This gorgeous adaptation of Lucy Maud Montgomery's classic children's story is well worth watching with the whole family. Produced for Canadian television, it's one of those rare productions that actually sticks to the book and even enhances it through first-rate performances and an excellent script. Set on bucolic Prince Edward Island in the late 19th century, Anne of Green Gables is the story of Anne Shirley, an imaginative and headstrong orphan. When brother and sister Marilla and Mathew Cuthbert decide to adopt an orphan boy to help Matthew work the farm, they are astonished when Anne arrives at the train station by mistake. "What use is she to us?" grumbles the gruff Marilla. "We might be of some use to her," answers Matthew, who has taken an instant liking to the talkative Anne. As Anne grows up, her adventures are both hilarious and moving. It's a delight to watch as she forms a friendship with the beautiful Diana and her admirer--the dashing Gilbert Blythe--then dyes her hair green, cracks a slate over Gilbert's head when he calls her "Carrots," and finds a sympathetic teacher who encourages her to attend college.

Anne of Green Gables

This is a classic and should be in everyone's film library. It is about love, fears, growing up, family and community. Megan Follows presents a character true to the original novel.

long but good

this movie is very long but it is very good and heart wrenching for the family. it is funny and sad all in one. it is a movie to own!!!

This is one the top ten movies of all time.

This movie is about a girl getting used to her new parents, after being at the orphanage. The setting is Prince Edward Island, which looks great. She makes a good friend at a party, and things progress from there. She ends up being dear friends with many people there, and goes through many things in here life. I've heard it is better than the books by L.M. Montgomery.
It has two sequels.
Twice revised.
