Summary: The Anne Trilogy
Review: I have loved these movies for most of my life! As a young girl not much older than Anne when I saw the fist one, I found her and the relationships between all of the charectors inspiring and lovely to watch. The movie made me read the books, and when the second and third movies came out I was just as pleased with them as I was with the first. The fact that they were able to film it on location made the movies sooo much better! These movies, and books, are testaments to what people can achive with a little imagination and a lot of love. I recomend any of three of them to be watched by people who love good stories! Have fun and enjoy!

Summary: Anne of Green Gables
Review: I must clear up what someone wrote in another review. I do believe this film was shot in Nova Scotia Canada but not Prince Edward Island Nova Scotia as Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island are two seprate Canadian Provinces. I love this movie I could watch it over and over. I think this Canadian classic is a must see for all in and outside Canada.

Summary: A must-see for anyone who is "young at heart"
Review: This movie is wonderful! As a young girl, I would watch it over and over again... If you are someone who appreciates light family comedies with a twist of romance, then you will love this movie. The entire series is a "must see", and it is a wonderful adaptation from the series of "Anne" books, by L.M. Montgomery. This movies breaks down stereotypes of orphans, featuring Anne "with an e" Shirley, from Prince Edward Island, in Canada, and her story as a teenager, dealing with problems that vary from hair color to romance. These are the problems many teens face, but it is interesting and funny to see how Anne deals with them. Enjoy!

Summary: I want to know who choices one through five were!
Review: I remember a few years back, reading in an article about the making of Anne of Green Gables that Megan Follows was originally the casting directors' sixth choice to play Anne. SIXTH?!! I was absolutely flabbergasted. I cannot imagine who one through five could have possibly been. This girl was absolutely perfect in the role. Colleen Dewhurst and Richard Farnsworth are also wonderful as Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, the sister and brother who take her into their home. This movie is wonderful, touching, funny, and entertaining, and can (no, will!) be enjoyed by viewers of all ages (my sister, age 4 when she first saw it, and my grandma, age 75, are living proof!). I also highly recommend "Anne of Avonlea," the sequel to this movie, and the recent "Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story," the final part of the trilogy.

Summary: Makes you want to LIVE on Prince Edward Island!
Review: To start with, the setting of the movie is Prince Edward Island in Nova Scotia, Canada. It is lush, green, and filled with absolutely quaint homes and farms. There are ladies in white gowns and hats and little girls with big satin bows in their hair. Delightful! Megan Follows delivers an excellent performance and is 100% convincing, in the not-so-easy role of Anne Shirley, a bright and quirky little orphan girl. My children and I love this movie and I feel it teaches morals with a lot of humor mixed in. My husband, who normally deplores "old fashioned" movies, will even watch this one with us (while pretending to be busy at his desk though)! For little boys (and girls ;-)) there is enough action to keep them captivated for the entire duration. We watched this one so much that we need to buy a second copy because the first one is worn-out! All of my friends and their children agree that it is one of the finest movies ever made. The costumes, settings, and actors are all top-notch--even the children. It is fun for kids to watch this one because most of the story revolves around children and their antics. Anne of Green Gables is a CLASSIC and you will watch it over and over again and will LOVE it!

Summary: Excellent companion to the book
Review: The Anne stories first caught my eye when The Sequel aired on PBS. When it appeared again, I taped it as well as Green Gables. I thought I'd get better copies by buying all 3 movies (including the Continuing Story) for a complete collection. Anne of Green Gables is definitely a Masterpiece - enough said.

Summary: Poor video and audio quality for a dvd!
Review: I adore the movie, don't get me wrong, but I was fooled like many others into wanting to replace my vhs sets for dvd. I am very disappointed in the grainy images and mediocre sound quality of this dvd. It seems like Sullivan just slapped the movie on a disk, added the interactive menu and a few deleted scenes and began selling it. For this price tag, I would not advise replacing your vhs copies of this movie. If you have never bought the series before, see if you can find a discounted price or buy it used. This dvd is NOT worth full price! The movie itself is 5 stars, but the quality is 2 (and that is being generous!)

Summary: Brilliant
Review: My wife and I have just finished watching the first DVD. Good quality and the commentary was great. Make sure you put aside two lots of 3 hrs to watch this DVD - first 3 hrs you just enjoy the movie and the second 3 hrs have a good listen to the commentary. Can't wait to see the next two movies in the series. The sequel runs for over 230 minutes. The DVD is an NTSC version, but if you live in Austarlia like I do, and have a recent model DVD player, and your TV can switch to NTSC, you'll have no problems watching them. The Anne of Green Gables DVDs are not available in Australia at all. You have to buy from overseas. ...

Summary: Imagination, romance, bosom friends and that Anne girl...
Review: "Anne of Green Gables" is a remarkable series. I have never read the L.M. Montgomery books, but someday I feel I must. Everything about this production is perfect, and I feel as Anne does when she first glimpses the "White Way of Delight." Magical. The cast of this production is noteworthy. Megan Follows is an enduring character, sinking into Anne with ease. She is at time frustratingly stubborn and at other times completely charming. Sassy and full of life and spirit, you cannot help but love Anne Colleen Dewhurst and Richard Farnsworth are equally good as Marilla and Mathew Cuthbert. It is hard to believe that such a tender player as Richard Farnsworth spent over 30 years as a stuntman. The DVD is great, and I have had no complaints. The quality of picture and sound are as good as any of my DVDs. The production is not widescreen, of course, because it is a television series filmed in the television aspect ratio. The extras are all valuable. The extra scenes, and the story behind them, add a new dimension to the story. Megan's audition reel is included, as is feature commentary. I'm glad I grew up watching this series, and I am glad that I own it on DVD, to watch and share anew.

Summary: The best DVD I own
Review: I've been in love with this story ever since it first aired on PBS in the United States. The story is a total escape from the cynical world in which we live to a time and place that should live in the heart of every child young and old. The acting is super. Everyone in the cast did a tremendous job in bringing Lucy Maude Montgomery's book to life.
