However, when Mr. Hammond dies, Anne is sent to an orphanage where she eventually receives the wonderful news that she has been adopted by a couple on Prince Edward Island ( P.E.I ). Upon arriving in P.E.I, Anne is met at the train station by the elderly Matthew Cuthbert who is surprised to find a girl there instead of a boy. Matthew and his sister Marilla had requested a boy to help them with the farm chores. He decides that he could n't very well just leave the girl at the train station. Matthew takes Anne to meet Marilla and on the buggy ride home becomes completely smitten with the red - haired orphan girl. When Anne Shirley arrives at the Cuthberts ' farm, called `` Green Gables '', she is a precocious, romantic child desperate to be loved and highly sensitive about her red hair and homely looks. In her own unique headstrong manner, Anne manages to insult the town gossip, Rachel Lynde, in a dispute over her looks ; smash her slate over Gilbert Blythe 's head when he calls her `` Carrots '' on her first day of school ; and accidentally dyes her hair green in an effort to turn her red hair black and salvage her wounded pride. Marilla Cuthbert is shocked and beside herself to know how she will ever cope with this sensitive, headstrong child so desperate to fit in. But shy, gentle Matthew is always there to defend Anne and hold her up on a pedestal. It seems like Anne is destined to cultivate disaster. She becomes `` bosom '' friends with Diana Barry from across the pond and succeeds in getting Diana drunk by accidentally serving currant wine instead of raspberry cordial at a tea party. Diana 's mother and Rachel Lynde turn on Marilla for making wine in the first place. Anne moves from one mishap to the next as her wild imagination and far - fetched antics combine to constantly land her in trouble. Anne finds her element in the academic world, ultimately competing neck and neck with Gilbert Blythe who becomes her arch opponent. Anne and Gilbert go on to win the highest academic accolades, constantly vying for honors at every level. Eventually their fierce rivalry turns to a secret affection, which blossoms into love. Marilla tries to prevent Anne from seeing Gilbert because Anne is still quite young and Marilla wants Anne to continue her education. In the end, however, when Matthew dies and forces Marilla into considering selling Green Gables, Gilbert gives Anne his teaching post in nearby Avonlea so she can stay at Green Gables and continue to support Marilla.

Selitsky 's Accompanist Production Kevin Sullivan adapted the novel into his own screenplay, collaborating with industry veteran Joe Wiesenfeld. Sullivan developed a co-production between the CBC and PBS in order to film Anne of Green Gables. Sullivan amalgamated many of Montgomery 's episodes into the film 's plot. While the film diverged from Montgomery 's original, he relied on strong characterizations and visuals in order to render the story for a contemporary audience. Primary locations for filming the movie included Prince Edward Island, Stouffville, Ontario, Jacksons Point, Ontario, and Westfield Heritage Village in the Hamilton, Ontario neighbourhood of Rockton. Filming was done over a consecutive ten - week shoot. Sullivan used several locations as Green Gables farm and combined them to appear as one property. The original film and sequels ( including Road to Avonlea and the animated Anne films and series covering over 130 hours of production ) have been seen in almost every country around the world. The films have now been translated and seen in more places than even the original novels. During filming of the original movies an open casting call was held throughout Canada in order to find a young actress to play Anne Shirley. Katharine Hepburn recommended that her great niece, Schuyler Grant, play the role of Anne Shirley. Director Kevin Sullivan liked Grant 's performance and wanted to give her the role. However, broadcast executives were resistant to cast an American as a Canadian icon. Schuyler Grant ended up playing Anne 's best friend, Diana, and Anne Shirley was ultimately played by Megan Follows. In her first audition, Megan Follows came highly recommended. But, she was quickly dismissed by Kevin Sullivan. For her second audition, after a turbulent morning leading up to her audition, a frantic Megan made a much better impression and was given the role. Sequels and spin - off TV series Film series Main articles : Anne of Avonlea ( 1987 film ), Anne of Green Gables : The Continuing Story, and Anne of Green Gables : A New Beginning Anne of Green Gables is the first film in a series of four based on the titular character. In 1987, the film 's sequel, Anne of Avonlea, was released. ( It was subsequently retitled Anne of Green Gables : The Sequel on home video. ) The final movie, Anne of Green Gables : The Continuing Story, was aired on March 5, 2000 in Canada and on July 23, 2000 in the United States. The final film passed over Anne 's House of Dreams -- the corresponding Anne novel -- in favor of a plot not featured in Montgomery 's series, and did not