The actual film, of course, is worth 5 stars all by itself and is a classic adaptation of a beloved novel, so what I want to talk about is why Anne's fans should pick up the DVD version as well.

The question remains whether supporting the recent feminist criticism that has "challenge[d] the exclusive categorization of [Montgomery] as a children's writer" (Hammill xv) and suggesting that "being classified as a children's writer tends to diminish her status" (Hammill 83) reinforce the devaluation of children's literature as a field of study or as serious literature.

Moreover, not only is Anne of Green Gables a literary character, but as a representative figure she is also visual and ideological.
