Pollyanna (Vault Disney Collection)

I love this movie for so many reasons, but the most prominent one is Pollyanna's attitude. Her missionary father taught her the "Glad Game" when she mistakenly received a pair of crutches instead of the doll she had hoped for. He told her to look for the good in every situation. After some thinking, she decided she was glad that she did not need to use the crutches. She embraced the concept of the game fully and touched the lives of everyone she came into contact with. Her optimism was contagious and soon the whole community was transformed.

One line I loved in the movie comes when Rev. Ford read the inscription on Pollyanna's necklace, "When you look for the bad in mankind, expecting to find it, you surely will". Though it wasn't an actual quote by Abraham Lincoln as the movie indicated, the words are true nonetheless.

An altogether uplifting family film and a most pleasant experience. No need to worry about foul language or any other offensive material that is so prominent in today's world.

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.

Love those childhood movies. I am a Disney Dvd collector...Received this Dvd in a timely fashion and in excellent condition. Very pleased.

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

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.
