.It costs a lot of money for us to make a good DVD or Blu-ray edition. We know our discs are not inexpensive, but we feel they are of good value. If you can buy a Sullivan Entertainment product at a price you think is absurdly low, it’s probably not a legitimate one. Good things to look for are our copyright and whether the specs for the DVD or Blu-ray’s audio, video, and features match those that appear on our website’s page for the film. Although these steps cannot definitively determine a disc’s authenticity, you can feel more secure if this information is consistent.
Anne administers corporal punishment to one of her students in one scene, but she clearly has no taste for it, and it's very upsetting to her. A few tumbles/tense scenes and exchanges, and one character who's prone to fainting cuts herself mildly during a fall. Some dust-ups between children, though nothing serious. A key character gets very ill at one point, which could scare some kids. During part of the movie, people are cruel to Anne for petty reasons, but she rises above it. A minor character dies. Parents need to know that this sequel to the excellent is less faithful to L.M.
Montgomery's original books than the first movie but captures their spirit well enough to entertain loyal fans. Anne, as always, is an imaginative, enthusiastic, hardworking role model for girls; her impulsiveness sometimes leads to confrontations and mistakes, but she learns from her errors and always means well. There's more romance in this movie than in the first one, including a few embraces, but nothing at all iffy.

Expect a few tense scenes and exchanges (including one featuring corporal punishment) and one character's serious illness, but no real violence. Based on L.M. Montgomery's novels Anne of Avonlea, Anne of the Island, and Anne of Windy Poplars, ANNE OF GREEN GABLES: THE SEQUEL picks up the impulsive red-head's adventures a little bit after where left off. Now a teacher herself, Anne is also an aspiring writer, penning romantic short stories and dreaming grand dreams.
But after her best friend, Diana Barry (Schuyler Grant) gets married and her friendship with Gilbert Blythe (Jonathan Crombie) takes an unwelcome - to Anne, anyway - turn toward sentimentality, Anne leaves Avonlea to take a position at Kingsport Ladies College. There she encounters hostility from the unwelcoming Pringle clan, cold stand-offishness from Principal Katherine Brooke (Rosemary Dunsmore), and romantic interest from dashing, wealthy Morgan Harris (Frank Converse). In her own inimitable style, Anne faces all of her new challenges with good humor and grace. But is she living the life she really wants?
Despite the fact that this sequel strays much further from Montgomery's source material than its predecessor did, the movie has earned legions of loyal fans for good reason. Follows again portrays Anne with spirit and charm; whether she's in the depths of despair or the heights of joy, her Anne is sympathetic and relatable (if perhaps a bit artificially eloquent at times). Her co-stars are, for the most part, equally skilled - is the perfect mix of tart and kind as Marilla, and Crombie is appealingly earnest as Gilbert (his heartfelt Canadian 'sorey's to Anne remain some of fans' favorite moments in the movie). The movie's Prince Edward Island settings are absolutely beautiful, the score memorable, and the romantic moments both sigh-inducing and innocent enough to be completely age-appropriate for even young tweens. Loyal fans of the books may not like some of the liberties that filmmaker has taken with the plot (particularly in the Kingsport sequences), but ultimately the movie stays true to the spirit of both Anne and the novels, and there's a lot to enjoy here.
