Anne of Green Gables: The Animated Series is a half-hour Canadian children's animated television show produced by Sullivan Entertainment and created by writer/director/producer Kevin Sullivan, based on the 1908 novel Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery. One season of the series was produced, with 26 episodes, originally airing from 2001 to 2002. The series was developed for PBS. The show now currently airs in reruns on Qubo. Each episode contained an educational aspect, with a problem for one or more of the show's characters to face and solve. In conjunction with these problems, PBS "Ready-to-Learn" guides were created for teachers in America to use in classrooms.
In 2005, an animated Anne of Green Gables movie was made titled Anne: Journey to Green Gables. This 85-minute direct-to-video film was a prequel to the live action Anne of Green Gables series. The cast voices included Lally Cadeau, Cedric Smith, Kathy Greenwood, and Patricia Hamilton, all of whom had appeared in previous Sullivan Entertainment productions.
