Editorial Review:
WHEN DADDY WARBUCKS TAKES ANNIE & A COUPLE OF HER FRIENDS TORECEIVE HIS KNIGHTHOOD IN LONDON, A PRETENDER TO THE THRONE FINDS AN OPPOTUNITY TO SEIZE BUCKINGHAM PALACE BY KIDNAPPINGWARBUCK'S ENTOURAGE. CLEVER ANNIE, HOWEVER KEEPS THE VILLAINESS & HER GOONS OFF THEIR GAME WITH HER STREET-SMART SKILLS.
Description of Annie - A Royal Adventure:
The plucky, Great Depression-era orphan won the heart of new pop Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks in John Huston's 1982 Annie, and Annie: A Royal Adventure is a spirited, 1995 follow-up that finds father and daughter targeted by British scoundrels. When ultra-wealthy industrialist Warbucks (George Hearn) takes Annie (Ashley Johnson) and a couple of her friends to receive his knighthood in London, a pretender to the throne (Joan Collins) finds an opportunity to seize Buckingham Palace by kidnapping Warbucks's entourage. Clever Annie, however, keeps the villainess and her incompetent goons off their game with her old, street-smart skills. Young Johnson is never quite convincing as the resourceful, red-haired moppet, but Hearn and Collins are reliable and witty old hands who bring most of the fun to this project. The London settings look great, and there's an added bonus for Monty Python fans: Longtime Python foil Carol Cleveland plays mean Mrs. Hannigan, headmistress of Annie's former orphanage. --Tom Keogh
Annie - A Royal Adventure Reviews:
funny 
2009-03-08 - this was a funny movie. i thought it wasn't gonna be any good when i watched it the first time until i found out most of it was funny.
This is the best movie ever!!!
2009-03-06 - Anyone who could not like this movie are just naturally weird or stupid! Annie 2: A Royal Adventure is a heartwarming, adventerous, exciting family film, and in my opinion, is the best movie in the entire world! The original Annie was good, but I liked this one much better. The plot is exciting and fun, and the actors obviously are multi-talented. But I think the best is Emily Ann Lloyd who plays the role of Hannah, Annie's other friend. Emily is extremely talented and attractive; she was only 11 in the film! Ashley who is 12 was a great, lovable Annie, and Camilla who played little Molly who is 9 was cute and talented. I also enjoyed George Hearn as Warbucks, and of course Joan Collins as the evil lady Hogbottom. If you are also an Emily Ann Lloyd fan, look out for her, she is in Apollo 13, Kindergarten Cop, Home For The Holidays, Early Edition, and Miss Supreme Queen. Please buy this movie: you will enjoy it. I own it on both VHS and DVD. Suggestion: You would like it better on VHS. The sound has amazing quality and the picture is great.

We Loathe this Version 
2009-02-07 - My 4 year-old loves Annie. This was he worst! I recognized some of the actors but have no idea why they accepted such roles. If you want to be annoyed for a tad, I highly reccomend this flick. Annie - A Royal Adventure is a royal bomb!
I want Annie back!
2007-10-30 - This movie is supposed to be a sequel to Annie. I thought it was pitiful. The girl who plays Annie sounds like she was supposed to have a cold. The movie is rushed. There is only one song. The timing of that song is terrible. Warbucks gets knighted in the king of England's court. It seems as jsut a normal occasion, and there seems to be only about twenty people there! Once he gets knighted, Annie just randomly breask out into "Tomorrow, tomorrow!" That song is supposed to come in dramatic moments! Not random boring ones. This movie was terrible overall.
Extra Annie Story Made for Molly 
2007-09-28 - The sequel of Annie(1982) the motion picture based upon the long-running Broadway musical of the same title during late 70s became more like TV soap opera and has less element of musical the first of the Annie movie had. Yet the drama otherwise failed second attempt was saved by the new character Dr. Eon and Annie's little friend who was left behind Ms. Hanningan's house. Molly is cute and almost steals the show. And I am glad Camille Belle who played the part of Molly quite well has grown up well to play the lead part of WHEN A STRANGER CALL in 2006.
Verdict: Enjoyable but lack action like the predesessor.
Rating: 75 out of 100. Mixed bag but I like the character of Dr. Eon and Molly.
Recommended for: Camille Belle fans and Annie fans.
