Anne Shirley (Ella Ballentine) is growing older. Her teacher Miss Stacy encourages her to study to be a teacher at the Queen's Academy in Charlottetown. Infuriated, her nemesis Gilbert Blythe joins her while her best friend Diana Barry does not. Matthew (Martin Sheen)'s bank is under investigation as his health starts to deteriorate.
Ella is a solid Anne and it's great to have her grow up while portraying the iconic character. She's a good little actress. Diana is not as prominent. This does need a better Gilbert. There is no one better than Martin Sheen and he's great in his scenes. This works as a stand alone and as a sequel.
