Summary: Great Singing, Great Casting, Great Acting, Great Movie!
Review: This is a great version of ANNIE especially for fans of the original musical. Alicia Morton is a good Annie. She was a great singer and actor. But, she just didn't have the spunk that Annie is supposed to have. Kathy Bates is o.k. as Ms.Hannigan. Her acting was a bit wanning, but her singing was incredible. Audra was a great Grace. She fit the role with the style and well...grace you would expect from her.(Also her singing was the best in the whole movie.) Victor Garber didn't quite get in as Warbucks that much. He was a good actor and singer, but he wasn't as believable as Albert finney in the first movie version. The rest of the cast was great. I liked that it is closer to the musical. But, it is a bit short. It is good, however, if you have kids who can't sit through long movies. All-in-all this is a nice version of the ANNIE story!

Summary: Dissappointing
Review: For a Disney movie this is a real dissapointment. It was tacky, and very superficial. Of course Annie has to have curly hair! That's what made the original Annie special and gave it its trademark. Disney had a good story to work with and the music is great but unfortunately they couldn't capture the things that made Carol Burnett's Annie so wonderful. Don't get me wrong my daughter loves this movie, but then she hasn't seen the original. If you want to buy Annie, buy the original.

Summary: Good...not great...good
Review: Who cares if her hair wasn't curly? Alicia Morton was terrific (besides, it was curly at the end). Aileen Quinn was cute too, but a little on the phony side. I am a DIE HARD Kathy Bates fan, but I don't think she quite beat Carol Burnett here. Here is my biggest beef: It did not show the relationship develop between Warbucks and Annie like the 1982 version did. He brushes her off, and the very next day wants to adopt her? I'm glad they took out all of the hanging-off-the-bridge stuff. They added more African-Americans to the cast which was great. It was neither better nor worse, just different!

Summary: A wonderful family movie.
Review: What incredible performances by all the actors in "Annie". I especially liked the performance of Victor Garber and Kathy Bates. Also it was nice seeing them together again, (the two were also in Titanic). I thought the subtle style of Victor Garber made this the most beautiful and touching version of "Annie" I have ever seen. My three year old and I watched it together and both of us enjoyed it equally. Now we sing the songs together and laugh. What a wonderful movie. I agree with most of the other reviews, this is a movie to see over and over again. It's a treasure.

Summary: A Better Annie!
Review: when I originally received this movie as a gift I thought it would be lame compared against the other Annie with Carol Burnett. We sat down to watch it and were impressed by being able to follow the story line much better. The children love the music (4 and 8 year old) and dance and sing with the movie. It truly is a comfort movie and one that is easy to watch - in the morning or right before bed.

Summary: Will Make You Love ANNIE!
Review: I saw this on this on t.v. and my daughter screamed that she wanted 'her Annie'. I bought it and told my family we'd watch Annie. They said, "No!" We watched it and they asked me to rewind it several times. Other family members also love it. They could watch it over and over, singing the songs by heart. They did an excellent job with this Annie!

Summary: If I could go lower than 1 Star I would
Review: This is the worst version of Annie I have ever seen. Not only do they make alterations with characters to "Disney-fy" them, but the voiced over soundtrack is horrible. Daddy War-Bucks looks like a fool with his head shaved and the moral issues they try to face are annoying. The wonderful variety of songs were replaced with merely Tomorrow repeated over and over again. The version from 1985 or so with Carol Burnnet and Albert Finney was sooooooo much better. If you are looking for a true version of Annie that is the one to buy. Not this silly, "creative" version that Disney turned out. The hype surrounding this version turned out to be just that--hype. Don't waste your money. They re-released the other version so you can buy it--better than ever.
