I suggested that in 2017 the family vacation be to PEI. The setting of “Anne of Green Gables” is Prince Edward Island (PEI), and scenery depicted in the miniseries made me eager to visit the Canadian island in person someday. Returning to “Anne of Green Gables” year after year in my grandmother’s Minnesota living room left me brimming with the warmth of nostalgia and love. An alternative to those television channels was the VHS version of a 1985 miniseries, “Anne of Green Gables,” and its 1987 sequel, “Anne of Avonlea.” I grew to love these videos, and I always opted to watch them over the Weather Channel. Although she had cable and thus access to dozens of channels, she only watched Animal Planet and the Weather Channel because she deemed the others to be potentially sinful. My grandmother had very strict parameters as to what content she would watch on her television. GILBERT BLYTHE, MINNIE MAY, JOSIE PYE, ALICE LAWSON WITH HER CHEERY DIMPLED SMILES, RACHEL LYNDE, MURIEL STACY-THEY AWAIT YOU IN THIS COLORFUL PRESENTATION OF WHIT AND CHARM, TEARS AND JOY, LOVE AND LIFE CALLED "ANNE OF GREEN GABLES".When I was growing up, I would travel to Minnesota each year to visit my maternal grandparents. THOUGH SOME SCENES ARE LIFTED FROM EARLIER MOVIES, THE SCRIPT IS VITAL AND NEVER DULL, ALL PARTS WELL-ACTED.ĭIANA AND ANNE TOGETHER IN THE FIELDS OF GREEN GABLES IS AN ANTHEM TO FRIENDSHIP. THERE IS MUCH HUMAN WARMTH SHOWN, AS WHEN ANNE GOES TO THANK HER ADOPTIVE FATHER MATTHEW FOR THE DRESS WITH PUFFED SLEEVES HE BOUGHT FOR HER TO GO TO THE BALL IN. THE RESULT IS THAT THE LESS LOVABLE ONES TAKE ON A CERTAIN CHARM OF THEIR OWN IN TIME. VIEWERS CAN EVEN BE ENLIGHTENED ABOUT CERTAIN NEGATIVE CHARACTERS THROUGH THE CHARACTER OF ANNE. WATCH THEIR EXPRESSIONS- TRUE SLICE OF LIFE. IMPORTANT IN THE ANNE OF AVONLEA FOLLOWUP FILM).ĪN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS WHEN ANNE'S ADOPTIVE MOTHER MARILLA TELLS HER SHE CAN GO TO THE BALL AFTER SHE HAD FORBID HER TO GO.
