I love the film "Pollyanna" and have been waiting for the DVD for what seems like forever. I am very impressed by it! The picture and sound quality are amazing - so much better than the copy I have taped off TV from the late 80s. The film is presented in widescreen but I've realized not a lot goes on on the sides of the picture in this particular movie; in other words, you really don't get much more action with widescreen than you would have with the pan & scan video or a TV-taped version. However, this IS the film as the director intended it, and I think that's great. This DVD (actually two DVDs!) contains so much great stuff, I can't even list it all here. Let's just say amazon.com's list doesn't even get INTO what's on this DVD. There are so many little treasures, and something for everyone - Disney fanatics, Hayley Mills fans, movie freaks, and (naturally!) Pollyanna fans. My favorite features so far are the featurette on Pollyanna advertising, the one about how they restored the picture/film to make the colors how they should have been, and the one about Pollyanna merchandise. Plus, the audio commentary by Hayley Mills and the (now late) David Swift is insightful and interesting. I would also recommend the "Parent Trap" DVD for more of the same fun. The Disney co. really went all out for these DVDs and they are well worth the money. And if you've never seen the movie - it's an adorable family flick that I've loved for nearly 14 years. I hope you like it, too!

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!
