The Wonderful World of Disney: Annie (1999)
Bravo Disney!!
This film was wonderful. It had perfect casting in every role. Alicia is a wonderful Annie who has a beautiful voice and was a touching Annie, she seemed like a real little girl. Audra, Victor, Alan, Kathy, Andrea and Kristin were awesome. It was nice to see an Annie that made the characters real people instead of cartoon characters. The new orchestrations and movie version of Annie was refreshing, it was like watching it for the first time and listening to new songs. I noticed people comparing this film to the 1982 film version, thinking it was supposed to be a remake of that. This movie is based on the Broadway show which made it's debut in 1977, the characters like Punjab and the Asp do not exist in the stage production nor do songs like Dumb Dog, Sandy, I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here. Those changes were made strictly for the 1982 film. The new film is very true to the stage show, much more so than the original film which in my opinion was poorly done and cast. So I was thrilled when they announced the making of this film and especially with the finished product. Finally a good film version of the stage show. Can't wait until the video is released.
