This is my fantasy!
10 July 2004
I can't remember the first time I saw this movie, along with the sequel. It seems always to have a part of my childhood and now my adulthood. I simply adore this movie, it's so wonderful, and surprisingly faithful to the book. I just bought the soundtrack online, and even without the visuals I turn into a blubbering mess. Meghan Follows is, quite honestly, perfect for this role. Even though she's not a natural ginger (*sniff), she captures the spirit of Anne Shirley wonderfully. Collen Dewhurst is terrifying and loving at the same time, and Matthew, oh my god! Just great acting everywhere!

When I was about 5 years old, I wanted so much to live in this film, or at least on P.E.I. at the turn of the century. That fantasy is rekindled everytime I watch it. I was also a huge fan of the the Avonlea show, which used to air on the Disney Channel. I'm still waiting for the whole thing to get released on DVD, so if anyone knows anything about that, PLEASE tell me!! Thanks for reading, bye!
