I think any visual remake of Anne of Green Gables is meaningless in this day and age. The idea of red hair being considered unattractive is laughable, even if you know that's how it was at the time the story was written. Now it's just an easy way to have a "homely" main character who's anything but, in the audience's view. And it doesn't help that the new actress is otherwise very pretty all around.

The old actress was also very pretty. I don't think changed attitudes about red hair makes the remake meaningless. It's a period piece. People generally understand that in a non-contemporary setting, attitudes about many things were different than attitudes now. Fashions and hairstyles are different, settings look different, modes of transportation aren't the same as modern modes of transportation, etc. etc. It doesn't (and shouldn't) stop anyone from making new adaptations of say, Jane Austen novels, or historical events, or anything that isn't set in 2016. Your remark doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
