Annie is a 1999 American musical-comedy-drama television film from The Wonderful World of Disney , adapted from the 1977 Broadway musical of the same name by Charles Strouse, Martin Charnin, and Thomas Meehan, which in turn is based on the 1924 Little Orphan Annie comic strip by Harold Gray. It is the first remake and the second film adaptation of the musical following the 1982 theatrical film starring Aileen Quinn, Carol Burnett, and Albert Finney.

Contents

It was directed by Rob Marshall, written by Irene Mecchi, and produced by Walt Disney Television, Columbia TriStar Television, Storyline Entertainment, and Chris Montan Productions. Annie marks the first film collaboration between The Walt Disney Company and Columbia Pictures since Columbia distributed Disney's Silly Symphony film series as well as the Mickey Mouse cartoon series from 1929 to 1932. It stars Kathy Bates, Alan Cumming, Audra McDonald, Kristin Chenoweth, Victor Garber, Andrea McArdle, and introduces Alicia Morton as the titular character, Lalaine as Kate, Danielle Wilson as Duffy, Sarah Hyland as Molly, Erin Adams as Tessie, Nanea Miyata as July, and Marissa Rago as Pepper.

Annie premiered on ABC on November 7, 1999. The program, which was a rare partnership between Columbia TriStar Television and Walt Disney Television, proved to be popular during its initial airing, with an estimated 26.3 million viewers, making it the second-most-watched Disney film ever to air on ABC behind Cinderella (1997). This version earned two Emmy Awards and a George Foster Peabody Award. It would be followed by a third film adaptation of the musical in 2014 and a fourth adaptation that was a live NBC production of the musical.

Plot

In 1933, during the Great Depression, eleven-year-old Annie Bennett was left on her own at the NYC Municipal Orphanage Girls Annex when she was an infant. The only two things that she had from her biological family was half a heart-shaped locket with a key hole, as well as a note from her parents, which said that they would come back for her. The orphanage is run by the tyrannical Miss Hannigan, who starves the orphans, and forces them to do child labor in order to help them gain work experience until she ultimately releases them by giving them various jobs in New York City once they reach adulthood. In the middle of the night, after getting tired of waiting for her parents, Annie tries to escape to find them, but is caught by Miss Hannigan in the process. When Miss Hannigan gets distracted, Annie hides in the dirty laundry bin and she finally succeeds in running away.

While out on her own, Annie befriends a dog, whom she names Sandy. But police officer Lt. Ward catches her and returns her to the orphanage, where Miss Hannigan punishes Annie with extra chores. When billionaire Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks decides to take in an orphan for Christmas, his secretary Grace Farrell chooses Annie. Annie and Sandy are brought to his wealthy estate and bathe in a grand life.

Although at first uncomfortable with Annie, Daddy Warbucks is soon charmed by her. He desperately wants to adopt Annie, but Annie still wants to find her real parents, so he announces on the radio a $50,000 reward for anybody who can find or prove they are her parents. The orphans accidentally tell Miss Hannigan, causing her to hire her younger con artist brother Rooster, and his dimwitted girlfriend, Lily St. Regis, to get the reward for her by posing as Ralph and Shirley Mudge and pretend to get and to bring back Annie and Rooster wants Annie to be killed. [1]

Lily is left with the orphans after Miss Hannigan and Rooster leave, but Lily accidentally tells the secret. The orphans make her tell them what is going on, and she realizes that Rooster could leave her hanging as he has done before in the past. She and the orphans come to Warbucks' mansion where Lily demands her part in the cut while the orphans reveal the scheme. While fleeing from the orphans, Miss Hannigan and Rooster are intercepted upon the arrival of President Franklin D. Roosevelt along with his Secret Service. President Roosevelt reads the papers that identify Miss Hannigan, Rooster, and Lily leading to Rooster and Lily getting arrested. This enrages Miss Hannigan, who blames Annie for foiling her brother's plot. She is then carted off to a psychiatric hospital as the criminal mastermind behind Rooster's plot, causing her orphanage to ultimately go out of business.

President Roosevelt then presents the evidence to Annie that her real parents are actually David and Margaret Bennett, who have died when Annie was still a baby, which explains why they never returned for her. Although Annie is saddened that her parents are dead, she is cheered up with the knowledge that her parents did love her, while Daddy Warbucks officially adopts her. President Roosevelt ensures a happy ending for all as he promises that each of the other orphans will be adopted by a stable and happy family. Daddy Warbucks and Grace become engaged, and Annie lives happily with her new parents and Sandy.

Production

ABC began work on the film following the success of Cinderella . [2] Although the stage musical, Annie, had already been adapted as a film in 1982, the film was considered to be a critical and commercial failure. [3] Zadan and Meron saw remaking the musical as an opportunity to rectify the previous adaptation's errors. [3] They enlisted Cinderella's choreographer Rob Marshall to direct and made the orphans ethnically diverse. [3] Zadan and Meron were both so impressed by Marshall's work throughout Cinderella (saying he acted like a director) that they both asked Marshall to direct and choreograph. At first he turned it down, saying, "I'm not a director, I'm a choreographer. I don't know why you're even offering me this movie." Then Zadan and Meron asked if he ever thought about directing a movie, to which he then said, "No. I don't know anything about film." After long discussions, Marshall finally agreed to direct it, but Disney executives didn't want him. They said, "Annie is too valuable a property. We're not gonna give it to a guy who's never directed a movie." Yet, because Zadan and Meron both really believed in him, they told the executives for weeks that they wouldn't produce it. They knew that since Cinderella was so successful, the last thing Disney wanted to do was make another musical not produced by them. So they kept calling, saying, "Let's go over a list of directors," but Zadan and Meron kept saying, "no," because they really wanted Rob Marshall to do it. Disney eventually conceded and allowed him to direct and choreograph. [4] Filming began in June 1999 and took place entirely on location in Los Angeles. [5]

When it came to casting Lily St. Regis, the network wanted Ginger Spice to play the part. Yet, it was Rob Marshall who successfully fought for Kristin Chenoweth despite her mainly being a Broadway name at the time. [6]

McDonald recalled in a 2017 interview that there was a reshoot of the final scene that showed her character, a black woman, getting engaged to Daddy Warbucks; she suggested the reason for the reshoots was that Disney and ABC were "a little uncomfortable" having a black woman being engaged to a white man. [7] However, the other members of the cast and crew were not happy about having to do the reshoot, and Garber intentionally performed the scene badly so that it couldn't make it into the final cut. [7]

The dancers' costumes and the stage set of the Broadway section of "N.Y.C." are taken directly from the "Broadway Melody" ballet in Singin' in the Rain .

This was the second time Kathy Bates and Victor Garber starred alongside each other in a film. They had previously appeared in James Cameron's 1997 disaster epic film Titanic .

Release

Annie premiered as part of The Wonderful World of Disney on ABC on November 7, 1999. After its premiere on ABC, the film aired on cable channels such as ABC Family, Starz, and the Hallmark Channel.

Home media

Annie was released on VHS on December 14, 1999 and on DVD on January 24, 2000 by Buena Vista Home Entertainment. The film has not been released on Blu-ray but was available to stream on Disney+ for a limited time.

Reception

The program proved to be popular during its initial airing, with an estimated 26.3 million viewers, making it the second-most-watched Disney movie ever to air on ABC behind Cinderella (1997). [8] [9] This film was praised for its casting and for being closer to the stage production than the 1982 film. [10]
