This is by far one of my favorite movies of all time. I remember the first time I saw Anne of Green Gables, and Anne of Avonlea when I was in high school, back in 1990. My mother had rented the VHS for us one weekend, but she unknowingly rented Anne of Avonlea, the sequel, without realizing there was a part one. Well, my sisters and I loved what we watched that day, and so of course we were thrilled when we later found out there was actually a beginning to the story!
Since that time I could not even say how many times I have watched these two in the series, but I know it's more than a hundred at the least (yes, I can recite every single line in both movies) :) Now I still enjoy watching this every year with my 11 yr. old daughter and her friends (and the moms!) when we do our annual AOGG girls fun night at our house. We have everyone bring finger foods for our dinner, and of course we have tea. A great movie for the entire family, and best of all it is CLEAN!!! I have even found my teen boys watching it with us at times. :)
The third installment, which was made over ten years later, is much different that the first two. The whole feeling of the first two is not in the third, and it is also not as clean. There is language, smoking, and "out of wedlock" content that you should be prepared to explain to younger family members. Nothing graphic for the eyes, just that a man that Anne works with has a young baby with his girlfriend. Anne ends up taking care of this young boy after the girlfriend is killed during the war, and there are times when Anne and this man (who is smitten with Anne) get a little too close while Anne is married to Gilbert and he is away at war. It was actually a good opportunity to teach my kids about temptation, and how it could and does affect everyone around you if you choose to give in to it.
Overall, the third movie was ok, it just did not seem to fit with the first two and that's why I did not like it as much. My rating here is for the first two movies Anne of Green Gables, and Anne of Avonlea. Highly recommend!!
Oh and P.S.
Note to Kevin Sullivan ~ I've been seeing a few polls here and there about who would make a good replacement for Anne or Gilbert should someone attempt a remake..... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not even think about trying to re-make this timeless classic. You perfected it the first time around, no need to try and fix what isn't broken. :) Just sayin....

Love all three movies, and very happy with the package deal!
Was afraid that it wouldn't work on my Australian DVD player, because of the region code, but it worked perfectly. Definitely recommend it!

We previously had these on VHS and wanted to get them for the grandkids to watch on DVD. My granddaughter and daughter watched them and loved them. A wonderful story. Must see!

I had always loved Anne of Green Gables, watching it on PBS but having it to watch whenever I wanted to watch it is even better.

We really enjoyed these, the first ones more than 3rd and 4th ones, only because they were not like the original stories, they were changed to adapt to DVD, but still interesting. But where they followed the original story, we really enjoyed!! So did the kids.

This is one of the most wholesome movies of all time. The main character, Anne, is very entertaining, funny, determined, self-sufficient, yet caring and compassionate. As you watch her grow from a young girl to adulthood is a wonderful journey. The supporting characters all play into the storyline with excellence. The ending of the movie series warms your heart and it couldn't have ended any other way. The 5th DVD containing bonus features was also outstanding in sharing background and scenes not included in the North American version.

I have always loved the Anne of Green Gables trilogy, but have never owned all three of the movies. I always felt safe playing these movies when my children were small because they were funny, tender, and family-friendly.Thank you, CBD, for offering this 20th Anniversary Edition.

This is a wonderful series of delightful clean entertainment for any age, and especially young girls who are in their teen years. It actually put me back in my childhood days in the country. Its full of traditional values, caring, romance, friendship, and beautiful scenery. Every single actor in this movie should be commended for making it one of the best programs I have ever seen! Megan Follows, who plays Anne with an E is priceless. You will never be sorry you bought this series!

Anne of Green Gables is more than a classic- book and movie! It is a wonderful story of love, hope, sorrow, and joy. I laugh and cry and so enjoy the movie (and the book). It was my great-grandmother's favorite story as she is orginally from Nova Scotia. The scenery of course is lovely. My whole family can watch the DVD and I don't have to worry about bad langauge or an ungodly influence. Anne of Green Gables is timeless.
