Anne of Green Gables DVD set : customer’s review

Purchased AoGG DVD set

I just purchased the AoGG DVD set (AoGG + Anne of Avonlea) for my daughter… and for myself!! I myself am a big fan of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s books. I have every single book from the Anne series, from AoGG to Rilla of Ingleside. I have read the books … gosh several decades ago. I remember when I first discovered the book, going to the library and devouring those books days and night. When I first saw the movie… well I simply fell in love with everything. Kevin Sullivan did such a good job for the first 2 movies (AoGG and Anne of Avonlea). The cast was amazing and wonderfully played their character. My favorite character has to be Anne Shirley (played by Megan Follow) for sure! The settings and the costumes were in the movies were also wonderful. Although the DVDs do not exactly followed the story from the books (it’s a compilation of the book), I think they really preserved the essence of the story and recreate the magic and the dreamy flavor of the book.

Why should you pick the AoGG DVD set? First because of the quality of the image. Forget your old VHS version, these DVD are of an incredible quality and the pictures from PEI are just amazing. Second, for the behind-the-scenes, the cast and crew interviews and all the comments. I rate both the first and second movie 5 stars, although I do not care too much for the last one. But for the price you pay through this website, the nice box and the additional comments and interviews, I find worth buying the whole collector’s package. And also, I like the idea of owning the full trilogy. Highly recommended to anyone who liked AoGG and highly recommended for anyone who never saw AoGG!

Anne of Green Gables is a remarkable movie (series). Although I never read the books from Lucy Maud Montgomery, I watched the series with my fiancee, whom I got this collector’s series for. This is not my typical type of movie, but I really enjoyed it. The cast chosen to play in this series is noteworthy. And it is hard to believe, after watching the first movie, that Richard Farnsworth (Matthew Cuthbert) was actually a stuntman for 30 years! I got this collector’s dvd set because it came with the extras, which I found very valuable (my fiancee was just crazy over those extras!) as they added another dimension to the tale. I’m happy I got to watch this series and a tip for all guys, I can certify that you will become the luckiest man in the world if you get your gf/fiancee/wife this as a b-day present or Christmas present.

Anne of Green Gables is definitely one of my favorite movie. It stars Megan Follows as Anne Shirley. Megan Follows and all the cast do a wonderful job. The storyline is wonderful (although it does not always follow the storyline from our beloved books from Lucy Maud Montgomery). I decided to buy the Collection, because of the discount you get through this website, it comes up cheaper than buying each DVD individually. The comments and extras are a wonderful addition to this already so great 5 stars movie! Love it!

Clo Stewart 03 October 2009
I have always been a fan of Lucy Maud Montgomery books as well as the Kevin Sullivan movies. Whether it was Anne of Green Gables, its sequel or Road to Avonlea, I have always been pleased with what Kevin Sullivan has achieved. However, this last movie of the trilogy is not at all what I expected. I am somewhat disappointed. While the movie is okay, somewhat decent, I did not think it was very representative of any of the books nor did it pictured Anne Shirley as how she should be. Kevin Sullivan took too much liberty with the storyline and I would definitely not call it a “continuing story”. This movie is not recommended for people who have read the book and have high expectations of the movie.
Judy Sigurdson 19 August 2009
My husband and myself have watched the movie on TV, when it first aired. Our opinions were mixed. Because I am a fervent fan of Anne of Green Gables and have read every single book, my expectations were totally different, and I was shocked at the dissemblance between the movie and any of the book. However, my husband, who hasn’t read any of the book did find the movie quite interesting and decent. Sadly, a movie that I recommend for non Anne Shirley fans, and to complete your trilogy!
Minty 2 May 2009
This movie was okay. Not a 5 stars, but not as bad as everyone depicts it to be. It sure does not follow the books, but the storyline is fine. A movie I recommend for entertainment, but don’t expect to recognize any parts from the books, there are none.

Synopsis:

This is the second item of the AoGG TV film series. This sequel is just as enchanting as the first Anne of Green Gables and tells the continuing story of our favorite red hair girl, Anne Shirley. This movie makes the transition between her romantic, impulsive teenage years to a very outspoken and talented young girls school teacher. Megan Follows returns to her role as Anne Shirley and again, do an outstanding job. The movie also features the  Oscar®-winning British Actress Dame Wendy Hiller who appears as the feisty dowager Mrs. Harris. A magical and emotional conclusion, full of humor and charm to the epic story of the impetuous red-head.

Walter 10 October 2009
Both Anne of Green Gables and the Sequel are a favorite in family. My wife, my 2 daughters and even my son have enjoy watching the first movie and its sequel. This movie is greatly entertaining and contains no offensive language or violent action, a proof that a movie can be good without the violence. A movie I highly recommend to everybody, young like old.
Selima 19 September 2009

If you loved the first movie, Anne of Green Gables, this AoGG dvd sequel will no disappoint you! I am a fan of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s books, including all of the Anne of Green Gables series. My favorite part of the movie is watching Anne falling in love will Gilbert and struggles to admit to herself that she does love him. My DVD was ordered through Anne-of-Green-Gables-DVD.com, which seems to be an affiliate to amazon.com, and both the shipping and the handling were done in an amazing way.

Bonnie 14 July 2009Great quality, fast shipping and amazing presents! I replaced my old fading VCR tapes (yes I still have ‘em!) with those DVDs and I just love the DVDs (Anne of Green Gables dvd and the Sequel). I particularly enjoyed the special features, that obviously did not come with the one I recorded from television several years ago. Thumbs up!
