Maddyclassicfilms The sequel shows Anne Shirley(Megan Follows) as a young woman who is working at her local school on Prince Edward Island and helping her friend Diana(Schuyler Grant)prepare for her upcoming wedding. Anne is struggling with her feelings for close friend Gilbert Blythe(Jonathan Crombie).Anne meets a wealthy man who is staying at a local summer house called Captain Morgan Harris(Frank Converse)however the two don't really get to know each other until Anne moves to take up teaching at a private Girls School somewhere else in the country and finds that he is the father of one of her students.Anne's friendship with the Captain enables him to change from a slightly reserved and strict man, to one who enjoys life and is a much more open man.This is just as good as Anne of Green Gables and all the cast return.Also featuring Dame Wendy Hiller as Morgan's prickly mother Mrs Harris and Colleen Dewhurst returning as Marilla Cuthbert enchanting and uplifting this is well worth watching.

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

Syl Anne of Avonlea is another wonderful addition. Not much in casting has changed. Megan Follows will forever be recognized and known as the Anne Shirley of my generation and those generations that follows but it's a commanding role that is enduring and wonderful too. Colleen Dewhurst returns to her role as Marilla Cuthbert and Dame Wendy Hiller even has a supporting role. I love Anne and Gilbert's relationship as it evolves from childhood through puberty and adulthood. Anne's coming of age story here is beautifully crafted to display the same brilliance as it was in the original Anne of Green Gables. The cast, the crew, the writers who adapted the novel to the screen, the cinematographer who was faithful to the Canadian history and literary contributions that Lucy Maud Montgomery developed in this novel. The costumes and set direction are faithful to the time period. Watching Anne of Green Gables, you want to visit and perhaps move your family to Prince Edward Island in Canada.

daystarcs Awesome and Inspiring!! A classic!! The fullness of each character is incredible and each actor played the part. The scenes are rich and full. A movie you can watch over and over. Meagan Fellows in each episode from the first to the last; she made Anne come to life and made you come to love the character
