It might not be the version of 'Annie' that everyone knows potentially, or indeed loves, but I thought it was a conscise and effective offering from Disney.
It's quick, it covers the big numbers we all know and love with aplomb, and all the roles are well cast.
It's a TV film version that doesn't look like it was made in a hurry or on the cheap, and Alicia Morton is perfectly lovely in the central role. Not over the top or flashy, in fact she's very genuine.
All in all I'd recommend people check this version out, if only to compare and contrast how the numbers are produced/sound and to compare performances.
At 83 mins, this flew by.
