GOOD FOR FANS
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.

Childhood memories
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.

Beyond Delightful, and for everyone.
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.

Anne of Green Gables
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!

Love Miss Anne (with an 'E')
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!

Outstanding!
As a young girl I loved watching Anne of Green Gables...I remember I could never get enough of the show...I always wished it was on longer/more often, etc. So now, as an adult, I purchased this set and could not be more pleased...It's such a witty, wholesome show and I highly recommend this product for men, women, and children of all ages!

Excellence at its best
I teach children's literature to college undergrads and we read a critical edition of this novel. I show a short clip of this movie in class and tell them all to go buy it--which, for an English instructor, is a serious endorsement. It captures the book so well. Every child should grow up with this. Even the guys in my classes (not that I get too many) like this book and movie. Don't miss it. (But read the book, too!)

Ann of Green Gables
Wonderful story of an imaginative young girl given difficult circumstances to overcome, and succeeds beyond her young, naive belief.

Anne of Green Gables DVD
After seeing part of this DVD on Public Television I was so intrigued I ordered the book and this DVD. This film was beautifully done and the scenery of the area which was the real setting for the story was exceptional. It follows the book very closely. Only a few noticeable editorial changes which did not negatively affect the story.

Canadian Classic, Great Set!
This is a great set with disks that have been *slightly* restored and extra features have been added. I am very glad they are closed captioned.
1. Anne of Green Gables is one of the best novels ever written and the mini-series is presented very well and is accurate to the book. It is an outstanding rendition. The release of this set is nicely timed with the 100th anniversary of the novel.
2. I like the first sequel even though they made changes, mostly because they were faithful to the flavour of the novel and kept most people & characters the same as they were in the books. This movie is semi-loosely based on Anne of the Island and Anne of Windy Poplars. However, I do miss Roy Gardner!
3. I do not care for the 2nd sequel because I feel they went too far from the words that made Montgomery famous. I would have preferred if they had presented Anne's House of Dreams which is one of LMM's best books. Instead they borrowed ideas from Rilla of Ingleside and made Gilbert (and Anne) go off to war. They did not present A & G's wedding well at all and I was disappointed. Jon Crombie's characterization of Gilbert was very altered. In the books Gilbert was always the jokester and "teasy" even when he was older. I didn't know the thin and serious Gilbert presented in this mini-series.
I'd recommend this set because of the great extra features. The 3 mini-series are nicely presented.
