It's been a long time since I've seen Pollyanna. I do remember some of it. It's a very cutesy movie where the child knows better than the adults. Pollyanna has recently been orphaned and goes to live with her aunt in a new environment. Pollyanna is an extra perky look-on-the-bright-side kind of a kid. The aunt is a stuffy rich know-it-all. Pollyanna goes around the town meeting everyone with a smile of her face even the old grump that no one has talked to in years. Pollyanna optimism starts to wane after an accident but the aunt gets a revelation that if she had a better attitude things would be better. All is good in the end. A feel good movie to watch with the kiddies.
