Anne of Green Gables - The Sequel (1987)

ANNE SERIES

I'VE OWNED THE ANNE SERIES ON TAPE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND WANTED TO HAVE A MORE LASTING COPY (CD).
WONDERFUL STORY FOR OLD AND YOUNG. July 19, 2008

A family adventure

The Sequel to Anne of Green Gables is a Wonderful Addition to the Story.
It keeps you on your toes about what Anne will do next. In this story Anne is growing up and is faced with more challenges. Her best friend is getting Married, She gets offered a great job as a teacher at a strict boarding school, and her relationship with Gilbert gets interesting and has you hanging there at the end. This story is one your family will love. If you loved Anne of Green Gables you will adore the sequel. June 14, 2008

Anne of Green Gables - The Sequel

An outstanding movie. The entire series--Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Green Gables - The Sequel, and Anne of Green Gables - The Continuing Story--is excellent. The acting is superb, the scenery is picturesque, and the story line captures your attention June 7, 2008

A great sequel

If you liked the first Anne, this sequel will be sure to please. With elements straight from the book series, it continues on with the imperfect yet ever charming Anne as she continues developing into a woman. As before, we find Anne ambitiously pursuing education, but harboring a secret wish to be a great writer. However with her best friend Diana getting married and the people around her growing up and moving on, Anne has to decide what she wants in life (Gilbert?) or whats in her heart.

With a fitting conclusion to satisfy all viewers, this series is a great way for anyone to spend a Sunday afternoon at home with family. The only thing better would be the books!

P.S. While I highly recommend the first two installments in this series, I caution against the third, 'The Continuing Story.' It was a great disappointment... mainly because there is no trace of the original books in this film whatsoever, with the Anne we know and love re-written into a gloomy, plodding melodrama of WW1. I actually yelled at the screen and fought the desire to take the disk out of the player and stomp on it. My advice, stick with the ending from the sequel.

Good Adaptation

Adapting a book can be hard to do well - staying true to the characters people already love is, to me, the most important thing. This film, while it combines plots from 3 books, does a good job of keeping most of the best moments, combining minor characters in a believable way and staying true to the characters LM Montgomery created. It works well, and will be enjoyed by fans of the books and fans of the Sullivan's "Anne of Green Gables" alike. (As oppsed to "The Continuing Story" - if you like these movies, trust me, stop with this one!!) January 25, 2008
