Summary: Great Green Gables DVD!
Review: While reviews of the other version of this DVD were lacking to say the least, I very much enjoyed THIS seemingly superior Import Version of Anne of Green Gables. The quality is good, the colors very bright (if sometimes rather red... or maybe that's just my parents' TV set!) and the extra features are great. I love production shots and behind the scenes features, and while this DVD is lacking in more of the latter, the "lost scenes" and "deleted scenes" are good to see.
One down-er and this is why I didn't give it 5 stars: this is NOT widescreen or letterbox!
It has all the pluses of a DVD: chapter searches, but no scene selection. Digital remaster, but no widescreen.
So, it's an improvement on tapes, but only a little.
Otherwise, it's great and I'd recommend it. Probably at a lesser price, though! =)

Summary: Great movie, but poor quality dvd
Review: I love the Anne of Green Gables movies, but for the PRICE I just paid for this movie, the DVD was not entirely worth it!!!! I have a problem with the sloppy packaging, no inserts, nothing but a 2 sided DVD. And the DVD does not contain CHAPTERS, so you can't just skip to different scenes like you can with most any other DVD. That seems like necessary feature for such a lengthy move, don't you think? Like I said, love the movie, just disappointed in the dvd version.

Summary: A movie for all ages
Review: Anne spelled with an 'E' of Green Gables is a wonderful film. Megan Follows plays an extraordinary Anne, who is lovable, can be a pain and is tremendously funny. I rarely like movies as much as I like the books they are representing, this movie is an exception. I LOVE this movie. My daughters and I have watched this over and over and over. The movie is set in another place and era and often the morals and hardships they endured are overlooked in this day and age. I love Anne's relationship with her bossom buddy or to Anne her 'kindred spirit'- Diana. If you listen carefully you'll learn from Anne. She'll make you laugh and cry. I hope you enjoy it like we do.

Summary: REMARKABLE!
Review: Whether it's the DVD or VHS, Anne of Green Gables is the movie to own! The first time I watched it, I was left with a warm fuzzy feeling in my heart. Megan Follows acts extraordinarily well and is very convincing. You'll never want to leave Green Gables and your TV screen ever again!
The chemistry between Anne and Gilbert seems so real, however whether it turns out well or not is up to you to watch the movie! Since Anne of Green Gables is filmed on location, fans of Montgomery won't be dissapointed as the movie is just like the book with only two or three alterations.
Watching this movie is sure to get you up and racing to find Anne of Green Gables the Sequel and well deserved of its movie awards!

Summary: Bland and boring!
Review: Anne Of Green Gables isn't really a "guy-movie," but I usually don't care about stereo-typed films. In this case, though, it's not really an "anybody-movie." I didn't really enjoy the story of a girl in Canada who moves in to Green Gables and just sort of goes through life.In this film, the acting is strong. The scenery is lush. The plot is relentless. Truly, it is! I mean it's not awful, but the girl just kind of experiences life. If they wanted to make a film like this, more interesting details should have been added to the plot; that, or they could have shortened it up a little. If you're into the books, or just this kind of movie, Anne Of Green Gables should be real treat. Otherwise, skip this one.

Summary: MY FAVORITE MOVIES OF ALL TIME!!
Review: Megan Follows is very convincing and easy to love in this trilogy. I first watched it with my sister last year at the age of fourteen and I've watched it three more times since without breaks. Every time, not only do I shed tears and laugh hysterically, I've also introduced others to the movies who love them just as much as I do! If you aren't a reading person (like me) the movies are a great alternative (I have read the books too, but there's too much babble for me). Although the third movie has nothing to do with the books, it will still leave you with a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. Megan Follows will leave an impression on whoever watches these movies.

Summary: Heartwarming!
Review: I read the first four books in the Lucy Maude Montgomery books about the charming red-haired orphan girl named Anne Shirley and I loved them and I also love this movie, Megan Follows was a teriffic Anne Shirley and Collleen Dewhurst and Richard Farsnworth were teriffic as Marilla and Matthew. It is a heartwarming story and I recommend it highly. I used to have this and Anne of Avonlea on tape but I taped them using our very old top loading VCR (which they no longer make) and they just won't play on any of our new VCRs so I hope to get this DVD.

Summary: Simply Adorable!!!
Review: Ohhhh... if only movies were made like this more often. It's everything a great movie should be! It has great characters, a great story, humour, heartbreak, and a great love story! (Though it is more developed in the sequel) I practically grew up watching this movie, and I have to say that I still love it! Ever few months I grab it and watch it,... and still feel the very emotions that I felt when I first watched it as a girl!! A very touching and moving movie.... but yet not totally unrealistic. If you want to watch a good, CLEAN movie then watch this one! You WON'T be disappointed I promise!!!!

Summary: 15 years later I still love it
Review: Fifteen years ago, a month before my 14th birthday, I got the chicken pox and had to stay home from school for over a week. That's when I first seen Anne of Green Gables. My mom told me about this movie that was on and I insisted I thought it was stupid. Well, I've had to eat my words ever since! She finally got me to watch it and watch it I did!!! Over and over again. I can't tell you how many times I've watched it in the past fifteen years. Anne of Green Gables is the story of Anne (spelled with an E) Shirley, an orphan girl who goes to live with an elderly brother and sister, Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, on Prince Edward Island. She gets there only to find out there's been some mistake and the Cuthberts really wanted a boy, not a girl. Marilla puts Anne through a trial period to see if they'll keep her. Matthew falls in love with Anne on the way home from the train station and wants to keep her. They decide to keep her and the rest of the movie is the story of her growing up with her bosom friend, Diana Barry, and her rival in school, Gilbert Blythe, and life with Matthew and Marilla on PEI. This is a wonderful movie. Megan Follows is absolutely brillant. She is charming and spirited and really brings to life the character of Anne. Richard Farnsworth and Colleen Dewhurst are wonderful as Matthew and Marilla. Mr. Farnsworth really portrays the shy, backwards Matthew to a T. And Ms. Dewhurst does an equally excellent job as Marilla, the stern, but loving disciplinarian. Jonathan Crombie is great as Gilbert Blythe. There seems to be a natural chemistry between him and Megan Follows that lights up the screen. One can almost forget they are acting and actually believe they are Anne and Gilbert. I had recently just bought the DVD and watched it yesterday. I must say that after watching this movie 15 years after I first watched it,that it really stands the test of time. This movie is just as great as it was that first time (after I finally gave in and watched it :) ) This is entertainment for the family or for the romantic heart that wants to watch a feel good story!
This is a movie to be treasured for years.
