    This adaptation may suffer in comparison to the novel and iconic 1980s miniseries, but it’s still fun family fare for the holidays.

    Overall, the pacing of the new Anne is rather slow, but not so much that it ruins the underlying heartfelt emotions that make just about every variation on Anne of Green Gables irresistible.

    There are no surprises in this story. All is predictable, sorrows pass, happiness triumphs--a formula that works out splendidly in this endearing tale.