receive the same critical praise as the first two films. In 2008, the fourth in the series, titled Anne of Green Gables : A New Beginning was completed. The film stars Barbara Hershey, Shirley MacLaine, and Rachel Blanchard and it introduces Hannah Endicott Douglas as the new Anne Shirley. The film is both a sequel and a prequel to Sullivan 's trilogy. TV series The first two Anne films generated a spin - off television series which aired from 1989 to 1996 and starred Sarah Polley. The Road to Avonlea series featured characters and episodes from several of Montgomery 's books. Anne herself did not appear in the episodes, but Gilbert Blythe, Marilla Cuthbert, and other characters from the Anne books were included. Other productions In 2000 -- 2001, Sullivan Animation produced Anne of Green Gables : The Animated Series consisting of 26 half - hour episodes. The series was developed for PBS and each episode contained an educational and / or moral component. In 2005, Sullivan Animation also produced the feature - length animated film Anne : Journey to Green Gables which is an imaginative, whimsical prequel to Sullivan 's live action Anne of Green Gables film. A year after the mini-series originally aired, Canadian comedy duo Wayne and Shuster created and starred in a parody entitled Sam of Green Gables, in which a curmudgeonly old man named Sam is sent to Green Gables instead of Anne.

In 2016, Sullivan Entertainment announced it would launch their own streaming service called Gazebo TV. It will feature the Anne of Green Gables series among other titles produced by the company. It is slated to launch in early 2017. Lawsuits In 1908 Lucy Maude Montgomery signed a contract with the LC Page Co. in Boston that permitted them to publish all of her books for 5 years on the same terms : the main terms were a 10 % royalty and world rights to all of the author 's books ; part it also included the right to publish all of her future works. The relationship with Pageant actually spanned nearly ten years and resulted in the publication of nine novels and collections of short stories. However, when Montgomery contracted with a Canadian publisher ( McClelland, Goodchild and Stewart ), LC Page claimed that they had the exclusive rights to her new books and threatened to sue her. Montgomery instead took LC Page to court to recover withheld royalties. The lawsuit resulted in a settlement in 1919 whereby LC Page bought out all of Montgomery 's rights to all of her novels published by them. The settlement excluded any reversionary rights that might become due for the benefit of either her or her heirs if such rights were to become enacted. The settlement paid Montgomery a flat sum of $18,000 ; at the time an amount she would have expected to see earned from her works during her lifetime. Sullivan purchased dramatic rights from the Montgomery 's heirs in 1984, believing that they owned reversionary rights that had come into place as a result of changes to the copyright act subsequent to Montgomery 's death. After Sullivan 's films were successful around the world and brought legions of tourists to Prince Edward Island the Montgomery heirs established an Anne of Green Gables Licensing Authority with the Province of Prince Edward Island to control trademarks to preserve Montgomery 's works, through the mechanism of official trademarks. The heirs and the AGGLA became successful at asserting control over the booming Anne - themed tourist industry that the province enjoyed, because of the lack of clarity about the different protections afforded by copyright, trademark and official marks in Canada. AGGLA and the heirs tried to assert control over trademarks Sullivan had established to their various Anne movies ( Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea, Anne of Green Gables -- the Continuing Story ) and Road to Avonlea properties both in Canada, the US and Japan. A Japanese court then determined that the heirs were not entitled to the reversionary rights that they claimed they had sold to Sullivan and that the AGGLA was set up for pursuing private interests and not for serving public interests such as maintaining or managing the value, fame or reputation of the literary work, the author or even the main character of Anne. The Court determined that the AGGLA was the heirs ' private profit - seeking enterprise as far as its activities were concerned. Sullivan and the heirs came into further conflict during the 1990s. Sullivan was sued by the heirs. Their contractual agreement with Sullivan said that he would pay them a flat $425,000 ( CAD ) fee for the right to adapt the first book ( and another $100,000 to do the second movie, Anne of Avonlea ), plus 10 % of the profits of Anne 1 and 5 % of the profits of Anne 2. The contract also gave them the right to examine Sullivan Entertainment 's financial records. However, when Sullivan claimed that neither of the movies had earned a net profit and ( the heirs assert ) refused to allow them to audit his books, they served a claim against him. Sullivan argued that the heirs and the AGGLA had enjoined