    Story Synopsis:
    Starring in her first of many Disney films, Hayley Mills stars as Pollyanna, an orphan with an incessantly happy heart of gold.

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a remarkably clean picture, with images that are nicely detailed, though a bit soft.

The source element is revealing of few artifacts and little film grain. The movie looks great for its age. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
