This Movie Deserves More Than Five Stars...
Personally, I never really got into the LM Montgomery books about Anne. But, I will be the first to say that the Anne Of Green Gables movies are my FAVORITE.
I very highly recommend them.
The story begins in the first movie, with a young orphan girl who is mistakenly adopted by an elderly brother and sister, Mathew and Marilla Cuthbert, who actually wanted a boy to begin with.
Marilla wants her to go. But soft-hearted Mathew has started to like her. So they give her a chance.
So starts Anne's journey to become accepted by her adopters, to make and keep friends and deal with every entertaining incident after another... From taking action over her 'homely' looks, to trying to convince her best friend's mother that she really is good.
Along the way, many other characters are introduced... Diana, Anne's closest friend; Gilbert, a teasing young guy who has taken quite a liking to Anne, and lots more.
The actors preform their parts very well, especially Megan Follows as Anne and Colleen Dewhurst as Marilla.
I hope you get a chance to view this film. While you're at it, why not try watching the sequel and the last of the Anne movies? It's definetly worth it.
Enjoy!

Loved It!
I watched this movie several times and liked it very much, yes it's not as good as the movies starring Megan Follows but they were mini series type movies and were longer and so had more time but I still like the older movie and liked the actress who played Anne though the sequel Anne of Windy Poplars was pretty bad but it was only the plot that was bad in that movie and not the actors. I recommend this movie but not it's sequel. This was recently on TCM and I was going to tape it but forgot to set my VCR timer and I'm happy that this is now on DVD and I would really love to buy it as well as the DVds for the movies starring Megan Follows.

Anne of Green Gables
I loved these books when I was growing up; the Anne series is great. And, even though this movie didn't follow the book, if you think about it just as a movie and not in relation to the book, it's actually very good.

It centers around an orphan named 'Anne Shirley' (I started laughing when I saw the name of the actress that played Anne) and life at her new home, Green Gables.

Favorite part of the movie? Anne's parts with Gilbert Blythe (Tom Brown). Like I said: the movie is WAY different from the book, especially on this account. I, for one, hated the long wait from book one to book three 'til Anne and Gilbert finally ended up together... but, still. It seemed a little odd to have Anne go from hating him to loving him in the space of a few short minutes, but it worked out all right in the end.

Rating: PG. Definitely. There is NOTHING bad in this movie; kids would love it.
