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

 Another Take on "Over the Rainbow" June 21, 2008

When Pollyanna, Hayley Mills, is paralyzed, she is faced with the same
question that she had posed others with her "glad game." Are you going
my way or am I going yours? Enjoy that Pollyanna moment when a town of
chandelier shakers such as Karl Malden convert into a town of rainbow
riders. They welcome her back into again believing in the shared ride.
Wholesome and Sweet June 7, 2008

If you want a completely clean, wholesome family movie, this is it. Pollyanna is the perpetually bright child who brings joy in the miserable lives of the people in her aunt's town. When she faces her own demons, the support of those she helped is overwhelming. It's such a great movie and a classic Hayley Mills.
 Likeable story May 3, 2008

The story of Pollyanna is very likeable. It centers around a new girl in town who is very refreshing with her positive outlook on things. The color is vibrant and the characters very funny. Oddly enough, even though she won an academy award, I think the casting of Haley Mills in the title role was a mistake. She doesn't come across as genuinely likeable as the character calls for. And she spends most of the movie with a scrunched up face that's almost a scowl. It contrasts greatly with what the Pollyanna personality calls for. However, it is nonetheless an enjoyable movie. A great family film.

I was surprised that there were not more reviews for this wonderful, engaging film. After watching it again yesterday on Easter Sunday, I felt the need to write about it. This is a beautiful film that I wonder if a lot of people have forgotten about. It has so much meaning and heart. Every family, adult and child needs to see this and watch it at least once a year. It is a pure masterpiece on every level. Even the adults will cry. With everything bad going on in the world today, this is something you want to sit down and watch to lift your spirits. Without Hayley Mills, this would not have been as effective. She really made the movie in every way. 5 stars!
