This video is the sequel to the beloved children's book and video Anne of Green Gables. It continues the story of Anne Shirley, an imaginative and headstrong young orphan in 1890s Canada, whose hot temper matches her red hair. Anne of Green Gables told of Anne's adoption by an elderly brother and sister, Marilla (Colleen Dewhurst) and Matthew Cuthbert, and her childhood adventures in the idyllic village of Avonlea on Prince Edward Island. Anne of Avonlea takes up the story soon after Matthew's death, when Anne has graduated from college. It follows her struggles and adventures as an aspiring writer and English teacher in a private school on the mainland. Girls seven and older, as well as adults, will enjoy this intelligent and beautifully made film, first shown on PBS. It's filled with themes parents can discuss with their daughters--including self-reliance, generosity, and perseverance. It also gives a realistic portrayal of the situation for women during this historical period, through characters that are multifaceted and human. Anne's struggle to find her voice as a writer, to handle difficult people maturely, to stay optimistic despite setbacks, and to nurture her students are both thought provoking and entertaining. Girls will also enjoy Anne's romantic travails, as she tries to decide between two suitors: her childhood friend Gilbert, and a rich, handsome, and mysterious widower. The film is beautifully filmed, and the costumes and settings portray an idyllic time and place. The cast is excellent. Megan Follows as the spirited Anne and Dewhurst as the gruff but tender Marilla give especially fine performances. --Elisabeth Keating

Reviews:
LOVED IT....
I used to watch this all the time as a little girl with my grandmother. We'd spend all day watching both movies. I am glad that I was able to purchase it on DVD for my daughter and I to share those same memories too!!! Pretty Good
messes the story line up a bit, but keeps the most important elements for the most part. if you've read the books, it might be a little disapointing, but once you get wrapped up in it, you'll get over that disapointment. Anne of Green Gables - The Sequel
This movie is a more than fitting sequel to the original Anne of Green Gables movie. It continues to follow Anne as she matures but still manages to get into some of the same crazy antics she did as a young girl while at the same time teaching timely truths about growning up. I would highly recommend this movie, especially to those who enjoyed Megan Fallows in the first one. Anne of Green Gables, The Sequel
I love Anne. I enjoy the super scenery, the characters, the life , the townspeople. I feel I have the entertainment world right here at home when my time is ready and my cup of hot tea sits beside me. I take my journey. Above and beyond entertainment of today. excellant family viewing. Treat the kids! Treat yourself. Fix the tea! Anne of Green Gables-The Sequel
Anne of Green Gables-The Sequel is a wonderful movie about the continuing struggle of Anne Shirley to fit into the world. It also shows the internal struggle she has with herself and with the people who know her. The story shows how she is unsure of herself and what she should do and is expected to do. It has everything in it: drama, comedy, and ,of course, romance. I strongly recommend this to anyone who dreams.  |
