The "Hard-Knock Life" Isn't Quite So Hard in 1999's "Annie"
I didn't grow up with "Annie." I know a lot of people my age did--my wife saw the original movie back in 1982 with a lot of you--I didn't see it until twenty years after it came out. My review of it is here: http://www.epinions.com/content_59081723524 and I still stand by what I said at the time,... Read full review »
I think I'm gonna like it...a little bit
The 1999 version of Annie was about what I expected it to be--smooth, sweet, and immersed in Disney tradition. While the movie runs smoothly, without a dull moment, the characters in this version lack most of the qualities that have made them so popular over the years. The movie has also been...

Tomorrow! Never! Tomorrow!
I got the 1999 version of Annie quite by mistake and I'm really sorry that mistake happened! This version is a complete disappointment to me. There was way too much sweetness and they took out anything that could possible be unsuitable for kids. Even my 3 year old likes the original better!

Much Better Film Version of a Classic Musical
Things were tough all over in the 1930's. That's especially true if you're an orphan. Just ask Annie (Alicia Morton). She lives in an orphanage in New York City run by the evil Miss Hannigan (Kathy Bates). Annie was left on the doorstep of the orphanage when she was a baby, and all she dreams of is...

Good, but I liked the 80's version better
I watched the "new" Annie, because as a little girl, I love the other one (with Carol Burnette, Tim Curry, and the 7-UP ah, ah, ah guy) soooo much. I was a bit disappointed when I watched the new one. I know it's supposed to be different. It was good, but I liked the 80's version better. If you... Read full review »
This Annie will lift your depression
Based on the stage play, which was based on the newspaper comic strip created in the 1930?s by Harold Gray, this movie provides a quick version of the story of Little Orphan Annie, and some wonderful musical numbers along with strong acting.
My wife and I are big fans of musicals on...

A shorter, better ANNIE
This is a better Annie than the 1982 John Huston film. It is much closer to the original stage play and a lot more fun.
The story is simple: gutsy orphan meets world's richest man. Will she find a home with him, be reunited with her parents, or fall victim to an evil plot?
The...

Annie [VHS]
Disney's 1999 TV production of the classic 1977 musical Annie is remarkable for its casting of stage actors rather than ratings trump cards. Tony winners Audra McDonald (Grace), Alan Cumming (Rooster), and Kristin Chenoweth (Lily) join four-time nominee Victor Garber (Daddy Warbucks) and Les Misérables veteran Alicia Morton (Annie) to tell the tale of the Depression-era orphan who gets a taste of the upper-crust life. Not surprisingly, they all turn in strong performances, and even Oscar-winner Kathy Bates acquits herself well in a singer's role, as the villainous Miss Hannigan. Perhaps best of all is the original title moppet, Andrea McArdle, making a sensational one-minute cameo as the Broadway Star-To-Be in "N.Y.C." Compared to John Huston's plodding, overly busy 1982 theatrical release, this production as directed by Rob Marshall (Cabaret, among other shows) is quite conservative; few numbers leave the confines of their sets, giving it the feel of a stage production. It is also more faithful as a whole to the Broadway original, though at a running time of 90 minutes it leaves out most of the historical context of the FDR administration as well as some of Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin's familiar songs, and makes a few plot changes, some of which work and some of which don't. Because of the omissions, this probably isn't a definitive film translation of Annie, but it's well paced for a young audience, and would be an excellent introduction to get children interested in live theater. Annie was produced by the team behind the 1993 telecast of Gypsy with Bette Midler, as well as 1997's Brandy-Whitney Houston Cinderella, and there are plans for many others. As Broadway shows are too often represented on video by inferior big-screen translations, this trend toward good, solid small-screen productions is most welcome. --David Horiuchi
