Pollyanna
Movie • 2003
ReportSynopsis
Pollyanna Whittier goes to live with her wealthy but bitter aunt after the tragic death of her father. Pollyanna shares a game her father taught her -- the 'Glad Game' -- in which everyone can find a silver lining in even the darkest cloud, and her sunny nature, good humor and determination to look on the bright side of life prove to have an astonishing effect on those around her. With the help of her orphaned friend, Jimmy Bean, she casts her spell on the grumpiest townsfolk of Beldingsville -- including the cynical shut-in Mrs. Snow, the morose millionaire Mr. Pendleton and the enigmatic Dr. Chilton. And Pollyanna masterminds the romance between her Aunt's maid, Nancy, and the handyman, Tim. It is only Aunt Polly, who cannot bring herself to embrace Pollyanna's innocence and joy. But all is not straightforward in Pollyanna's war against pessimism, since she must overcome a personal tragedy that threatens to banish "glad" from her vocabulary forever.

Abuse might be a strong word for the mistreatment of Pollyanna, but her aunt is less than kind to her. She doesn’t allow Pollyanna to discuss her father’s passing, and is dismissive of the girl’s feelings throughout most of the film.

Mr. Pendleton falls down and breaks his leg. It is not a graphic scene, and he recovers throughout the rest of the movie.

Pollyanna is orphaned. Both parents die offscreen before the start of the movie, and she makes frequent references to them throughout

Wholesome moments often have unknown onlookers, like when Pollyanna is jumping on her new bed or when Tim gives Nancy flowers

I am unsure if Mrs. Snow has a chronic illness or something more like depression, but when we first meet her, it is said she has laid in bed for weeks feeling unwell
