anne of green cables love it 
2008-06-02
I truly love this set. I had seen parts of it on our PBS station but this is so complete. I love older movies and series. I had an Anne of Green Gables day and loved it What a great story.

A guy's review of Anne of Green Gables 2008-05-15
Let me preface this review. I'm a typical guy. I like movies about fighter jets, fast cars and ninjas that blow things up with their minds.
I also love Anne of Green Gables.
I grew up with this series when I was kid with my sister. Reading about Anne and her adventures lifted our hearts, and we used to spend hours reading stacks of the books. There are almost too many funny, moving, touching and tragic moments to count, but the one thing this story captures so well is the power of the human spirit. Anne changes everyone around her for better with her imagination, positive nature, and strength of spirit. She's not without flaws though, her independent streak nearly costs her her happiness on a few occasions, but she always finds a way to come through in the end. Also great is the supporting cast. Who else wouldn't want Matthew and Marilla as neighbors? Or Dianne or Gilbert as a friends or a girlfriend/boyfriend?
Looking back now, it reminds me of a simpler, purer time far removed from the grim and griminess of the cold, impersonal, so called, 'civilized' life now a days. My fondness for this series, the books, the made for TV films, and even the superb anime by Isao Takahata and Yoshifumi Kondo (who did the heart wrenching Grave of the Fireflies) hasn't diminished as the years have gone by. If you've never seen any of these before, you're cheating yourself out of a great experience. Read the books, watch the films, track down those anime episodes and get ready to be surprised with joy.
Sure, as a guy I can appreciate the carnage of a monster truck rally... but I get just as spell bound as Anne does picturing the White Way of Delight.
DVDs in perfect condition... what a story 2008-05-07
I had only ever seen Anne of Green Gables. My whole life I have missed out. The second and third DVDs are even greater than the first! Which I would have never thought possible. Sweet, funny, and then actually very adventurous by the end.
A classic on DVD 2008-05-02
A great movie collection, the DVDs look great on our flat screen. One of the few movies that does it's books any justice. Great acting, great directing. The last movie is a little weird and doesn't seem like the same "Anne of Green Gables" Trilogy feeling to it.
Poor Quality Video/Great Movies 
2008-07-23
First of all, the actual movies and the actors are great. The series is very entertaining and tells a good story. It is suitable for the whole family.
Now for the bad news, Sullivan Home Entertainment should be absolutely ashamed to sell such poor quality DVDs. I could have done better myself by copying video tapes and burning them to DVD. The video is very grainy like they made no attempt at all to remaster it. At times the audio does not match the video. Also, there is only a rudimentary menu system. You cannot jump to a particular scene like you can with almost all other DVDs on the market. In addition, the set I received had two of the three disks bad.
The price of $59.99 is extremely high for what you get. Given the quality and other problems, it should be in the $5 bin at wal-mart!
My advice is to rent the videos if you can and save a ton of money by not buying this junk.
Review of Anne of Green Gables DVD series 2008-07-22
I love these movies! Almost every time I watch them they make me cry.
Carrots! 2008-06-26
They called her "Carrots" because of her red hair that she hated. How funny! This story is so sweet, how remarkable that this actress can play a very young girl and grow within the movie to be an adult. The things she gets herself into are just hilarious like when Ann's friend, Diana gets drunk at their 'formal' tea party. The old manners and traditions in this are a hoot! I couldn't wait for Ann and Gilbert to get together. This is a set for the whole family. Nothing even PG about it in my opinion, just wholesome entertainment. I've only seen the first 2 sets, not the continuing story.
Family movie 2008-06-13
This has been a family favorite for many years! My children (6 & 8) both enjoy watching the trials and tribulations that Anne inspires in these movies. Great sentiments and excellent values instilled. A must with younger children - but I enjoyed these movies when I was a teen as well!
wonderful 2008-06-08
this was bought as a gift for my neice. I have loved this set before and wanted her to enjoy it too. She has not seen it but when she does I hope she will love it as much as I do.
