Product Description:
Broadway musical based on the little orphan annie comic strip. A young orphan girls adventures in finding a family that will take her.Studio: Sony Pictures Home EntRelease Date: 08/23/2005Starring: Albert Finney Tim CurryRun time: 127 minutesRating: PgDirector: John Huston
Amazon.com:
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.

My grand daugher is very fond of this movie. She has watched it many times and plans to take it on her trip to the Cape in the summer.

I thought I already did this once, but....Got the movie about a week after I ordered it - phenomenal!!It was in very good condition - great service!!!
Rating: - Tons of Fun!
Annie has been a family favorite for years. The songs are catchy, and there's plenty of glitz and glamor to spare. It's definitely a wish-fulfillment movie -- so much fun to watch and wonder, "Oh, what if!" And what a positive movie, too.

Every single song is downright catchy. I often find myself humming them. And as ... Read More
