In New York City during the Great Depression, a plucky, red-haired girl named Annie (Aileen Quinn) is the voice of hope for her fellow orphans who live under the supervision of the strict and mean Miss Hannigan (comedy legend Carol Burnett). One day, the dingy orphanage is visited by the sophisticated Grace Farrell (Ann Reinking, All That Jazz), personal secretary to politician Oliver Warbucks (Albert Finney, Corpse Bride). In order to improve his public image, Grace brings Annie to the Warbucks estate for a weeklong visit. Annie quickly wins the hearts of servants and politicians alike, eventually even bringing her song of hope, “Tomorrow,” to President Roosevelt in Washington! A family favorite since its release over three decades ago, Annie is a Hollywood musical classic—a must-see on the Big Screen for kids and their parents!
