Editorial Review:
Hayley Mills received a special Academy Award(R) for her performance as Pollyanna in this timeless Walt Disney tapestry of small-town Americana. Here you'll meet Pollyanna, the orphan who brings sunshine into the lives of everyone she meets. But her Aunt Polly (Jane Wyman) is too concerned with appearances, propriety, and local politics to appreciate her effervescent niece. It isn't until the town almost loses their "Glad Girl" that Aunt Polly realizes the power of love and lightheartedness. Featuring an impressive all-star cast and a story filled with fun, laughter, and tears, POLLYANNA will inspire your entire family and prove that the art of positive thinking is just as delightful today as it was at the turn of the century!
Description of Pollyanna (Vault Disney Collection):
Optimism shines in this classic 1960 Disney film starring Hayley Mills. When the newly orphaned Pollyanna comes to live with her wealthy aunt in Harrington Town, life looks promising. Despite her aunt's insistence on propriety and modesty, Pollyanna's cheerful, optimistic ways spread throughout the town--converting even a cantankerous recluse and a whining hypochondriac. Only Aunt Polly has trouble welcoming her young niece into her heart. In a clash between the townspeople and Aunt Polly over local politics, it's Pollyanna's influence that helps individual townspeople find the inner strength to stand up for their own beliefs. When Pollyanna is involved in a serious accident, Aunt Polly finally realizes how much she loves her niece. Can Aunt Polly and the entire town somehow restore Polly's optimism and ensure a full recovery? Pollyanna is wholesome entertainment that will leave the entire family eager to play the "glad game." --Tami Horiuchi

2009-11-04 - THIS IS A GREAT CLASSIC MOVIE I LOVE POLLYANNA . THIS IS A GOOD FAMILY MOVIE. I REALLY DID ENJOY THIS MOVIE. THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANY HAYLEY MILLS OR JANE WYMAN FAN.
disney collection almost complete 
2009-10-28 - Love those childhood movies. I am a Disney Dvd collector...Received this Dvd in a timely fashion and in excellent condition. Very pleased.
Watch this on a rainy day. 
2009-09-29 - I used to watch this movie a lot as a kid and it still puts me in a happy place :o) I sometimes find myself singing "Early One Morning" when I'm bored and have often referred to my now deceased dog that got paralyzed after being hit by a car as "My poor little Pollyanna". Also, nothing gets me in the mood for cake like watching that piece of cake Pollyanna gets at the Carnival. YUM! lol
A classic film that will revive your spirit of optimism! 
2009-06-29 - For many years, had heard and also used the phrase "Pollyanna" to indicate a certain positive disposition towards life situations. After seeing the film and the story behind the scenes as told by Haley Mills and the director this summer (2009), have a whole new appreciation for the term and the Pollyanna point of view that can actually be very healthy and sincerely happy.

The movie was great, and I was there when they were making one of the scenes in the movie. but seeing how the entire movie was made is also part of the pleasure of the viewing. If you have ever wondered "HOW DID THEY DO THAT", view the second part of the movies. It may take away from some of the mystery, but it is also great to know, at least for me.
