"Curly Top" (1935): This film contained one of Temple's biggest hits, "Animal Crackers in My Soup," in which she serenades her orphanage at mealtime, "I walk around like Noah's Ark/ I stuff my tummy like a goop." The New York Times said of "Curly Top": "So shameless is (the film) in its optimism, so grimly determined to be cheerful, that it ought to cause an epidemic of axe murders and grandmother beatings." But Temple, the review noted, was irresistible, playing dramatic scenes "with the precision of a veteran actress." Though a child, Temple was often the best actor in her films.
《卷毛头》(1935)这部电影里邓波儿演唱了她最热门的歌曲《我汤里动物饼干》。吃饭时她用歌声唱出自己的孤单:“我像诺亚方舟一样四处游荡/像粗人一样用食物填满肚子”。《纽约时报》评价《卷毛头》道:“这影片中的乐观是多么让人心惭,这样冷酷的内容用以鼓舞人心,这应会让‘斧子谋杀’和‘殴打祖母’成为流行。”而邓波儿,评论人极为认可,因她用“专业演员的水准”表现出引人入胜的场景。我们可以看出,虽然仍是一个孩子,邓波儿就已经是她电影中的最佳演员。
