** ''Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story'', the third Kevin Sullivan film, is derided as this by many fans of the book series. Unlike the first two films, which were fairly accurate to the series (for being films based on books), the third was an original film with an original script. Not only did it ignore any of the canon after "Anne of Windy Poplars," but it was set in World War I with Anne and Gilbert as newlyweds, moving the entire series forward nearly 30 years. The characters are out-of-character as a result. This continued on even further with ''Anne of Green Gables: A New Beginning'' which is set during [=WW2=] with Gilbert having died in action (which never occurred in the books, and is far too far on time-wise[[note]]To get an idea on how far, book Anne's ''kids'' would be middle-age adults by WWII[[/note]]) and then creating a backstory out of thin air for Anne's life prior to being sent to Green Gables at the start of the first book. It can make one wonder why Kevin Sullivan didn't just create further films around the remaining actual books in the series instead.
** For die-hard book fans, the Netflix series ''Series/AnneWithAnE'' can feel like this, with its wild deviation from canon, its DarkerAndEdgier tone and the ... ''off'' characterisation of many of the main characters (including Anne, who is less ThePollyanna and more of a manic BrokenBird).
* CantUnhearIt: Colleen Dewhurst as Marilla and Megan Fellows as Anne in the Kevin Sullivan films. They're the most remembered portrayals.

* ToughActToFollow: The Kevin Sullivan adaptations tend to be the definitive ones for fans (North American fans at any rate), and this is another reason why ''Series/AnneWithAnE'' met with such a divisive reception.
