When the newly orphaned Pollyanna comes to live with her wealthy aunt in Harrington Town, life looks promising. Despite her aunt's insistence on propriety and modesty, Pollyanna's cheerful, optimistic ways spread throughout the town--converting even a cantankerous recluse and a whining hypochondriac. Only Aunt Polly has trouble welcoming her young niece into her heart. In a clash between the townspeople and Aunt Polly over local politics, it's Pollyanna's influence that helps individual townspeople find the inner strength to stand up for their own beliefs. When Pollyanna is involved in a serious accident, Aunt Polly finally realizes how much she loves her niece. Can Aunt Polly and the entire town somehow restore Polly's optimism and ensure a full recovery? Pollyanna is wholesome entertainment that will leave the entire family eager to play the "glad game." --Tami Horiuchi Product Description POLLYANNA Customer Reviews: Showing reviews 1-5 of 76 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...16Next » Great fo families   August 30, 2010 Happy mama of 6 My 7 and 6 year old girls and my 5 year old boy love this movie. It is set in a time when things were innocent for children. Hayley Mills is wonderful as pollyanna. She is full of joy and creative thought and very mature for her age. I can't think of the boy's name but he has been in many movies such as Old Yeller and Swiss Family Robinson. Pollyanna brings love to her stuck up proud money flaunting aunt and the whole town falls in love with pollyanna. I don't mind my kids watching this because it has great values and morals and lessons to be learned by all ages. Definatly suggest getting for movie night. Timeless, a true classic   August 27, 2010 Jem (MD, USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I loved this film as a child, and I suddenly felt like seeing it again so I ordered this Vault Disney edition. The movie has withstood the test of time very well, and retains the charm and magic I recall from the first time. Though it could easily have been too sugary to be realistic, the actors and director kept it on track. Haley Mills embodies Pollyanna so completely it's hard to believe she's acting at all! And the superb cast including Jane Wyman, Karl Malden and Agnes Moorhead make you long for the days when studios were able to create films with many "stars" instead of just one headliner. This two-disc DVD is also a great value. The film looks crisp and beautiful despite its age, and the extras are fantastic. There are two 30+ minute featurettes, "Pollyanna - Making of a Masterpiece" and "Re-Creating Pollyanna's America," that go behind the scenes of filming and include interviews with Roy Disney, the director, Haley Mills, Kevin Corcoran and film historians. They also include clips of Walt Disney talking about the film. Both are excellent mini-documentaries and worth watching. Also included is the original theatrical short, "Nifty Nineties." Overall, a wonderful movie in a great DVD edition that I highly recommend! I think I need to go order "Swiss Family Robinson." par for the course   August 18, 2010 HM (Lexington) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful This film has several strikes; Film based on a book Disney and Mills ( often seen as super sweet) Unusual title Dated material It manages to overcome them reasonable well. I heard the insult "youre are real pollyanna" frequently growing up and didn't understand it. I found the book and learned. The cliche "find something to be glad about" seems tailor made for wincing. Both the author and Disney filled the book/movie with every child story stereotype, it should not have worked. It does. Somehow. Naturally, I like the book much better, the main problem with adapting the book to a movie is the absence of a villian. ( Aunt Polly is not one.) If you truly want a sacchrine, annoying girl child star try to read Elsie Dinsmore. Pollyanna   July 11, 2010 Mary Kathleen It was wonderful! Better than I remembered when I saw it as a child. Well worth purchasing! I'm still a little girl at heart!   May 23, 2010 Donna Kusterer 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I'm 50 years old and grew up watching Haley Mills in many of Walt Disney movies and love them all, but my favorites are Pollyanna and The Parent Trap. They bring back happy, relaxing thoughts of my childhood and I can watch them over and over without getting tired of them. Any mother with little girls, or boys like I had, will love these old movies as well. I had a collection of most all of Haley Mills movies in VHS and am now starting over my collection with DVD's! You'll love Pollyanna - I promise! Showing reviews 1-5 of 76 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...16Next »
