=== Films===
The first filmed appearance of Anne Shirley was in the 1919 silent film, [[Anne of Green Gables (1919 film)|''Anne of Green Gables'']], in which the role was played by [[Mary Miles Minter]]. The film was directed by [[William Desmond Taylor]]. As of 2011, no prints of this silent film adaptation are known to survive. The 1919 film version moved the story from Prince Edward Island to New England, which one American critic—unaware that the novel was set in Canada—praised for "the genuine New England atmosphere called for by the story".<ref name="Hammill-666">Hammill, Faye "'A new and exceedingly brilliant star': L. M. Montgomery, ''Anne of Green Gables'', and Mary Miles Minter" pages 652-670 from ''The Modern Language Review'', Volume 101, Issue # 3, July 2006 page 666.</ref> Montgomery herself was infuriated with the film for changing Anne from a Canadian to an American, writing in her diary:

<blockquote>It was a pretty little play well photographed, but I think if I hadn't already known it was from my book, that I would never had recognized it. The landscape and folks were 'New England', never P.E Island...A skunk and an American flag were introduced - both equally unknown in PE Island. I could have shrieked with rage over the latter. Such crass, blatant Yankeeism!.<ref name="Hammill-666"/></blockquote>

Montgomery disapproved of Minter's performance, writing she had portrayed "a sweet, sugary heroine utterly unlike my gingerly Anne", and complained about a scene where Shirley waved about a shotgun as something as her Anne would never do.<ref name="Hammill-667">Hammill, Faye "'A new and exceedingly brilliant star': L. M. Montgomery, ''Anne of Green Gables'', and Mary Miles Minter" pages 652-670 from ''The Modern Language Review'', Volume 101, Issue # 3, July 2006 page 667.</ref>

In the [[Anne of Green Gables (1934 film)|1934 adaptation]] of the novel, Anne was portrayed by [[Anne Shirley (actress)|Dawn O'Day]], who legally changed her name to "Anne Shirley." She reprised the role in ''Anne of Windy Poplars'', a 1940 film adaptation. Montgomery liked the 1934 film more than the 1919 film, not least because now the book's dialogue could be portrayed on the silver screen and that two scenes were filmed on location in Prince Edward Island (though the rest of the film was shot in California), but still charged that neither the 1919 nor 1934 versions of ''Anne of Green Gables'' quite got her book right.<ref name="Hammill-668">Hammill, Faye "'A new and exceedingly brilliant star': L. M. Montgomery, ''Anne of Green Gables'', and Mary Miles Minter" pages 652-670 from ''The Modern Language Review'', Volume 101, Issue # 3, July 2006 page 668.</ref> Writing about the 1934 version of ''Anne of Green Gables'', Montgomery wrote in her diary that it was a "thousand times" better than the 1919 version, but still it: "was so entirely different from ''my'' vision of the scenes and the people that it did not seem like ''my'' book at all".<ref  name="Hammill-667" /> The British scholar [[Faye Hammill]] wrote that 1934 film version stripped Anne of the "Canadian and feminist" aspects that the Anne of the books possessed, stating that there was something about Anne that Hollywood cannot get right.<ref name="Hammill-668" /> Hammill observed that the idea that Anne was entirely cheerful is a product of the film and television versions as the Anne of the books has to deal with loss, rejection, cruel authority figures, and loneliness.<ref name="Hammill-668" />
