PiperGilmore05 I have to say that Polly has always been one of my favorite movies. When I was a kid my mom and dad used to sit down with us (my sister and I) and we'd watch the Wonderful World of Disney together. We'd tape the movies, pop some popcorn, and open up a can of Dr. Pepper for a treat that happened every weekend. One day, we saw the preview for the movie Polly, about a girl (Keisha Knight-Pulliam) who goes to live in Harrington, South Carolina with her aunt (Phylicia Rashad) in the middle of the civil rights movement. During her stay in Harrington, Polly (played with grace by Pulliam) discovers friendship, fun, and gladness while breaking down racial barriers within the small town.I first saw Polly at age three and it continues to be one of my favorite films. I have watched it at least once a year for every year I have been alive since then. I will never grow tired of Polly because it teaches everyone such valuable lessons about friendship and love. It has been sixteen years since Polly aired and my sisters and I are still singing (and dancing) her praises. Every time we hear the song "Stand Up," "Sweet Little Angel Eyes," "Rainbow, Color Me," or "Ain't Got Nothing' on You" we have to get up and dance! I swear we must have rewound the scenes where they play these songs about 100 times each just to dance again.I love this movie! The acting in this movie is phenomenal and the dancing is some of the best I have ever seen! Kudos to all of the cast and crew of this movie! It is most definitely a "glad text!" If anyone knows where I can get a DVD of this movie please tell me as our home videos of it are getting grungy from overuse!

Rae0024 I have loved this movie since I was a little girl, and I'm still pretty much a girl at heart even though I'm older now. My mom taped Polly for me when I was really young, and over the course of several moves the tape got displaced. I spent a good deal of money to get another copy, but I have no idea how to get the sequel. (I didn't even know until today that there WAS a sequel!) If anyone has any ideas about how I might acquire it, please let me know. I think Polly was probably my favorite movie of all time. I still go around singing the songs. I still watch the movie. It will always be a classic to me, and I hope someday they put it out on DVD. (If you know any way I can harrass the officials at Disney to do this, let me know that, too!) Anyways, I just had to comment and say I love Polly!

dianahrau I saw both the Polly and Polly C'mon Home movies when I was in junior high and they were just so well done. I liked the original Pollyanna, but Polly was just so spunky and the dancing routines were just so fun! Two thumbs up if you ask me! :)

tms1983 This movie is a made for TV remake of the 1960 Walt Disney movie "Pollyanna" starring Hayley Mills. This movie was wonderfully adapted to the South in the 1950s, in the midst of the Civil Rights Movement, and it's evident here in the movie. Good acting, good sets, pretty good all around. But, as in most cases, remakes can't hold a candle to the original - and this is no exception. A plus for this production, however, is that it has a sequel, and so we know what happens to Polly(anna).****/*****
