In 2016, we got a fresh Anne from Ella Ballentine. Megan Follows had a tough act to follow with the huge age range she had to portray. I totally agree that Amybeth’s Anne is so relatable to many of us, and also a role model for getting through the negative emotions! Ella is darling, isn’t she?
I would highly recommend the book “Orphan Text” to anyone who thinks this Anne is unrealistic.
The first season loosely follows the book, but the second season diverges even more widely. The acting in both of the newer versions is over the top and very affected. … and in a corner of the world, where I am now, I mourn that I did not know of Jonathan Crombie before he left us all. I am somewhat astonished by your comment on people with childhood trauma. She made me cry. She also… I don’t know, she lacked a lot of Megan’s charm.

Anne is an ugly duckling who is awkward, but incredibly kind and brave. I feel like she is a leading character my daughter can connect with and find a true kindred spirit. I think the new Anne looks SO right! AB McN was/is superb, in sure there is naturally some of Anne in her.
I read the books long before I watched any of the movies (and true, there are a few I have not seen).
Sure, this makes it accessible to a slightly younger crowd, in that kindergartners could watch and enjoy it.
She is appropriately distrusting, but still sees the wonder in people and moments. She never lacked sweetness, but came across as a bit more self-centered, at least, at first. (2017) Anne with an E – A Canadian drama and Netflix series produced by Moira Walley-Beckett and Miranda de Pencier.
Thank you for writing it so much. As an INFP myself, just like Anne, I must say that, just because we are very imaginative, it doesnt mean we are always happy and humourous. I’m in complete agreement. Hi Again. In one of my eight reviews of the new series, I wrote of McNulty’s Anne: “Her needfulness is stark, at times, and not always easy to watch. Three different versions of our Anne-girl. And especially to the cast of characters not being played by Megan Follows, Jonathan Crombie, Colleen Dewhurst, and Richard Farnsworth! This is why the book is so beloved. Then I was delightfully surprised to meet the Lynde of 2016–what a sweetheart! There’s no appeal to her character, for me, no reason for me to see why the Cuthberts adore her. All the actresses I have seen portray Anne have added certain aspects. That’s what’s missing.
She is the sunshine he has needed for so long.
It’s just that the Anne in the Netflix/CBC adaptation is not quite the Anne of the books; she was not written that way. The 1985 Anne is the definitive story of childhood folly and the ultimate coming-of-age story. 2. Instead, they are actually comparing it to the Megan Follows version that we all know and love and feel it is too different from that.
Anne in the books tried SO hard to fit in and be polite, which made it so much more fun how she kept failing.
But to me, she felt hollow. Pros: It bothers me that people seem to be demanding that Anne is always adorable and charm-o-riffic, unscathed, unharmed from a hideous childhood which even the book says was one full of “poverty, drudgery, and neglect.” Viewers have called this Anne “crazy,” “bratty,” and other pejoratives. I wrote: “…Ella is a younger Anne, and after all, Anne was eleven when she came to Green Gables.
We suffer so much some of us have the tendency towards having depression. How fine that would be. Every dream and speech was an audition for play, a sworn oath, with her gaze constantly averted skyward, and it was easy to imagine that Follows’s Anne was maybe destined for the stage.
There’s a reason why it is, & will continue to be, the classic interpretation. The Classes of the Indoor Housecat: Felinus Fluffibutticus, Percy Shelley and His Insane Love Triangle, Most Scandalous, LOST: The Island, Smoke Monster, and Everything Else Explained. But true to Anne? Long may she live! I confess that I’ve liked this new series so much, plus adding that last episode filled with cliffhangers, that it scares me a little when I read about the negativity. While Megan’s Anne was everything happy, Amybeth’s is everything that was bad.
Lalonde’s take was pretty straight-forward, and I have no significant complaints, but largely that is because her role was so minimized–as was the entire Avonlea ensemble’s. I would also like to point out that this character is purely fictional and therefore one can have her go through the most extreme experiences, something that would only happen once in a million years, such is the luxury of existing in a fictional world. Of course, she was a little too old to be believably eleven, but she brought a certain gravity, dignified strength, spiritual and moral heft and understated elegance to the role that is quintessentially Anne.
So many reasons why. And woooweeee did people ever REACT. I do think I am not a purist; I enjoy the Harry Potter books as much as the films, and I love the Lord of The Rings trilogy films as well as the books. Surely he’s a little sillier and probably plays better for a much younger audience, and that isn’t all rotten. Soon they’ll be all silvery in the moonlight. Spring is here, where I am in Canada, and the wild cherry trees have just begun to blossom. Megan Follows is just so believable in how she portrays Anne, it doesn’t feel forced or fake the way it did with McNulty at times.
