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 grew up watching this, plus many other movies in this era. It's a classic! I always want to play the "glad game" after watching this movie.

I was seven the first time I saw this movie...that was 1973. It's still an enjoyable movie with music, story and of course -- Haley Mills. This movie first taught me about prisms, and the joy of climbing trees!

I have always loved this movie. I even named my Boston Terrier Pollyanna because no matter how much mischief she gets into, she's always a happy little pup!!!
