Sinopse

The orphan girl Pollyanna moves in with her miserable aunt in New England. Despite being unwanted, Pollyanna's exuberance and positivity affect everyone who meets her, and she spreads joy and love wherever she goes. But when tragedy strikes, Pollyanna finds her optimistic attitude tested and she must learn to find happiness again.
