The plot of the 2000 film bears little resemblance to the storylines of any of the 'Anne' source books because of legal disputes active at the time between Kevin Sullivan and the heirs of Lucy Maud Montgomery. Ultimately, Canadian courts agreed with the heirs that Sullivan had withheld contractually-promised profits from the heirs for the first two films in the series; the courts then also found Sullivan's $55-million suit for defamation against the heirs to be groundless.
