Studio Summary

The Vault Disney Collection features some of the greatest family films every created. Filled with timeless themes and memorable moments that strike a chord in everyone, these legendary classics have been fully restored to look and sound as they were originally intended and, for the first time, include exclusive bonus materials your entire family will enjoy for generations to come.

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 strict 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.

Featuring an impressive all-star cast and 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!

Timeless Message-Be Glad, 6.27.2012

Reviewer: Angela Youngblood (Rochester, MI)

This movie brought back so many memories and I was so excited for my kids to fall in love with Pollyanna (Hayley Mills) just like I had so many years ago. I had visions of playing The Glad Game all summer. However, the movie was a little long and a bit dated for my kids (ages 2-10). If I were playing The Glad Game, I would say it was worth watching and fun to all be together as a family.
