ive always thought the name was based off of the names of the 2 female protagonists of the first 2 games.but considering the song was around before earthbound and thus before paula it would be diverd from another source
Pollyanna was a children's book about a particularly optimistic little girl. Pollyanna is now a term used for someone who is unrealistically optimistic.
Pollyanna was a movie by Disney about an optimistic girl named Pollyanna and she makes every one in her town happy. That is why this called Pollyanna because it's about optimism.
What the hell does that have to do with the game!?! Ugh, have you even played the game!?! Just wondering seeing as you think that this is based off of a movie rather than the character that's in the game named ANA, as in PollyANNA!
First off I've played all 3 games like 50 times each AND I O NOT THINK THE SONG IS BASED OFF OF THE MOVIE JUST THE TITLE!!! SHEESH GET THAT THREW YOUR THICK SKULL! The song TITLE called Pollyanna because of the movie Pollyanna DUH! Pollyanna MEANS Blinded by optimism HENCE THE REASON THE SONG IS ABOUT HAPPINESS!DUH! THE TITLE OF THE SONG HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GAME, JUST THE LYRICS... POLLYANNA IS NOT IN THE MOTHER GAMES IT IS JUST THE FREAKIN TITLE TO THE SONG
Pollyanna isn't supposed to be anyone in the game... Have you ever listened to the lyrics? They say "You can call me Pollyanna, say I'm crazy as a loon" Why would she be telling someone to call her a name that isn't her's? It is talking about the Pollyanna from the movie, even though the games have nothing to do with her.
While you were the one giving me a thumbs down for each comment. Just because of that lie and giving me thumbs down, I've just rated down all your comments.
hmmm... because you giving me thumbs down definitely means it's a lie. if you look someone else (sort of) agreed with me too. Except they were talking about the book Pollyanna, but the movie was based off the book, and the title of this song was based off of either the book or the movie.
there is no one in the games named Pollyanna what i said is truth sheesh some people no-a-days are so ignorant. And sorry that i am coming off as rude, but you are being rude to me too by giving me thumbs down.
I already know her name is Ana, weren't you reading the comments? Also, for the comment that got rated down, if that's not how she feels about Ninten, then why does it only play when Ninten is alone?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No. It's supposed to be Ana. Plus, this song originated in Mother 1. Why the fuck would this song be based off of a movie? God, This is supposed to be Ana's thoughts about how she believes in Ninten.
Pollyanna was a 1913 children's book about a girl who found a way to glad in any situation. The song is based off the tradition of a "Pollyanna," a person who is optimistic about the future. The song is based off a colloquial expression which comes from a movie which is based on a book.
Thanks for setting this straight for people. It's funny, as a little kid, I loved the movie Pollyanna, and now, many years later, my favorite song of all time is based on that very same movie.

pollyanna is based off the book Pollyanna, NOT a movie.
if u listen to the lyrics and have read the book, they got the inspiration from Pollyanna herself and her quirky ways

one other thing if you guys noticed this... In EarthBound the girl's name is Paula, and in MOTHER the girl's name is Ana
PaulaAna sounds a bit like Pollyanna, but the song is based off of nobody in the games, it's just based off of a movie, and happiness
