Anne of Green Gables (1985) - Anyone else notice the dreamy visuals and audio?

Okay, so I just re-watched Anne of Green Gables (the 1985 one, obvs!) and I'm still struck by how incredibly lush it is. I'm a total sucker for period pieces, but this one just hits differently. I know its a classic, but I feel like people rarely talk about how much the visuals contribute to the atmosphere. Specifically, did anyone else notice the way they used light during the Avonlea scenes? Everything has this soft, golden glow, especially when Anne is wandering around "naming" things. It's almost dreamlike. And the sound design! The birds chirping, the wind rustling through the trees... whoever did sound mixing on that thing deserves an award. I was wondering if the audio and film quality was cleaned up in recent years? The quality is remarkable. I'm also curious about the scene where Anne first arrives at Green Gables and imagines all sorts of things. Did they do something special with the camera lenses to get that slightly distorted, fantastical feel? It's subtle, but it really helps sell her vivid imagination. I'd love to know more about the behind-the-scenes technical choices they made. Anyone have any insights or behind-the-scenes info? Or am I just reading too much into it, lol.
