Annie

Pros: Excellent Cast, closer to the original Broadway musical story
Cons: Kathy Bates is no Carol Burnett's "Miss Hannigan"

Almost everyone knows the story of the little red headed orphan, Annie.

This movie was a well made remake of the original film version (which I saw when I was 3 years old).

Annie lives with other orphans in an orphanage for girls....

Pros: keeps you watching
Cons: none

I bought this movie because I had seen the original Annie movie years ago and I just loved it. So I thought that it would be neat to see the new one as well. This one was really good but still not as good as the first one was. There was a lot more...

Pros: I quess it would be ok for young children
Cons: annie wasn't meant to be a cute movie.

I have been reading peoples post about the new annie so I rented it.I was bored to tears. Bad acting.For all those on here saying how sweet the girl who plays the new annie looked. If the truth be told.The charter from the 80's movie is more ...

Pros: cute
Cons: not as good as the 80's version

I watched the "new" Annie, because as a little girl, I love the other one (with Carol Burnette, Tim Curry, and the 7-UP ah, ah, ah guy) soooo much. I was a bit disappointed when I watched the new one. I know it's supposed to be different. It...

Pros: Disney budget, well produced
Cons: characters don't compare well to original

I saw this movie because Disney normally puts out pretty decent entertainment. Since this is a remake of Annie with Carol Burnett I expected an even better movie. Wrong!!! The movie is O.K. at best. For those who didn't see the original this would be...

Pros: New, fun, and exciting.
Cons: Not as dramatic as the first.

The new Annie is a masterpiece waiting to be revealed. Due to the popularity of the first, many people don't see how good of a film it is. Sure, the first Annie was ahead of it is time and people enjoyed watching the little red-head sing and dance....

Pros: good children's movie
Cons: not as good as the first one

I remember watching the original Annie with my children years ago. I was so excited when the new one came out. The new movie was missing so much of what the first one was meant to project into peoples lives. The first movie was very heart warming...

Pros: Many of the same songs as the origonal.
Cons: Some songs from the origonal omitted.

The origonal movie "Annie" was my favorite movie growing up. It was a great rags-to-riches movie that was good family entertainment. The new 1999 "Annie" was just as good. It was different in many ways. It had many of the same...

Pros: New "Annie" actress is better than original
Cons: Kathy Bates vs. Carol Burnett as Miss Hannigan

There were a couple of great things about this new version of Annie...
1. The actress in the title role was very likable and has a beautiful voice (The Annie in the old version kind of grated on my nerves).
2. The movie had less...

Pros: Family oriented, Original
Cons: Sad and scary

I have seen this movie hundreds of times (all versions) and I could still watch it a hundred more. As soon as we had our first child I ran out and bought this movie and now own all the versions that are out. After watching Annie we walk around the...

Pros: Great music and story
Cons: none

Personally, I prefer the old Annie to this version, but something about it has my four year old daughter hopping! She absolutely loves this movie. No matter what version, Annie is a great family show. Musicals are great for small children. I think...

Pros: Better quality viewing for children
Cons: It's hard to replace the classics.

This was as good as you could get with any competition to the classic Annie. The characters sing the same songs, resemble the old characters and the story is basically the same.
I missed the major acrobats in the beginning and didn't too much...

Pros: Miss Hannigan was very good
Cons: The rest of the movie was bad

I saw this movie because I grew up with the Original Annie whiich I loved. I loved the songs and I loved little orphan Annie. I sat down and from the first minute I hated the movie. They rushed through the songs which made the first movie so great. I...

Pros: I did like that they used NYC in this movie good song.
Cons: See the Original and see the difference.

I am sorry to say but disney don't try and
remake a classic.The Original was so much
better.Disney cut out most of the good
parts of the movie and the ending was
just plain stupid.They tried to redo
the songs from the Original and sadly
changed I like I am gonna like it here
to a sort quick tune that didn't do
jutice to the Original.The frist annie
was made ten times better.
