Interesteg What makes it different from others?

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

gcd70 Lucy Maud Montgomery's beloved literary character, "Anne of Green Gables", is once again brought to life through Canada's CBC network. There is a bend in the road in this sequel, as young Anne (grown up all "tall and stylish") moves away to the city in order to assume the position of English professor at an exclusive ladies college. There she makes many new friends, and some enemies, as she adjusts to life far from Prince Edward Island, while an older would be suitor begins to sweep the romantic "Anne-girl" off her feet.The entire original team return to put us in the fun-loving, heart warming mood which made the first film such a pleasure. Alas Kevin Sullivan and his ensemble are unable to reproduce the enchantment of the prior mini-series, if only because of the new setting. "Anne of Green Gables: The Sequel" is sadly ineffective when not in Avonlea. We never see enough of the wonderful people like Marilla, Gilbert Blythe, Rachel Lynd and Diana Barry, all of whom we came to love when first introduced to Anne Shirley.Megan Follows, Colleen Dewhurst and the rest of the support all give fine showings once again, while Hagood Hardy's music makes a welcome return and the rest of the technical crew are impressive too. A shame then that this follow up never stood much of a chance against its predecessor, though most fans of the series will enjoy the continuing saga.Saturday, July 9, 1994 - Video

PeachHamBeach Might be a few spoilers...Although it was based on at least 4 of L.M.Montgomery's novels compiled, ANNE OF AVONLEA aka ANNE OF GREEN GABLES, THE SEQUEL is a very engaging, entertaining story that proved (for me anyway) much more entertaining than having read the 4 books it came from. I'm more of a visual person and some of the "older" novels are hard for me to get into. I'd rather a swift, colorful visual spanning 4 hours than a 4 month attempt to read. Anne is growing up, teaching at the Avonlea school, taking care of Green Gables and Marilla (the beloved Colleen Dewhurst) while mourning that her "bosom friend" Diana is engaged and trying to deny to herself that she loves her "chum" Gilbert Blythe. For the first hour or so, we are treated to the good times of Anne, Diana and Gilbert as Diana prepares to get married. Then Anne's travels take her to New Brunswick, where she is given the position of a English teacher at an all girls school. The first time I watched this, I was disappointed that the story didn't revolve around Anne and Gilbert, but Anne's adventures in the Ladies' College are very entertaining. She makes fast friends with a girl who reminds her of herself as a child and fast enemies with the principal of the school, Miss Katherine with a K. Anne finds herself virtually battling a town full of gossip and feuding and ends up putting together a wonderful Christmas concert to benefit the school.As far as plot goes, this, like the prequel, is the ongoing story of a wonderful young woman who lives in an era of horsedrawn buggies, Gibson-girl hairdoes, and picnics in parks with autumn leaves laying everywhere. There is no solid, formulaic plot, except that this young lady inspires love whereever she goes, even in the most grumpy people, such as Mrs. Harris, Katherine with a K. and the sly, troublesome Pringle girls.Loved it!!!

kromar I don't really understand the unsatisfaction. You had better blame him because of Anne 3. Poor Megan not even looks older than Anne could have been in 1915 and in 1919, but looks older than herSELF, also. She misses proper make-up first of all, proper lights during filming (2 or 3 scenes are only perfect) and last but not least good sentences. (Just see the page of memorable sentences! The first two parts have dozens, it only has three of them!) The story, well, it's even worse. So I must say, wether Anne 2 is true to the novels or not, it is a whole, compact story and is NOT boring, this sequel is only his own interpretation. After all, we've been waiting for the very last scene since Gilbert first called her 'Carrots'! Could you wait months for that moment? So I ask you: isn't that what we wanted?

Monika-5 I have to say that this is one sequel that is just as terrific, if not more so, than the original! Megan Follows, Colleen Dewhurst and Jonathan Crombie are excellent again as Anne, Marilla, and Gilbert. The entire supporting cast is wonderful as well. The story is so romantic, exciting, and absorbing, and the scenery and costumes are breathtaking. There are plenty of laughs in this movie too. Every girl should see the "Anne" movies. I can't wait for the next one!
