Pollyanna (Vault Disney Collection) | Year: 1960 Classification: Feature Film Family Directed: - David Swift (II) Actors/Actresses: - Jane Wyman - Hayley Mills Quintessential Disney -- Excellent DVD presentation "Pollyanna" is one of Walt Disney's finest live-action films, and this "Vault Disney" release is superlative. Most fans would have been pleased with the THX restoration and wide-screen presentation alone, yet Disney includes countless extras presented in a unique, user-friendly format. The extras are entertaining and informative. Congratulations to everyone at Buena Vista Home Video involved in this outstanding release that showcases the Disney Company at its best. My family and I hope these four "Vault Disney" releases ( including Swiss Family Robinson, Old Yeller, and The Parent Trap) are just the beginning of an ongoing series and that Disney continues to release ALL of its films in their original theatrical ratios. The Glad Movie My mom picked up this movie at our library because we didn't have anything to watch and it looked interesting. Well, it was more than interesting, it was fantastic! Hayley Mills was awesome as Pollyanna, and Jane Wyman, Nancy Olsen, and Richard Egan were all very well cast and played their parts beautifully. It was in this movie, incidentally that Hayley Mills made her debut into Disney movies, and she went on to make other wonderful movies for Disney, the most memorable one, "The Parent Trap" (See my review for that movie also!) The DVD has literally millions of extras, including a documentary, commentary with Hayley Mills and director David Swift, and sound tracks of Hayley singing the 'The Glad Song,' which unfortunately is not in the movie. You will not be disappointed if you see this fantastic movie. It's a timeless classic that will never grow old. Oldy But Goody I grew up watching Pollyanna, so I decided that I HAD to have it for my collection. I just re-watched it yesterday and remembered why it was one of my favorites. Pollyanna's parents die and she must go live with her rich aunt Polly. Pollyanna is so optimistic, but everyone in Harrington Town is so pessimistic and it's all because of strict aunt Polly. Pollyanna tries to turn the town around by teaching them the glad game - basically the idea of being optimistic. It's a cute story and teaches a good lesson. My only complaint - for a Disney movie it is LONG! 2 hours and 15 minutes. Buy Pollyanna at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.com Jamster - the latest ringtones for your phone!
