A couple of critics felt that the remake strayed too far from the novel. You know how it is, people aren’t very receptive to the changing of what they consider classics.

What they meant was that Polly did not resemble the 1960 Hayley Mills movie version of Pollyanna, which itself played fast and loose with the source material.”
