've just seen "The Singing princess" on DVD. I ordered it from Amazon on Friday. It arrived on Saturday, and I saw it Saturday night.
She was 16? when she recorded the three songs she sings. You could not have told she was that young. I don't know if she had found her ideal vocal coach yet, but does it matter?
The plot: 13-year-old Princess Zeila of Baghdad is of age to be married. her uncle has arranged for three princes from nearby kingdoms to vie for her hand. Unfortunately, evil Jafar has a magician who flies around turning the messenger to stone so the three princes won't be invited. Jafar wants Leila (and the kingdom) to himself. Bummer!
Amin, a pre-teen whose father is a minstrel, vows to thwart Jafar. Amin has cute, charming snakes and a magpie who flies through a window to remove an enchanted gem that was supposed to make Leila fall in love with Jafar.
Amin ultimately goes into the woods to see a wise elderly woman who has Aladdin's lamp.
When in doubt, reach for a Deus ex Machina.
It all ends well. Leila and Amin marry. Amin will become Caliph in time. I guess Baghdad isn't ready for a ruling Queen Leila.

Fascinating 
Yes, amazing how mature talented singers like Julie can sound at a young age.

She had a mature voice in an eight-year-old body.
