Annie - 30th Anniversary Sing-Along Edition (Blu-ray + UV Copy) [1982]

My grandaughter loved this musical and sings along. An older version but with great acting creating larger than life characters. Good fun.

Good

This is a nice little family film with a feelgood vibe. The young orphan Annie (Aileen Quinn) manages to escape from her orphanage and brings cheer to the life of billionaire businessman Oliver Warbuck (Albert Finney). The rags to riches story isn't new, but it's nice to see a ballsy girl as the lead character. And thankfully one who wins over everybody's hearts with her personality rather than angelic good looks. Also rather fun is Mrs Hannigan (Carol Burnett), who runs the orphanage. Thankfully it's not an evil nun this time but an (equally evil) alcoholic slattern.As musicals go I didn't find any of the songs particularly memorable, but they're pleasant enough. The same goes for the singing performances. The choreography, on the other hand is rather excellent. The cast is solid, especially Carol Burnett who is hilariously OTT (and colourful in every sense of the word). Aileen Quinn is likable as Annie, Tim Curry is fun in a rather small supporting role and it's always nice to see Albert Finney (almost unrecognizable here with a clean shaven head). Not John Huston's best film, but if you're looking for a bit of light entertainment and escapism for a long Sunday afternoon you could do a lot worse than this.

Brilliant

On a cold winters night we had our grandchildren so settled down with popcorn and watched Annie. Everyone enjoyed it.

OMG I loved this film as a kid and now I am 24 I still love it and I don't think that will ever change.Annie is a well known story of a little orphan girl living in New York which is run by a drunk woman called Miss Hannigan. Annie has always dreamed that her true parents, would one day show up and claim her, and that they will have a big house and lots of money. However when Annie goes to stay with Oliver Warbucks a millionaire Miss Hannigan and her brother decide to pretend to be Annie's parents (Mr and Mrs Mudge) and kidnapp Annie for the reward money Mr Warbucks is offering to Annie's real parents. Annie has many adventures and encounters a number of colourful characters.This is an uplifting and heart-warming film which will delight everyone. If you have not seen it you are missing out on an amazing movie
