In this TV version of the Broadway musical, classic comic strip character Annie (Alicia Morton) is rescued from the misery of Miss Hannigan's (Kathy Bates) orphanage by Grace Farrell (Audra McDonald), whose employer, curmudgeonly tycoon Oliver Warbucks (Victor Garber), has decided to take in an orphan for Christmas. The search for Annie's biological family begins in earnest when Warbucks decides to offer a cash prize to her parents -- if they will only reveal themselves and return to her.

The best that can be said is that, minus commercials, it's only an hour and a half. Go to Full Review Michael Scheinfeld Common Sense Media 01/02/2011
4/5
A tuneful, joyous musical for the family. Go to Full Review James Sanford Kalamazoo Gazette 01/01/2000
It's tough to ruin tunes like 'You're Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile,' 'I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here' and 'It's A Hard-Knock Life.' Under Marshall's direction, they become the showstoppers they should be. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

R R @YRudy 10/26/2024 For My kids this will be as it was my first introduction to Annie Although it has big shoes to fill from the Original film (sets,musical numbers,and carol brunette) and While the original 1987 soundtrack is still superior The 1999 adaptation is kinder It is more family/kid friendly And a good time See more will b @RT02156725 11/10/2020 honestly there's nothing really wrong with it except for one problem. Annie. She's a fucking bitch who sings about how her parents are coming back. There's a reason you're an orphan. They left you because you're a whiny, ginger, dumb, Mariah Carey sounding, bitch. i hope you never get adopted. fuck you. See more Ted W @RT84494621 09/08/2020 Bad Annie movie by Disney.
