1) DVD DVD Avonlea Christmas - Spin-off from Anne of Green Gables and Road to Avonlea by Sullivan Entertainment. My grandddaughter and I loved this DVD. You do have to have followed the entire series to understand the plot development of this DVD, however. Thankfully, we had and it was wonderful!¤ 2) DVD DVD Avonlea Christmas - Spin-off from Anne of Green Gables and Road to Avonlea by Sullivan Entertainment. This is pure Avonlea. A delightful feel-good warm ending Christmas story for the entire family. It is beautifully filmed with the old country look that we all wish for our own Christmas times.
It is a war story taking place on the home front as boys head to war, and only some return. It has a Scroogie old lady school teacher, who learns at Christmas time that love of family is available and worthwhile. There are other individual struggles but as in all good "G" rated stories, all´s well that ends well.
If hearing the name "Avonlea" congers up good thoughts, then you will enjoy this DVD to the max.¤ 3) DVD DVD Avonlea Christmas - Spin-off from Anne of Green Gables and Road to Avonlea by Sullivan Entertainment. Our whole family (from oldest to youngest) love this movie and all the avonlea videos.¤ 4) DVD DVD Avonlea Christmas - Spin-off from Anne of Green Gables and Road to Avonlea by Sullivan Entertainment. There are not enough family type movies out there in this day & time. This is a heart warming story that you can watch with your kids or grandkids and not be embaressed. I love the Avonlea families.¤ 5) DVD DVD Avonlea Christmas - Spin-off from Anne of Green Gables and Road to Avonlea by Sullivan Entertainment.
"Avonlea Christmas" is missing the wonderful charm of seasons 1-6 of "Road to Avonlea".
I highly recommend seasons 1-5 of "Road to Avonlea", season-6 is good, but does not reach the heights of the earlier seasons. The episodes are written by different writers. The focus of the "Avonlea Christmas" episode, is one dispute to the next, rather than predicaments for the characters to display their personalities, and their ultimate warmth. The little kids are grown, so the same arguments are no longer cute. This episode-writer was unfamiliar with the true personalities of the characters previously established in the mind of the audience. My favorite episode writers of the early seasons of "Avonlea", Heather Conkie, Suzette Couture, and Hart Hanson, who set a high standard for the series, did not write "Avonlea Christmas".
Has the same technical proficiency in costumes, lighting, and good morals; but something is missing. It is not the same. Likewise, the first two "Anne of Green Gables" movies were great, (with the script lifted from the books) but the third Anne movie, during World-War-I, was unsatisfying, as here, written by a different writer, taking us to a place we did not wish to go, with characters we do not know.
If you do not expect to continue "Road to Avonlea", and do not mind more conflict, then you may enjoy this. Will be as good as anything on TV, but with characters who are not their old selves.
Another good period series is "Christy the Complete Series".
