"Polly" (1989) is a made-for-television musical that aired on NBC's "Magical World of Disney." Disney adapted the movie from the 1913 novel by Eleanor H. Porter, "Pollyanna," which Disney originally made a version of the novel in 1960 under the same title.-A thread @DisneyPlus 
The 1989 version comprises a majority black cast, and Debbie Allen is responsible for the film's direction. Due to the immense popularity of "The Cosby Show" during the mid to late 80s, the actors saw remarkable success in roles outside of their norm.
Keshia Knight Pulliam and Phylicia Rashad led an excellent cast of actors in one of the most underrated musicals.
This film isn't just any type of musical. It's brilliantly performed and well-made.
