Favorite Childhood Musical

I have been waiting for YEARS for them to put this movie on DVD! This is such a feel-good movie that I'm surprised it has taken them this long. Although it is not well known, this African-Americanized version of the story of Pollyanna is one of the most uplifting films Disney has made. It's light-hearted songs and emotional storyline make you feel, when you come out at the other end, that this movie has truly touched you. Plus, who can help but love the songs? From "Stand Up!" (my personal favorite...I still sing it around the house) to "Angel Eyes" to "Shine a Light", the music in this film is unforgettable. Worth getting just to relive the magic and the memories! I'm buying my copy today! July 8, 2008

Great Movie....but Over priced!!

Polly has got to be one of my all time favorite movies. I can recite the movie from beginnning to end just like "The Color Purple" and "Coming to America". BUT...I cannot believe Amazon has this movie on sale for almost $40. I just ordered it for $1.99...yes $1.99 from the DisneyMovieClub. Of course I had to become a member. But for this movie...it was worth it. June 14, 2008

One of the Greatest Black Musicals Ever

I have been waiting literally years for disney to put this title out and I am so happy they did. I remember watching this film Polly, and Polly: Comin' Home when I was a little girl and after watching it as a adult I still love it just as much. I am proud to show this movie to my daughter and other people who just enjoy quality black films. This film has class a class you rarely see these days in black entertainment that's why I love these two movies so much. I recommend these films for all young people. Polly played by Keisha Knight Pulliam, can teach us all a lesson in determination and spirit. The singing is great, the dancing is great. The star studded cast was wonderfully picked and play great characters. This is a timeless classic I hope every child will see and learn from, but beware of price gougers I got this and the sequel from Disney Movie club and they both were half of what Amazon has them for sale. Enjoy the film!!!!! April 8, 2008

Simply wonderful!

If only people today had half the heart and spirit that this little girl had, we'd all be in a much better place. This is a wonderful film that I have loved for years and waited forever to get on DVD. Parents can watch it with their children and grandchildren because it's a great family film that all generations will love. The singing and dancing (thanks to Debbie Allen's awesome choreography) is inspirational and downright fun to watch and sing along to. Thank you Disney for finally putting it on DVD! Folks, be sure to get both Polly and Polly: Comin' Home!! March 17, 2008
