rating: 4 QuoteGOOD FOR FANSQuote
this is the best in the three part series. it follows the book almost to a "T" and the acting is splendid. if you have children who are yet too young to read, this is a great way to share the ANNE OF GREEN GABLES experience with them. November 2, 2008

I remember PBS running "Anne of Green Gables" during their fundraisers. I fell in love with the story and imagery before I was ready to delve into the book series, and once I was able to do that, I thoroughly enjoyed both. Watching this now brings back wonderful memories of lazy Saturday afternoons spent curled up on the sofa for hours. It is a great family film to be enjoyed by people of all ages. October 19, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteBeyond Delightful, and for everyone. Quote
Two things captivated me in these films. One was the incredible scope of Megan Follows' performance, as she plays Anne through three phases of her life. Simply marvelous. And second, that though the stories will appeal to all audiences, they were mainly about Anne's serious interaction with other women --her step mother, friends in school, women of the town, women at college, women where Anne goes to teach and finally even women in Europe during the war. There are plenty of strong men in the series, and wonderful actors, but these fine interesting relationships make this a top notch film in many respects. The photography was very simply gorgeous. I recommend this as top flight family entertainment, and of interest to people of all ages, really. It's a stunning portrait for a creative and imaginative woman who becomes a writer, and is a person who brings out the best in just about everyone she meets. Positive, deep, beautiful, brilliant. Enjoy with all your heart. October 5, 2008

I first viewed Anne on television and fell in love with Megan. I longed for more of her story. Then I saw the second part and still wanted to see more. I bought the book and enjoyed it, but still, wanted more. At last I've seen all of the DVDs and still wanted more. I purchased Anne of Green Gables from Amazon and now have "the more at my leisure" with my cup of hot tea. Wonderful family viewing!Beautiful, breathtaking scenery. Take this trip with me!

I have loved Anne of Green Gables for years. I did not know until recently that there were 3 of these wonderful little shows. I saw them on PBS and I just had to purchase them so I could watch her all the time! September 29, 2008
