“Polly” (1989) did so well with audiences and television critics that they even made a sequel: “ Polly: Coming Home” (1990) that aired a year later. You can watch that for free here (https://youtu.be/iCbgSEJDqIs?si=C55G7KP1hDEKfQLG)

Apologies RE: the picture quality. “Polly” (1989) was made as part of “The Magical World of Disney”. Despite having high ratings and generally good reviews, it having been aired on NBC complicates its home media and streaming rights.

@MatthewTitus88 Yeah.. I keep getting the concert film “Pop Gear/Go Go Mania” (1965) suggested to me on various streaming sites but the host that pops up through out the different performances is ultra Pedo POS Jimmy Savile 🤬🤮 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Savile_sexual_abuse_scandal).

If you don’t think “Polly” (1989) is one of the most adorable films ever made please seek medical attention
#RetroView #Polly

“Polly” (1989) is a musical re-imagining of the 1913 children’s novel “Pollyanna” (available for free here: https://archive.org/details/bwb_Y0-DRU-782) that was later turned into the popular 1960 film of the same name. While the 1960 film starred white British actress Hayley Mills, “Polly” (1989) stars Keshia Knight Pulliam (of Rudy Huxtable on “The Cosby Show” fame) and features a predominantly Black American cast
