About this movie

Hayley Mills received a special Academy Award® for her performance as Pollyanna in this timeless Walt Disney tapestry of small-town Americana. Here you'll meet Pollyanna, the orphan who brings sunshine into the lives of everyone she meets. But her Aunt Polly (Jane Wyman) is too concerned with appearances, propriety, and local politics to appreciate her effervescent niece. It isn't until the town almost loses their "Glad Girl" that Aunt Polly realizes the power of love and lightheartedness. A story filled with fun, laughter, and tears, POLLYANNA will inspire your entire family and prove that the art of positive thinking is just as delightful today as it was at the turn of the century!

Ratings and reviews

I saw this on TV at Christmas, and I can't believe I went 30 years of my life, having never seen it! I now play the glad game (although I did so before, it never had a name, and now that it does, it's an addictive game!) Full of problems which are just as relevant today, as they at the turn of the last century. Recommended from one depression sufferer to others :) let Pollyanna help you find the light at the end of the tunnel! :D

I just watched it at school yesterday and I loved this film! The best bit was when her friends came to visit Pollyanna while she was recovering and her Aunt Polly gave her a kiss!

A really heart warming film, I now try to be glad about something everyday
