In reality, Pollyanna could see the bad in a situation, but always chose to emphasize the good. She could see solutions to seemingly unsovlvable problems precisely because of this rare quality. > All the same, "Pollyanna" was an imaginary character potrayed in a Walt Disney movie. Walt Disney's appreciation of reality could be considered somewhat questionable. I liked the movie myself, but it seemed somewhat beyond the norms of actual experience to many who were trained this was what to expect out of everyday life.
