Pollyanna

Of course I saw the original and was curious about this one. I was disappointed in the movie and maybe it was closer to the book than the Disney version, but I found that this Pollyanna couldn't compare to the one played by Hayley Mills. The people looked more glamorous and that's not surprising since there's such a difference in decades. I guess I enjoyed the feeling of the Disney movie more than this one. The original invoked so much more emotion. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this one too, but not nearly as much.

Disney movies get a bad rap for putting out feel good movies, but I think they give the children and audience a chance to gain a curiosity for the subjects in their movies. So whether they changed things or not it made this movie more watchable to see the differences. Doesn't matter if it was done in the States or Great Britain. Should never really matter as long as the effect of the story is put across. In this aspect the movie done now still has that, like the Disney version. Obviously seeing one before the other will taint your idea of what the best movie is, both have something different to offer. Just watch the movie and see for yourself. Your opinion is the only one that matters when it comes to what you like and don't.
