In my opinion this box set is a must see for any little girl and her mother as it truly is a very delightful story. It is based on the books by Lucy Maud Montgomery. It is about an orphan, Anne who goes to live in Green Gables, Avonlea, on Prince Edward island with an old lady and her brother. Anne is played terrificly well by the Canadian actress Megan Follows and has the well renound actress Colleen Dewhurst as Marilla Cutherbert. The films basically follow Anne as she grows up and all the trials and tribulations of being an orphan, having to act politely in grown up situations and the fact that she does not like her red hair! As the story progresses and it moves on in time it also follows the love story between her and Gilbert Blythe. It is set in a truly wonderful time, of innocence and will really make you teary eyed in places. The scenery is breathtaking and Prince Edward Island is somewhere I have always wanted to visit after watching these DVD's over and over again. The costumes are also amazing, especially Anne's puffed sleeve ball dress that Matthew buys for her (a touching moment in the DVD's) A DVD that you will watch over and over again and will make you fall in love with Anne. This box set includes 3 discs. Anne of Green Gables the beginning, Anne of Green Gables the sequel and Anne of Green Gables the continuing story. The DVD box set was released in January 2006, I had been waiting for it to come out for years as I still had it in the Cassette format. In HMV they have it on sale for £49.99.

Sadly very little of the film was actually filmed on Prince Edward Island...(but it's still a beautiful place to visit!)

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD features. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