She does make Anne seem more mature, and she brought to life the comedy of the books most successfully. Warmest Regards, View @hauntedcoconut’s profile on Twitter, View hauntedcoconut’s profile on Instagram.
I’ve been burned before. On a side note, I think that older people playing Anne and Gilbert is okay for a few reasons – life expectancy was shorter and kids were expected to be more mature earlier then and I think older actors have a better perspective or are able to look retrospectively at the age the characters are. No. McNulty’s Anne seems downright ungrateful and Marilla is downright hostile towards her for the first episode.
A fascinating comment about Star Wars!
I thought they would examine the class structure and how the hired help was looked down upon, and I thought that scene would be used to show us that Anne would have held apart herself from all this, not by conscious design, but simply because it was alien to her crystal-clear nature (paraphrased from Anne of Avonlea). It’s actually kind of sad to show kids these days that you should literally run away from your problems rather than healthy ways to cope with them.
Change ).
https://bit.ly/2yyR5Rq, Tell me below, respectfully, of course, and we can all talk about Anne, Anne, ANNE until the cows come home (or they get let out of the pasture by mistake! Her huge eyes convey sorrow, rejection, and a little soul battered by neglect. That’s not Anne.
I grew up with her version of Anne. I can see why folks would love Anne With An ‘E’. In this spirit, I think that the Netflix/CBC adaptation is excellent for reasons aforementioned in the previous paragraph, if somewhat too exciting (melodramatic?) 3. One look at her ludicrously imperious face as she clung to a bridge piling after the Lady of Shallott fiasco, trying to avoid humiliation and drowning (in that order), and I still chuckle.
Many meows and thank-yous.
They might have been a tiny bit too on the sweet side in the 1985 version, but Follows lived and breathed sincerity. This world is a poorer, sadder place without him as he was, by all accounts, a bright and shining soul.
The chemistry between all the characters makes the perfect portrayal of Anne by Megan Follows absolutely untouchable! I wish I cared more about any of them. Margi Lewis.
But I note that while grasping for criticism.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Megan Follows as Anne and have watched and rewatched the series more times than I can count, but Anne’s character development suddenly made sense when the trauma and emotional fallout was shown through McNulty’s performance. Reawaken your passion for reading by discovering books you love and connecting with like-minded readers. I was always kind of glad Anne went off on her. She’s the Mary Tyler Moore of Avonlea. Oh my goodness.
I’m spitting out my lime once more, setting down my glass of gin, and cracking my knuckles in anticipation of another great showdown between rival cinematic loves. I wouldn’t want Anne with an E to be just like Megan Follows, I like that it has taken the book itself and made its own interpretation, because that is what we as readers do on our own anyway.
I have been hearing comments from people who have said they DIDN’T relate to Megan’s Anne because of their own trauma.
My husband really likes Amybeth’s Anne, but I think I need more time and the second season of the show to fall in love with her.
Maybe the perfect Diana is still out there. That an adoptee has to have an imagination because the truth of their life is so horrid. Amybeth is truer to the book in terms of looks….
Thanks, Dawn! I like the darkness and I like the extra realism.
And for the rest of us, it is showing us a new side of Anne, where she came from, what made her who she was.”.
Anne of Green Gables essentially justified my existence; I learned that I wasn’t alone and that it was all right to be different because everyone is unique. The casting in the 80’s version is impeccable. Megan Follows for acting and Amybeth McNulty for looks.
I’m all for escape into other worlds I don’t t live in now. My list from best to worse is as follows: Amybeth, Megan, Ella.
I felt that McNulty did the dark and sad parts quite well, but unfortunately the parts that were direct quotes from the book she couldn’t quite pull off and that’s the actual Anne that I want to see.
I just know Follows’s Anne and I would have been kindred spirits.
That adaptation speaks for itself, as does the setting, as romantic as it gets, with fields and flowers and what I imagine to be the St Lawrence Gulf lapping against the shores of Abegweit. I was waiting for Marilla to spit on a handkerchief and wipe off the mascara dots in exasperation.
Ella. For a long time, I resisted watching any screen adaptations because I love the books passionately and I was so very afraid of being disappointed. In fact, I pretty much hate it. It was a refreshing change, but perhaps a bit too sugary.
Thanks again. Anyway. I think she poisoned people in secret.
I have an Anne in my heart.
On the contrary, it is helping keep her alive. I thought Farnsworth would be my Matthew until the end of time.
Every time it comes on my heart swells a little and I smile. Ella Ballentine’s innocence and sweetness. The 1985 Rachel Lynde was a real bitch.
I mean to convey that I am not trying to attack your message in any way, just adding to the discussion.
