Warning: Spoilers
Annie came out in 1999 and features Victor Garber, Audra McDonald,Kirsten Chenoweth, Kathy Bates and Alan Cummings. Directed by Rob Marshall (Mary Poppins Returns and Into The Woods),this remake is a shot for shot(almost) of the 80s Annie and it tells the story of a young girl named Annie who lives at the orphanage that the cruel Miss Hannigan(Bates) owns. But when a kind hearted millionaire named Oliver Warbucks(Garber) is looking for an orphan to mind over the Christmas season,Annie gets the opportunity to go and stay with Mr Warbucks. However Miss Hannigan uses her scheming younger brother Rooster(Alan Cummings) and his girlfriend (Chenoworth) to pose as Annie's parents to get money. Will Annie escape the orphanage and find a family?.

Also starring a very young Sarah Hyland and Lalaine(Lizzie Maguire fame) this adaptation of Annie was good. The music is memorable from Tomorrow,Its A Hard Knock Life,I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here etc.
