Product Description
A young girl comes to an embittered town and confronts its attitude with her determination to see the best in life. Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 03/18/2003 Starring: Hayley Mills Jane Wyman Run time: 134 minutes Rating: G
Amazon.com
Optimism shines in this classic 1960 Disney film starring Hayley Mills. 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

 Not as good as the book December 1, 2008
My daughter is 9 and loves this story. We read the book before ordering the movie and she couldn't put it down. The movie is very Disneyish with the colorful sets, simple characters and plot modifications to make the story "better". We are always on the lookout for good wholesome movies for our daughter and in that respect, I can recommend this one. But I highly recommend you read the book first. If you like this one, you can read Heidi next.

Pollyanna (Vault Disney Collection)
Set in the Victorian Era. A very poignant story of a young girl who has lost her parents, moved in with her Aunt, has quite a few mishaps, one very serious. But through it all, Pollyanna brings happiness and hope to all she comes in contact with. At the end of the story, everyone gathers 'round her, to bring hope and happiness, to their Pollyanna. Excellent movie. Highly recommended.
Another Take on "Over the Rainbow" June 21, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
When Pollyanna, Hayley Mills, is paralyzed, she is faced with the same
question that she had posed others with her "glad game." Are you going
my way or am I going yours? Enjoy that Pollyanna moment when a town of
chandelier shakers such as Karl Malden convert into a town of rainbow
riders. They welcome her back into again believing in the shared ride.
Wholesome and Sweet June 7, 2008

If you want a completely clean, wholesome family movie, this is it. Pollyanna is the perpetually bright child who brings joy in the miserable lives of the people in her aunt's town. When she faces her own demons, the support of those she helped is overwhelming. It's such a great movie and a classic Hayley Mills.
 Likeable story May 3, 2008
0 out of 3 found this review helpful
The story of Pollyanna is very likeable. It centers around a new girl in town who is very refreshing with her positive outlook on things. The color is vibrant and the characters very funny. Oddly enough, even though she won an academy award, I think the casting of Haley Mills in the title role was a mistake. She doesn't come across as genuinely likeable as the character calls for. And she spends most of the movie with a scrunched up face that's almost a scowl. It contrasts greatly with what the Pollyanna personality calls for. However, it is nonetheless an enjoyable movie. A great family film.
