- Quotes
Gilbert Blythe: It'll be three years before I finish medical school. Even then there won't be any diamond sunbursts or marble halls.
Anne Shirley: I don't want diamond sunbursts, or marble halls. I just want you.
- Alternate versionsThe 2011 wide-screen 'Restoration Edition' DVD uses alternate, outtake footage not seen in the original 1987 film. The first 30 minute reel of 'Anne of Green Gables: The Sequel' had a very deep negative scratch in the emulsion layer of the film. This accident occurred during the creation of a 35mm theatrical negative in the early 90s, damaging the first reel beyond repair. This meant each shot in the first reel had to be completely rebuilt from a variety of sources. In some cases, each frame of the film had to be completely Photoshopped in order to repair it, particularly during sequences where action was passing across the screen. In some cases, director Kevin Sullivan determined that the damage was too significant, so scenes were reconstructed using outtakes. Second and third takes were used.

Featured review
Anne of Avonlea is another wonderful addition. Not much in casting has changed. Megan Follows will forever be recognized and known as the Anne Shirley of my generation and those generations that follows but it's a commanding role that is enduring and wonderful too. Colleen Dewhurst returns to her role as Marilla Cuthbert and Dame Wendy Hiller even has a supporting role. I love Anne and Gilbert's relationship as it evolves from childhood through puberty and adulthood. Anne's coming of age story here is beautifully crafted to display the same brilliance as it was in the original Anne of Green Gables. The cast, the crew, the writers who adapted the novel to the screen, the cinematographer who was faithful to the Canadian history and literary contributions that Lucy Maud Montgomery developed in this novel. The costumes and set direction are faithful to the time period. Watching Anne of Green Gables, you want to visit and perhaps move your family to Prince Edward Island in Canada.
