Watch Anne of Green Gables: The Sequel For Free

A lot of fun.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Wonderful sequel to the 1985 original film. In this film, Anne has become a teacher and faces the challenges of classroom life. Gilbert loves her dearly. She wants to be friends with him, but expects more from life. As the film went on, I was thinking that Anne would wind up as another Helen Trent.This very good film really soars when Anne accepts a teaching job at a Womens College. Here we see class distinctions working at their absolute work. The Pringle Family controls the town and are nothing more than egotistical snobs looking to make Anne miserable. For college girls to act like that was unbelievable. I thought I was back in junior high school.Besides Ms. Follows and Jonathan Crombie(as Gilbert), there are excellent performances especially by Ms. Dunsmore as Miss Brooks, who is afraid of life and is apparently stewing in her own misery. She etches an unforgettable character as a tyrant of a principal out to get Anne at any cost. Even when Anne proves herself worthy, Miss Brooks is as keenly jealous as ever. It takes the picture for Anne to win Miss Brooks over. Naturally, Brooks has a breakout scene where she declares her hatred for teaching. Wait a minute. She is out of the classroom as the school principal.The late Dame Wendy Hiller is fabulous here as a tyrannical Mrs. Harris, making life miserable for all around her, especially her long suffering daughter. Anne has that natural talent to win her over.The picture is fabulous because it shows us what basically good people can accomplish.

This is one of those rare sequels that actually surpasses the original. As wonderful as "anne of green gables" was, this production from kevin sullivan, et al, is even sweeter and more expertly done. In combining not just Anne of Avonlea but also the 3rd and 4th books in L. M. Montgomery's series Sullivan has pulled off a masterwork. it is unliklely to me that Megan Follows, Colleen Dewhurst and Jonathan Crombie will ever do finer work, and I mean that as the highest compliment.Not only the performances but the look of this film! Prince Edward island is gorgeous and the producers were smart enough to take full advantage of it and the surrounding provinces. Anne Shirley is a very beloved heroine, I loved her from the first moment Megan Follows embodied her and recited "the lady of shallot" in part 1, its always risk to let heroines grow up, yet here it feels so achingly bittersweet, even at 4 hours you simply wish it would never end. The return of Gilbert and Diana and all of them feels like being reunited with old friends. Never, ever has a deep, true friendship been better portrayed on screen. These Wonderworks presentations are simply beautiful. Perfect entertainment ( and that word does not do these mini-series justice) for the whole family. Highest recommendation.

This movie is superb: funny, romantic, adventurous and beautiful! It doesn't hold true to the books as much as the first movie (not very much, in fact), but it is still very enjoyable and delightful to watch!Anne of Avonlea has a very touching ending as well.

I LOVE this movie. Meagan Follows is again wonderful as Anne Shirley - the red-headed orphan girl taken in by Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert. Pet Peeve: When the sequel originally aired on Canadian television (to my knowledge the first place it aired) it was titled "Anne Of Green Gables:The Sequel". Isn't that the way it should be listed instead of "Anne Of Avonlea"? Yes, it is listed as such in the "also known as" list of titles but it's just not the same thing. Okay, that aside, if you haven't seen this movie and you like classy, smart, beautiful movies - this is the one to watch!
