Synopsis
[From DVD release] Imaginative Anne Shirley is sent to Grout Orphanage owned by the sinister Madame Poubelle, where Anne’s wild imagination and storytelling antics land her in big trouble. Luckily she escapes to the pastoral world of Green Gables, where she is adopted by elderly couple Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert. Finding friends and acceptance for the first time in her life, all of Anne’s dreams come true. However the evil Poubelle is determined to have Anne in her clutches. A vanishing heirloom, blundered disguises and a hot air balloon ride provide a climax to a charming new version of this traditional classic. “All the fun and heartache of the original.”
[Originally slated for theatrical release in late 2001, this film was finally released direct-to-DVD in September 2005.]
