Following Matthew's death, Anne Shirley (Megan Follows) has remained at Green Gables to look after aging Marilla. She's teaching young kids and writing stories. Diana Barry is marrying Fred Wright which Anne disapproves at first. Anne rejects Gilbert Blythe's marriage proposal and then again. With Marilla's blessing, she takes a teaching job at a ladies' college in Kingsport, Nova Scotia and struggles to earn everyone's respect. The snobbish ruling Pringle family do not support her appointment. Jen Pringle is the mean girl of the class. Catherine Brooke is the strict spinster teacher. Anne befriends the sweet student Emmeline Harris and her family.Anne Shirley's life keeps moving on. The sequel misses the presence of Richard Farnsworth and Colleen Dewhurst has a reduced role. Quite frankly, Anne leaves everybody and everything behind for a long stretch. The story feels a bit different as Anne becomes the teacher. Megan Follows is able to maintain the character and there are a couple of compelling girls in the class. It doesn't have quite the same charm away from Green Gables but it's a nice detour.

The Sequel, to me, was probably my favorite out of all the Anne movies. This one just had more laughs, more fun, more...Gilbert! The Sequel is mainly, Anne leaving Green Gables to forgo her teaching career, saying fairwell to her "bosom friend," and having mixed feelings for Gilbert and Morgan Harris(one of her student's father). This movie also has a great sense of humor and heartwarming romance. I just love this movie to death. And Megan Follows, Jonathan Crombie, and Colleen Dewhurst, do a FANTASTIC job on playing their characters, and playing them so well. I don't think Sullivan could of asked for anyone better than to ask these amazing performers to take on such wonderful roles. I would truly LOVE to see an Anne 5!

Why isn't the movie like it was written by L.M. Montgomery? It is really well done- great acting etc, but it actually gets boring in parts. I was quite disappointed after reading the books- I expected them to be a little alike. Why couldn't we meet the girls from her college years?This movie is good, but has been changed too much for my liking.

Although the makers of this movie crammed 3 of L.M. Montgomery's novels into one television movie, it is still a delight to watch. The actors from the previous movie still shine on, especially the ones that played Anne and Gilbert.My favorite part of this movie will always be the ending scene when Anne finally falls in love with Gilbert.Watch it by yourself, with a friend, or with the family.
