Format:DVD
Remakes are often not as good as the original, this is one of the exceptions to the rule. Where the original Hayley Mills version was a little sickly sweet this newer version is much more real feeling, quaint rather than sickly and ultimately creates a more moving tale.
Amanda Burton was an inspired choice as Aunt Polly; she's brilliant, and it's amazing to see the subtle changes she adds to her character as Pollyanna gradually gets her to break the stiff composure she normally holds.
There are several laugh-out-loud moments. And having a wonderful support cast including Pam Ferris and Kenneth Cranham just adds to the quality overall.
The manner in which Pollyanna has her accident happens in a much more believable and poignant way than the original version. And it ties in neatly with a sub-story between two of the other characters.
The ending is also fitting, with a nice twist.
The costumes, and atmosphere of the production are beautiful, the acting fantastic, the storytelling of the highest order; all transfered to DVD in crystal clear quality, and can be enjoyed by all the family. I challenge you not to shed a tear or two as well!

I caught this movie on TV. I was interested in watching the remake after enjoying the Walt Disney version.
I must say that I found this version a lot more enjoyable to watch. I enjoyed this movie so much that I went on Amazon to buy a copy.
If you are looking for a movie that the whole family can watch look no further.
I am always pleased when I come across a well made production which is also clean and enjoyable.

Pollyanna is a lovely tale about a young girl who is orphaned after both her parents die. She is sent to live with her cold-hearted Aunt Polly(played by Amanda Burton) who is not as pleased to have Pollyanna living with her as Pollyanna would like her to be. She meets people in the village and, with the help of the 'glad-game', she manages to befriend and cheer up a whole community. After tragedy strikes Pollyanna in an accident, her aunt begins to warm to her and finds out exactly how popular Pollyanna has become. There is a beautiful ending to this film and Amanda Burton provides an outstanding performance in this wonderful tale!!

Refreshingly hopeful
Loved this - book adaptations are never pefect but some are better than others and some a lot truer to the actual story - this is one of them. Read more

Nice DVD but not as nice as the book
It is a nice DVD, but as I have read the book in my childhood and later again, I think the DVD should have captured the story in a different way, perhaps in 2 DVDs.
