Always loved this story.

Rating: 5
I believe this is the best of the Pollyanna movies. There is nobody like Hayley Mills. It's a sweet and funny way to return to your childhood. I'm enjoying introducing Pollyanna to my grandchildren and pleased to see that it's not all video games but that the simple things still appeal.

Not as good as the book.

Rating: 4
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.

Pollyanna (Vault Disney Collection)
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".

Rating: 5
When Pollyanna, Hayley Mills, is paralyzed, she is faced with the same
question that she had posed others with her "glad game." Are you going
my way or am I going yours? Enjoy that Pollyanna moment when a town of
chandelier shakers such as Karl Malden convert into a town of rainbow
riders. They welcome her back into again believing in the shared ride.

Wholesome and Sweet.

Rating: 5
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.
