Lantern Hill is a 1989 Canadian drama television film written and directed by filmmaker Kevin Sullivan[1] and based L.M. Montgomery's novel Jane of Lantern Hill.[2] The film was co-produced by Sullivan Entertainment,[3] the Disney Channel and CBC Television.[4]
For the production of the film, Lantern Hill was filmed using the same house used for Sullivan's earlier production, Anne of Green Gables, though painted orange. Many of the actors and actresses from Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Green Gables: The Sequel, and Road to Avonlea made appearances in this film. At least one DVD release (illustrated at right) appended Anne of Green Gables to the title of the film; however, other than being also based upon a Lucy Maud Montgomery novel and sharing some cast members from Sullivan's earlier production, plus also being set on Prince Edward Island, Lantern Hill has no connection to Anne of Green Gables.
