Not as good as the book, 2008-12-01
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.

Inspiring Uplifting!, 2008-11-27
Pollyanna (Vault Disney Collection) br /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", 2008-06-21
When Pollyanna, Hayley Mills, is paralyzed, she is faced with the same br /question that she had posed others with her "glad game." Are you going br /my way or am I going yours? Enjoy that Pollyanna moment when a town of br /chandelier shakers such as Karl Malden convert into a town of rainbow br /riders. They welcome her back into again believing in the shared ride.

Wholesome and Sweet, 2008-06-07
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, 2008-05-03
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.
