  Closer to the stage musical
  
  Prefer this version as it is much closer to the stage musical. It is still great fun, so just enjoy!

  This is a winner for me! Much better than the original (except no one can beat Carol Burnett at Miss Hannigan) and much more accurate to the show!

  Classic story
  
  A classic story which still has the power to immerse you in the storyline. Good for all ages.

  Not as good as the original!!!
  
  Good, but not good enough!
  
  Great to sing along to and you have a couple of new songs to learn, but if you can, watch the original instead.

  Disney made for TV
  
  For those, like me, who love Annie on the stage and have seen it time and time again, but were disappointed with the film, this version may be preferable.read more »

  Not as good.......
  
  Not as good as the original, although the children like it. If I was honest and realized this was not the original I would not have rented it.
