Anne of Green Gables The Collection
This DVD collection consists of all three Anne movies - Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Green Gables -The Sequel and Anne of Green Gables -The Continuing Story. There are audio commentaries on each of the discs as well as additional bonus features such as additional footage, deleted scenes, the missing episode "Marilla Cuthbert's Death", and two new documentaries "L.M. Montgomery Island" and "Kevin Sullivan's Classic", as well as a featurette on WWI , a historical commentary by Kevin Sullivan. Here's a brief review of each of the Anne movies:
Anne of Green Gables
I loved reading the Anne of Green Gables stories when I was a teenager, and then I discovered the DVDs as an adult, and found that Anne's story will always be a treasured classic, one that I can watch over & over again. The story of the orphan Anne who is taken in by two siblings, Matthew & Marilla Cuthbert is so appealing for all the characters are people we can relate to & love. Anne is a fiery, wilful redhead, played excellently by Megan Fellows. She is ambitious, hot-tempered, and yet possesses a vulnerability that makes her so lovable. Richard Farnsworth is amazing as the soft-spoken Matthew Cuthbert who loves Anne unconditionally, and Colleen Dewhurst plays Marilla Cuthbert, an aging spinster, who seems like a curmudgeon, but is really a softie when it comes to Anne...the stories of Anne's adventures will make your heart sing, and yearn for more innocent times, when kids played with a carefree spirit, and no worries...when imagination was put to good use, and the great outdoors were a main source of entertainment.
Anne of Green Gables - The Sequel
Contrary to some reviews, I truly enjoyed this DVD. Megan Fellowes reprises her role as Anne Shirley, who embarks on an adventure when she takes up a teaching position at Kingsport Ladies College, finding challenges & romance along the way...but as always, Anne finds her way back to Avonlea. I won't give too much away here, but suffice to say that this DVD is worth watching[ despite being very loosely adapted from the books] if only because all the characters are played so well by the actors/actresses. Megan Fellowes performance is truly a joy to watch, she is an amazing actress with a great range of emotions, and the story flows smoothly, with humor, heartache, and romance. What more could one ask for?
Anne of Green Gables - The Continuing Story
This was the worst in the Anne series and is only worth watching for Megan Fellowes' performance. As always, she does an amazing job as Anne, and in fact I could never imagine any other actress doing justice to Anne's character! Back to the DVD, I felt that the writers did a poor job of continuing Anne & Gilbert's story...they got them married off in a jiffy [when so many fans were eagerly anticipating a nice, long-drawn fairytale wedding], and then after a brief stint in NY, Gilbert enlists in WW I! So, Anne of course has to go find him when he is reported missing, and the adventures she encounters along the way make up the rest of the story. This sequel is definitely the weakest in the DVD trilogy, but nevertheless a worthwhile watch, if only to see Anne again, and if you yearn for the Anne of before...then I suggest watching the earlier two DVDs which are far superior in production and acting to this one.
CONCLUSION - I'd only recommend purchasing this DVD set if you don't already own the individual DVDs and are keen to view the new documentaries. Actually, it might help to shop around as I've seen this DVD set retailing at much less at other places. Also, there's a new Kevin Sullivan production of Anne titled "Anne of Green Gables - a New Beginning, which purports to trace Anne's life before she came to live with the Cuthberts, but which apparently is not based on the LM Montgomery books. I'm not sure as to when this DVD is being released, but some fans might want to wait till all four Anne movies are released in one complete set.
Description of Anne of Green Gables: The Collection
Canadian novelist Lucy Maud Montgomery has her Anne of Green Gables novel brought to the screen in this three-part production. The first part of the story finds young Anne Shirley settling into her new life after arriving at the farm of her adoptive parents Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert. The second part of the tale finds Anne transforming from a bright young adolescent to a well-established teacher. The third and final part of the story sees Anne moving to New York with her husband Gilbert, and then back to Avonlea, where Gilbert becomes a soldier and goes missing during wartime.Bestsellers in DVD
