Item description for Anne Of Green Gables: The Continuing Story by Sullivan Entertain & Kevin Sullivan...
Set years after her resignation and return from Kingsport Ladies' College Anne is persuaded to join her fiance Gilbert in New York City as he begins his tenure at a major hospital. She is introduced to a publishing firm in the hope of a chance to get published and achieve the same success as Gilbert. Instead both face the disillusioning realities of their professions which makes them decide to return to Avonlea. However any chance of lasting happiness is dashed when Gilbert decides to bow to social pressure and enlist to serve in The Great War in Europe. Anne stays behind and becomes a published writer but learns that contact has been lost with Gilbert. Seeing no other option Anne decides to venture to Europe herself to find him. In doing so she begins an adventure that would challenge her wits and imagination to the limit.System Requirements:Run Time: 240 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating: PG UPC: 622237230427 Manufacturer No: SULDV23042
Outline
In a departure from L.M. Montgomery's book series, this third TV movie jumps ahead to World War I and puts Anne and her beloved Gilbert smack in the middle of it. Instead of marrying Gilbert after her teaching days--as she does in the books--Anne spends a disillusioning year with him in New York City, and then the couple quickly marries before the good doctor ships out to France. (In the book Rilla of Ingleside, Anne's sons go to war and her youngest daughter is separated from her sweetheart.) Impetuous as ever, Anne joins the Red Cross and crosses the pond to track down her husband when his letters are returned unread. What follows is an adventure that takes her through battle zones--where the bodies pile up faster than you can say Saving Private Ryan--and on to London with a half-orphaned baby, her best friend's injured husband, and a tangle of international intrigue. Fans of the 10-book series may balk at the divergences and the fact that very little time is spent on Prince Edward Island. But the book's unrestrained romanticism and unapologetic sentimentality remain intact, as well as the surviving cast of the prior two movies, most notably Megan Follows as Anne and Jonathan Crombie as Gilbert. This movie, produced in 2000, clocks in at 185 minutes and is suitable for ages 9 and older. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Reviews - What do customers think about Anne Of Green Gables: The Continuing Story?
 | No, it's not the books -- but it stands on its own Apr 11, 2010 |
I very rarely review any DVDs I watch, but I felt that I had to write one for Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story, since I almost -- almost -- didn't watch it, due to the reviews I read here at this site. Personally, I'm happy that I disregarded the majority of the reviews and decided for myself to take the chance. For me, it was worth it. Yes, this installment doesn't follow the books. But then, I never really felt that the later books ever reached the high plateau set by the earlier books either. And yes, there were some facets of the miniseries (most glaringly, Ann's unexpectedly vocal antiwar stance and the uncharacteristic whiskey consumption, which at least had the benefit of eventually being related, if not absolutely necessary, to the plotline) that diverged significantly from the direction which Ms. Montgomery had taken Anne's character. And yes, there was certainly a good bit of playing fast-and-loose with the author's timeline.
On the other hand, if there was going to be a sequel, the time and cost demands of making such a production more or less required that the story could not follow the series of books. Just the basic setting up of the sequel as defined by the author would almost insist on a miniseries of its own, and let's be real: once Anne and Gilbert get married in the books, it's pretty well their children's story, and while I certainly can't speak for the other 300 reviewers for this miniseries, I myself can say that the reason I would -- and did -- watch any sequel to the first two installments was to see Anne and Gilbert finally get together. At least in this series, we did in fact see Anne and Gilbert together at last, finally the kindred spirits they were always meant to be. In fact, one of the major pluses for me for this series was that Gilbert actually played a major role in the plotline, rather than playing the peripheral character he has mostly occupied in both the earlier miniseries and the books. And I have to say, it was good to see Anne, for once, putting her entire heart and soul into her devotion to Gil, rather than constantly walking away from his own never-wavering devotion to her.
Finally, let me say that I thought the performances were quite up to the standard set by the earlier miniseries. Of course, Megan Follows and Jonathan Crombie were admittedly more mature than they had been during the earlier miniseries, and that did take some getting used to. But I also felt that their ages seemed more appropriate to the ages of the characters at this stage in their lives than was sometimes the case with the second sequel. What did surprise me was how little Schuyler Grant had changed over the years. That girl must keep the Fountain of Youth in her backyard!
All in all, I was pleasantly surprised with this final installment of Anne of Green Gables. I honestly felt that the first half truly did reflect a great deal of the charm and ambiance of the earlier miniseries, and while the second half does occasionally strain credulity (Anne has the strangest habit of running into old friends and new acquaintances at the most unbelievably convenient times and in the oddest locations), the story always kept my attention, and in the end, I was glad I hung in there.
For what it's worth, my recommendation is to please do give this one a try, unless you're a dedicated book purist or you cannot bear the idea that favorite characters do grow up and change. You may or may not be glad you did -- but at least, like me, you'll have made that determination for yourself. | | |  | Love it! Mar 30, 2010 |
| I love these movies...but this one was my least favorite of the three. It doesn't really follow the books at all, either. | | | | Troisième volet - Anne et la maison aux pignons verts Mar 17, 2010 |
| Ce troisième volet de la série tant aimée au Canada est assurément celui qui contient le plus d'aventures et de rebondissements saisissants, le contexte historique s'y prêtant bien. Les personnages ont bien vieillis et l'histoire est bonne et intéressante. Cependant, personnellement parlant, il y manque un je-ne-sais-quoi dans le traitement visuel et c'est la raison pour laquelle je ne lui accorde que 4 étoiles au lieu de 5, contrairement aux deux premiers films. | | | | LOVE it! Wish there were more... Dec 8, 2009 |
| I love all of the Anne of Green Gables movies! I was afraid this one would be different because it came out several years after the 1st 2 movies. It WAS different, because much of it takes place overseas during WWI, while Anne tried to find Gil, but I still loved it! I am so glad they used the same actors for all three movies! | | | | Fantastic, Fantastic, Fantastic Nov 29, 2009 |
| I have always loved the Anne of Green Gables stories/movies. My niece also loved watching them and my movies will be given to her for her children (since I do not have any children). | | | Write your own review about Anne Of Green Gables: The Continuing Story
