Pollyanna [VHS]

Pollyanna is a Classic
Loved the movie Pollyanna so much from my childhood that I decided to purchase the video. Hayley Mills is so great in this classic and my video arrived in great shape in record time. I'll watch it many times over.

Classic Disney Syrup!
She made our town smile again! This is a little much for jaded 20,30-somethings but it has its place. Jane Wyman seemed a little too real in this movie, It became easy to see why she became Mrs Ex-Ronald Reagan.

What a charming movie!!
I had seen this many years ago on the disney channel and remembered loving it. Just recently I saw Masterpiece Theater's rendition of Pollyanna and was instantly in love. Having watched M.T's rendition, I then wanted to see that old disney classic I remember loving so much. HAving just watched the disney version, I can't make up my mind which I love more, the PBS version or Disney's. They each have their good points. Haylee Mills is MUCH more adorable. I mean, come on, who doesn't adore Haylee Mills. I was rolling during the fire and brimstone speech by the reverand! My goodness, it was a wonder anyone showed up for church with sermons like that! There were a few differences between the movies. PBS's version had Pollyanna get hit by an automobile which then consequently causes Nancy to call off her engagement to the George, while Disney has Pollyanna fall off of the roof, which was much more edge of your seat. It almost happens in slow motion. The PBS version you don't know right away who the old love interest of Polly was. It's a bit of a mystery. I'm assuming that the PBS version goes more by the book, but I'm not sure just yet. I have yet to read it. Also the two endings were different. Disney's Pollyanna she is still paralyzed at the end, while PBS's she's walks down the isle to be the flower girl for Aunt Polly's wedding to Dr. Ch--- (I can't remember his name.) Either way Both versions were wonderful...With the exception of Disney showing the random 12 year old boys bottom in the very first scene. What was that about? No foul language, one use of the Lord's name in vain, with an immediate appology for doing so. Check out both versions!! You just can't go wrong with either one!!!

This Movie Brings Back Such Fond Memories
I remember for Christmas one year My Parents got me the following DISNEY MOVIES.One And Only Genuine Origional Family BandFollow Me Boys!BON VOYAGE!PollyannaAnd I love all of them but my ultimate top favorite was Pollyanna I got the same edition as pictured above the Old white clamshell release with A Little Mickey Mouse at the Top. Well My Favorite Seen was when Pollyanna (Haley Mills) and Jimmy Bean (Kevin "Moochie" Corcoran) went to Mr. Pendergast and Jimmy was trying to climb the tree. My Favorite Actoress in this classic Disney film though was Jane Wyman as Aunt Polly. I also liked Richard Egan as Dr. Chilton. But one of the best roles other than Aunt Polly, and Pollyanna was played by Nancy Olson (SMITH!, Absent Minded Professor, Snowball Express) as Nancy. I still remember sitting by the television set. With the Video case in my hand watching in awe. At this classic Disney Film. This movie has never gone out of circulation with Disney. It is one of the few that hasn't. Those films are what started me collecting Disney. I still have those 4. And I have alot more of the old white clamshell releases of The Old Disney Films. Well Disney did a great thing when they put this classic film on Disney. I know that there has been a debate that They shouldn't have had Haley Mills sing America The Beautiful. But why don't people grow up. She did a great job and she put feeling into it. She wasn't one of those stuped singers that sings it without meaning. She sang it with meaning. This Is A Movie To Remember. If the had a 10 star rating on here. I would give it 10 stars. Other Tha Follow Me Boys! This Is the best Disney Film ever created.

A Story That cherishes your heart
This film, although very different from The book is a must to your Disney films collections. Hayley Mills Recieved an OScar for he role which i must admit was like eating 'Norwegin smoked salmon and Iranian Caviar toppeld with bubbling Champagne'. I think that this film deservs to be cherished over again and again.
