PollyWorld

Sweet & sour. Good themes of friendship, trust, putting others needs before your own. Didn't like the commercialism and the focus on needing to shop all the time. Also these girls are focused on clothes and shopping - fashion is a key value. Also blatant advertising for Popsicle - are they owned by Mattel? There was an evil stepmother which some object to, but overall I liked it. Polly was always nice - even when facing adversity, and bounced back from bad news - good lessons for my girl to emulate. My 7 year old daughter is Polly crazy (an understatement) and we've watched this about six times so far. She can watch it over and over and over and enjoy it. We are up for another Polly movie.

Polly World was always one of my favourite childhood films. I've lost count over the numerous times I would watch it on DVD. This was such an underrated movie and it's too bad they didn't make more movies like this one or make a TV series out of it. This was great entertainment with all the fun challenges Polly and her friends participated in as well as the great music too. I love Polly so much in this movie. Despite her wealth, she is a kind, caring, down-to-earth person and one of the best friends a girl could ask for. I also enjoyed the team up between Beth and Lorelai, watching as they tried to send Polly away to boarding school. Lorelai is another classic (almost) wicked step mother who wanted to send Polly away so she could have her father all to herself. I'm glad Lorelai was exposed before it was too late and Polly gets to stay with her friends and family.

Overall, this was a fantastic movie that any young girl would love.