the films by usurping the Sullivan trademarks and drastically reduced the profitability of the ventures. The heirs staged a press conference in 1998 at exactly the time when Sullivan was about to close a public offering to take his company public, to force Sullivan to pay them further receipts. The offering however was pulled by the underwriters and Sullivan counter-sued for libel, insisting that the heirs should pay damages of $55 million to all parties involved. A Superior Court of Ontario judge dismissed his suit on January 19, 2004. The Montgomery heirs subsequently dropped their claim for Sullivan to pay them any royalties however a settlement between Sullivan, the Montgomery heirs and the AGGLA was reached in 2006 to deal with all of their outstanding disagreements. Although Kevin Sullivan 's works were initially based upon the works of Montgomery, Sullivan developed most of his successful Anne - related film properties ( Anne of Avonlea, Anne - the Continuing Story, Anne -- A New Beginning and Road to Avonlea ) based on original material, not directly adapted from Montgomery 's books. Many questions have been raised in court as to the author 's heirs ' rights in her copyright. The heirs have tried to extend the copyright in Montgomery 's unpublished works until 2017 but lost that opportunity in 2004 when the Canadian Parliament rejected the provision they had pursued so ardently for the unpublished works of dead authors. In a Japanese court decision which addressed the heir 's challenge to the validity of Sullivan 's ownership of Japanese trademark 's in the movie property, the Japanese High Court commented on the heirs ' entitlement to reversionary copyright which formed the basis of the rights that the family claimed to have sold to Sullivan. The Court stated that the heirs ' reversionary copyright was non-existent and that there was no need for Sullivan or any other entity to account to the heirs for the use of the trademark in Japan. The Court stated : `` It is not clear from a legal point of view why permission from the heirs of the author or its related entity the Anne of Green Gables Licensing ( AGGLA ) authority was necessary. '' The Japanese Court also extensively scrutinized whether the copyright in the book Anne of Green Gables had ever devolved to the heirs and called for extensive filing of evidence on this point. Sullivan filed an original 1919 agreement between Montgomery and L.C. Page & Co. which specifically excluded the heirs ' reversionary claims. Montgomery sold all of her publishing and copyright to her series of novels, in perpetuity, to her original American publisher in 1919, to the exclusion of her heirs. The Court further questioned whether the heirs ' licensing authority was engaged in activities of sufficient public interest as to qualify as a controlling body of Montgomery 's works. The Court stated : ``... the possibility can not be denied that the Anne of Green Gables Licensing Authority is the heirs ' private profit - seeking enterprise as far as the activities with which the heirs of the subject case are involved are concerned. It is not proved from the evidence submitted in the subject case that the Anne of Green Gables Licensing Authority is involved in activities of public interest that are sufficient for the Anne of Green Gables Licensing Authority to be qualified as the owner of the registration of the subject mark as a controlling body of the subject literary work. '' Trademark and copyright After recent speculation as to who owned the copyrights and trademarks concerning Anne of Green Gables today, there are principally two entities that control rights relating to Anne of Green Gables. The Anne of Green Gables Licensing Authority ( AGGLA -- which includes Lucy Maude Montgomery 's heirs and the Province of Prince Edward Island ) and Sullivan Entertainment ( the producers of the well - known films and TV series based on Montgomery 's novels ). The Anne of Green Gables Licensing Authority controls certain exclusive trademarks relating to Anne of Green Gables commercial merchandise and service related to Montgomery 's literary works and any copyright in the Montgomery books which have not reverted to the public domain. Sullivan Entertainment Inc, under agreement with the Anne of Green Gables Licensing Authority, retains all of the dramatic copyright and motion picture copyright in over 125 hours of their original movies, mini-series and television series based on both the Anne and Avonlea series of novels and certain trade - marks relating to Sullivan sourced Anne of Green Gables merchandise and services. Sullivan 's use of the Anne of Green Gables trademarks extends from motion picture products and books, DVDs, CDs etc. to all commercial merchandise related to Sullivan 's films and television series based on their visual images, costume and production designs, settings, themes and original characters. Sullivan Entertainment also solely controls the commercial trademarks to Anne of Avonlea, Anne of the Island, and Road to Avonlea. References Jump up ^ Heilbron, Alexandra ( 1999 ).
