This gorgeous adaptation of Lucy Maud Montgomery's classic children's story is well worth watching with the whole family. Produced for Canadian television, it's one of those rare productions that actually sticks to the book and even enhances it through first-rate performances and an excellent script. Set on bucolic Prince Edward Island in the late 19th century, Anne of Green Gables is the story of Anne Shirley, an imaginative and headstrong orphan. When brother and sister Marilla and Mathew Cuthbert decide to adopt an orphan boy to help Matthew work the farm, they are astonished when Anne arrives at the train station by mistake. "What use is she to us?" grumbles the gruff Marilla. "We might be of some use to her," answers Matthew, who has taken an instant liking to the talkative Anne. As Anne grows up, her adventures are both hilarious and moving. It's a delight to watch as she forms a friendship with the beautiful Diana and her admirer--the dashing Gilbert Blythe--then dyes her hair green, cracks a slate over Gilbert's head when he calls her "Carrots," and finds a sympathetic teacher who encourages her to attend college.
Richard Farnsworth is perfect as the shy and gentle bachelor Matthew, who confides to Anne that he never went courting because "I would have had to say something." Colleen Dewhurst delivers a nuanced and powerful performance as Marilla, a seemingly cold-hearted spinster whose no-nonsense exterior conceals a warm heart. And as Anne, Megan Follows strikes the perfect note, maturing from freckle-faced orphan to elegant and poised young woman. --Elisabeth Keating

This is a collection of three Anne stories. The trilogy, as a set, has only a Three-Star rating. However, the quality of the three stories varies greatly.
The first, "Anne of Green Gables", was written by the author of the popular series, and is outstanding.
All characters are well acted, especially by Megan Follows as Anne Shirley. Likewise, Colleen Dewhurst and Richard Farnsworth deliver memorable performances as Marilla and Mathew Cuthbert. The show successfully deliveries ... Read More

I ordered this 2-tape VHS set and was so impressed with my overall experience. The package came in a very nice shipping unit, and when I opened the package up, the VHS's were brand new, still in plastic wrap. Very happy with everything!!

This DVD is 2-sided -- that is, you watch Part 1 on the first side and Part 2 on the second side. So you have to be kind of careful with it so as not to scratch it, etc. The picture quality is superb, as is the story, acting, cinematography, etc. It's a must-have for for anyone looking for a wonderful family-friendly story that all ages (say 6 years and up) can enjoy.
