Pros: Megan Follow's brilliant performance, setting, soundtrack, great story Cons: not enough Matthew
When I discovered that I would be working on Halloween this year, I wanted to come up with a bookish costume such as would be suitable for someone working in a bookstore. October 30 arrived and I still hadn’t gotten around to figuring something out, ...
My mother had bought this two video set a couple of years ago, and this past week my daughter and I watched some of it every day as a treat. Anne of Green Gables will take a hold of your heart and not let go until the very end, and even then,...
Pros: Superb casting; pitch-perfect turns by Follows, Dewhurst, Farnsworth; splendid adaptation of the first ‘Anne’ book. Cons: At 195 minutes of running time, it still leaves you wanting more.
‘That’s the one good thing about me--I never do the same wrong thing twice!’ -- young Anne Shirley, eternal optimist Left yet again in another orphanage by her latest, wicked foster parent, thirteen-year-old Anne Shirley is dispatched by ...
Pros: family film, excellent adaptation, great acting Cons: not an "action film" if that is what you are looking for
I am one of the few folks I know who read the book before watching the Kevin Sullivan production of Anne of Green Gables. A relatively picky person when it comes to adaptations, I found myself enchanted by Megan Follows' portrayal of the lively and...
Pros: Lively, imaginative, about enduring friendships and inspiring determination Cons: little focus on the romance aspect
This movie is such a classic, it shocked me when some of my friends had told me they had never seen it. I am an eighties baby so this was such a big part of our childhood. They began this movie first as a tv series on the disney channel, which was just...
Pros: Beautiful story-telling and setting Cons: Plot has been done before
It's been my experience that so few movie versions of books are as good as the original, but _Anne of Green Gables_ is one of them.
Anne is an imaginative red-haired orphan who comes to Prince Edward Island to live with Marilla Cuthbert and her...
Pros: Great Family Movie Cons: It leaves you wanting more
I first seen this movie on the Disney channel many years ago.I LOVED it so I went out and bought the first series of tapes.It comes with 2 tapes and are about 3 hours long.
It starts out when Anne is 12 years old,she is an orphan and living...
Pros: Beautiful family movie that will entertain all! Cons: none
"Anne of Green Gables" by Lucy Maud Montgomery is the story of Anne Shirley, an orphan girl, who is looking for a place in the world. She is quite unhappy, and lives in an imaginary world to make up for her unhappiness. Everyone gets upset with her...
Pros: Forget "made for TV" label; casting, screenplay, cinematography and even music are perfect Cons: 3-hr.length maybe intimidating, but pays off in plot and character development
This U.S.-Canadian television adaptation of "Anne of Green Gables" was an unexpected hit when it premiered on PBS (in the US) and on the CBC (in Canada) in 1985. As I remember, the take on its success in the two countries was quite different. Relatively...
Pros: No sex, language, violence! Gee what an idea! Cons: I wish the story would continue...on and on and on! If Jason can come back from the dead 20 times, we certainly could watch the rest of Anne Shirley's life!
There are many great reviews here on this particular movie. Please read each and every one of them. Great summaries. I would like to share my feelings for the movie, if I may...
Anne of Green Gables/Avonlea is a must see for every young...
Pros: beautiful acting and scenery; faithful adaptation Cons: none…not even that it ends since it has a sequel
The brilliance of Prince Edward Island in Canada is the back drop to this children's literary classic by L.M. Montgomery. Visually stimulating and emotionally moving, this production offers every reader that loved Anne of Green Gables the very...
Pros: Great story and heart catcher Cons: none found, but you do need a long time to watch it
Ever since I can remember I have loved this movie. I watched it as a little girl and still watch it now(when I have the time). My Mother finally bought this movie for me when I was about 10 yrs. old.
Pros: Everything : it captures the essence of the much loved books Cons: I only wish there were more and more and more...
I've been watching episodes of "Anne of Green Gables" since grade-school and I will _never_ get sick of this show. I think the live-action drama series captures the essence of the "Anne" stories PERFECTLY. There is no need for...
Pros: A modern classic Cons: Some may dislike the total deficit of car chases
I was surprised to see so few reviews of the young but classic Canadian productions "Anne of Green Gables" (1985) and the sequel, "Anne of Avonlea" (1987). Don't be fooled by the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew youth genre of the novels from...
Pros: Wholesome entertainment, perfect for all ages Cons: None!!!
This is one of the best children/teen movies out there! When my mother first bought me the books I stored them on a self in my room thinking what kind of junk is she trying to get me to read. Then one day I was watching the Disney Channel and they...
