Editorial Review:
The story of a plucky red-haired orphan girl who dreams of a life outside her dingy orphanage.
Genre: Feature Film Family
Rating: PG
Release Date: 2-AUG-2005
Media Type: DVD
Description of Annie (Special Anniversary Edition):
Charmless and dull, this adaptation of the Broadway hit stars Aileen Quinn as the depression-era moppet, Albert Finney as Daddy Warbucks, Carol Burnett as the cruel headmistress at an orphanage, and Tim Curry as a villain. The film never gets its legs, and there is no sense of setting; it's almost as if the whole thing is happening in a void. John Huston nominally directed--no doubt to make money between his smaller, cheaper masterpieces--but one would have thought he would invest something of himself in here. --Tom Keogh
Annie (Special Anniversary Edition) Reviews:
OH NO..... ANNIE 
2009-12-17 - When my daughter was growing up I saw Annie on a regular basis... I have this on VHS.. when my Grandgirls came over ages 2 and 4, I needed a movie to put in for them.. They saw the VHS and asked what that was, they never saw one...they only saw CD's. They loved the movie and want to come over all the time to watch it. I bought this for Christmas for them, they didn't get it yet, I am excited to have them have their own. Now I can go another generation of Annie. I hear that song over and over.... tomorrow, tomorrow!! lol very cute
annie dvd 
2009-12-15 - i bought it for 9 and 4 years old girls. 9years old loved it,4years old was confused on some parts in the movie..both watched it at least 10 times in a first two weeks. they learned all the songs from the movie. came quick by mail. very happy with amzon service,price and free shipping.
Great for the whole family
2009-12-09 - This was a favorite at our house many years ago, so I purchased a copy for my grandchild too. She loves it! On days when a 2 year old can become a handful starting this dvd sends her to a whole different world. The kids, the music, the dog, who could ask for more to keep children of all ages occupied and impressed. Well worth every dime, a real family favorite for us.
Rubbish 
2009-11-07 - A textbook example of how to ruin a successfull stage musical by translating it to the screen. Pad out the plot to inordinate length, replace some of the best songs with third rate ones, add all sorts of unnecessary embellishments to the plot, etc. Pass on this, and go for the 1999 Disney version, which is far superior.
Great Movie - Great interview with "Annie"
2009-10-24 - I've always loved this movie. The anniversary edition is great with a super presentation by the lady that played the part of Annie.
Carol Burnett and Annie steal the show but the entire cast is great.
You'll love it too!
