This movie is an excellent choice for small children discovering Anne! Although the best series by far is Kevin Sullivan's Anne of Green Gables, it is nearly unavailable in the United States in 2017. So, this version is a great introduction. It is very cute and sweet and very appropriate for children under the age of 10. There is another series by Moira Beckett called "Anne with an E" that I have been enjoying as an adult, but would not recommend for young children. It's just too dark and scary. I was thrilled to hear that L.M. Montgomery's family was licensing a televised version of these classic stories.
