Product Description
A young girl comes to an embittered town and confronts its attitude with her determination to see the best in life. Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 03/18/2003 Starring: Hayley Mills Jane Wyman Run time: 134 minutes Rating: G
Amazon.com
Optimism shines in this classic 1960 Disney film starring Hayley Mills. When the newly orphaned Pollyanna comes to live with her wealthy aunt in Harrington Town, life looks promising. Despite her aunt's insistence on propriety and modesty, Pollyanna's cheerful, optimistic ways spread throughout the town--converting even a cantankerous recluse and a whining hypochondriac. Only Aunt Polly has trouble welcoming her young niece into her heart. In a clash between the townspeople and Aunt Polly over local politics, it's Pollyanna's influence that helps individual townspeople find the inner strength to stand up for their own beliefs. When Pollyanna is involved in a serious accident, Aunt Polly finally realizes how much she loves her niece. Can Aunt Polly and the entire town somehow restore Polly's optimism and ensure a full recovery? Pollyanna is wholesome entertainment that will leave the entire family eager to play the "glad game." --Tami Horiuchi

 A Good Reminder that Attitude is Everything November 10, 2009

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.

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
A classic film that will revive your spirit of optimism! June 29, 2009

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.
