Effortlessly connecting with the audience is Burnett's greatest asset.....As she recounts that fateful moment she shares the debate they had on providing plants so as to setup funny moments....Burnett was bright, funny, totally in love with her audience as much as they are in love with her..... ...

This whole movie is a weak attempt at a kids movie that probably would serve better as a nightlight to help them sleep.
Worse still, this is not a musical, which was Annie 's biggest strength.

somehow I am able to say that I actually enjoy Annie.
A somewhat classic film (please don't ever remake this Hollywood) with enough fun to enjoy.
Warbucks takes a liking to Annie and decides she should stay with him for good.

Since ANNIE is a show that just about every little girl in the universe will be in at some time or another, it's fun to watch, to compare to other productions, and to sing along with.
The songs are a mixed bag -- "Dumb Dog" is just not all that good, but "It's the Hard Knock Life" is one you'll have stuck in your head for days, and by the time Annie sings "Tomorrow" to President Roosevelt, you'll be singing it along with her.
