Annie

The acclaimed and infectious stage musical gets the big screen treatment. Annie is a red-haired mop-top orphan (Aileen Quinn), yearning to break out of her dreary life in an orphanage run by an iron-fisted, boozy matron Miss Hannigan. But the little auburn angel manages to charm billionaire Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks (Albert Finney) into adopting her--but what she really wants is to find her real parents. With characters based on the 'Little Orphan Annie' comic strip, this feel-good film has loads of singalong songs and dance routines. Academy Award Nominations for Best Art Direction/Set Decoration and Best Original Score.

- Misguided opening-out of a charming stage musical based on the comic strip which is basically a reversal of Oliver Twist. Some of the best numbers have been discarded, the dancing is ponderous, the acting distinctly uneasy, and the choice of direct

  Timeless classic...
  
  Yes I know the subject heading sounds like something of a cheesy advert selling Elvis collections but this film really is rather good!

Teen pop sensation Willow Smith wants Brad Pitt to play Daddy Warbucks opposite her Annie in a planned movie musical. The 10 year old confirmed reports she would be starring in the hip-hop version of the hit musical, which her parents will co-produce, last month (Jan11) - and now she's revealing her wish list of co-stars. And Pitt is at the top of the pile to play the role of her adoptive father, who was portrayed by Albert Finney on the big screen in 1982. Read more
