Outline
This video is the sequel to the beloved children's book and video Anne of Green Gables. It continues the story of Anne Shirley, an imaginative and headstrong young orphan in 1890s Canada, whose hot temper matches her red hair. Anne of Green Gables told of Anne's adoption by an elderly brother and sister, Marilla (Colleen Dewhurst) and Matthew Cuthbert, and her childhood adventures in the idyllic village of Avonlea on Prince Edward Island. Anne of Avonlea takes up the story soon after Matthew's death, when Anne has graduated from college. It follows her struggles and adventures as an aspiring writer and English teacher in a private school on the mainland. Girls seven and older, as well as adults, will enjoy this intelligent and beautifully made film, first shown on PBS. It's filled with themes parents can discuss with their daughters--including self-reliance, generosity, and perseverance. It also gives a realistic portrayal of the situation for women during this historical period, through characters that are multifaceted and human. Anne's struggle to find her voice as a writer, to handle difficult people maturely, to stay optimistic despite setbacks, and to nurture her students are both thought provoking and entertaining. Girls will also enjoy Anne's romantic travails, as she tries to decide between two suitors: her childhood friend Gilbert, and a rich, handsome, and mysterious widower. The film is beautifully filmed, and the costumes and settings portray an idyllic time and place. The cast is excellent. Megan Follows as the spirited Anne and Dewhurst as the gruff but tender Marilla give especially fine performances. --Elisabeth Keating

 | Entertaining Family Film Sep 14, 2007 |
| Great follow up to the first one. Anne gives a great example of not returning evil for evil. There are many good lessons in this story. | | | | GREAT MOVIE Sep 10, 2007 |
| Anne of Green Gables, The Sequel and The Continuing story is a trilogy that all families should have in their DVD library. The music alone brings you into the story of an orphan girl who touches the lives of many and without ever complaining where she has come from, she steams her way forward and accomplishes what she wills. It also has romance as well. It teaches one how not to stay bitter and how love conquers all. Producers and Directors of today should know that it doesn't take sex and foul language to produce such fine material to scope the imagination. :) | | | | a strong and engaging sequel.....

This is the continuing story of Anne of Green Gables (Megan Follows) and proves to be a very strong sequel to the original film. This time, Anne is a little older and has aspirations to become a teacher, as well as a writer. This takes her away from Avonlea, in St. Edwards Island, to teach at an all girls preparatory school. She encounters snobbery as well as a handsome and influential widowed father (Frank Converse) of one of her pupils, and must deal with a very crotchety and almost sinister headmistress (Marilyn Lightstone). A more grown-up Anne must martial her strength, as well as her patience, in some very trying situations. All the while, keeping close to her heart the dear family and friends she left behind.
Megan Follows is radiant, cast as the title character. She skillfully and sensitively portrays a more mature Anne with spunk and grace. The supporting cast is wonderful, here, too, which features the legendary Dame Wendy Hiller as the cold, unfeeling and domineering old grandmother of one of Anne's students. This is a great family that viewers, young and old, can enjoy together. This is truly a wonderful film. | | | | Anne of Green Gables - The Sequel Aug 6, 2007 |
