Average Rating: Rating: - MUCH better than the disney version!! Sure, the 1982 movie doesn't compare to the stage version. Getting rid of the Christmas setting and replacing some great songs with the likes of "Dumb Dog" may not have been a great idea. BUT, Albert Finney shows wonderful character development (there's none with Warbucks in the Disney version). Annie is much spunkier (perhaps overacted, but any spunk is better than no spunk). Carol Burnett plays Miss Hannigan with comedic genius. I shudder to even compare her to Disney's "politically correct" Hannigan played by the slothful Kathy Bates. How can you go wrong with Tim Curry and Bernadette Peters, too. The choreography is athletic and spirited in this version. The disney version's choreography looked like a poor camp production. Yes, there are some mix-ups in the setting of the buildings in the background as well as some other things, but this is a very enjoyable musical which, thanks to its whitty script, score, and talent, succeeds on many levels. Perhaps the best way to describe this movie is: A MUSICAL THAT SUCCEEDS INCREDIBLY DESPITE ITSELF. Rating: - Original is always the best........ I don't know why so many people are criticizing this movie, but it proves to be nothing but amazing. The only person who could ever play Annie to perfection would be Aileen Quinn, she was made for the role and the way she performs in this movie just makes Annie come alive. Carol Burnett was so hilarious as the role of Miss Hannigan even my mother agrees that no one else could play the part more beautifully than her. As for Tim Curry as the role of Miss Hannigan's twisted brother Rooster couldn't have done it any better, he really knows how to be an evil character. As for Albert Finney as the role of Oliver Warbucks the selfish millionare well his acting is very believable and he does an amazing job. Finally Ann Reinking as Grace Farell did a beautiful job, her character was so sweet and endearing and just the way she played it was perfect. All in all the songs were just brought to life, the acting was believable, the sets were amazing, the costumes were perfect, this movie has it all. Rating: - Annie- Not just for kids When I first saw Annie at the tender age of 8, I was head over heels in love with it. As time wore on and I entered my preteens, I began to get annoyed with "Tomorrow" and sadly put the movie behind me. That is... Until recently. I watched it again with same enthusiasm as I did when I was 8. Only this time, I had a whole new appreciation for it. It truly is a classic... with broadway stars like Bernadette Peters, Tim Curry and Carol Burnette. This original Annie, played by Aileen Quinn, set the image for Annie. When one thinks of Annie, they think about the curly red hair orphan and distinct characters singing memorable tunes like "Tomorrow", "Little Girls" and "You're never fully dressed without a smile". Ask any kid in the USA to sing a song from Annie and they could. It is definately a classic.
