 This is the proper version!! November 15, 2008
After reading other reviews slating this film for a less exciting ending and having missing songs.... please read up on the history of this musical. It is a stage production and this Disney version stays very true to the stage musical and score. There are still omissions, in particular the Herbert Hoover song by the homeless people and also the Tomorrow song in the White House. But in the main it is a much more realistic adaptation than the Aileen Quinn 1981 film which just changed huge chunks and added songs (like the hideous Let's Go to the Movies sequence instead of the much more captivating NYC). How anyone can prefer the 1981 version is beyond me, the characters of Annie, Grace and Warbucks are so much more likeable in this one and Kathy Bates is believable as Miss Hannigan (although I do feel that Carol Burnett's MH was the saving grace of the 1981 film). Where Grace sings Tomorrow to Annie to comfort her after her "parents" have turned up for her is extremely touching and it is easy to engage with the characters. Definitely give this movie a try, it is lovely.
ANNIE!! June 12, 2004

I LOVED THIS MUSICAL, EVEN THOUGH IT'S A RE-MAKE. YOUR KIDS WILL LOVE THIS FILM! ALICIA MORTON IS BRILLIANT AS ANNIE AND KATHY BATES IS GREAT TOO. WHAT MADE THIS FILM FOR ME ARE THE BEAUTIFUL SONGS, MY FAVOURITE HAS TO BE 'MAYBE'. BUY THIS FILM BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH IT'S A REMAKE IT'S WORTH EVRY PENNY.
 Not as good as I thought it would be February 19, 2004

This film isn't aas a good as I expected, i prefer the older version, it's really not all that. It's good but teh way they made thsi film (newer version) has spoilt the hole story line. if your expecting a fantastic film, I suggest you don't buy this film, you'll be dissapointed. If you still want to see annie why not get the older version or go and watch it at the theater.
Much More Like The Show September 24, 2003

For anyone who's been in or seen the stage version of this show you'll really appreciate this production. Directed by Rob Marshall (also responsible for Chicago) it is a much better representation of the original show than the 1981 film. Songs like "Something was missing" and "NYC" have been included plus the song "Tomorrow" has been put back in the right place which makes much more sense. There is also a special guest appearance from Andrea McArdle who played the original Annie on Broadway. Speaking of the lead, the girl who plays it is very impressive as is alot of the choreography. Yeah, it gets a bit Disney at times and has a rather strange ending, but after all it is a kids film and my 6 year old cousin was gripped, amused and walking around for a week saying "i love you miss hannigan".brOverall i prefer it to the original as it captures the sense of the show much better and cuts out alot of the Hollywood rubbish.
Hmmmmm! September 3, 2002

This version is nowhere near as good as the 1981 version, I think. Miss. HAnnigan is not as evil and mean as she's supposed to be, and having Miss Hannigan pretending to be Annie's mother instead of Lily St Regis is very strange. Some of it is just farcial, but the film is OK for those who haven't seen the 1981 version, but I would advise they saw that too.
