VHS Movie Reviews of Annie (1999) [VHS]

Movie Review: An American Classic!
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this for my 8 year old granddaughter because my husband's 8 year old granddaughter told us it was HER favorite movie! Well, MY granddaughter also loved it! I felt it was a good movie for her to see because it is a piece of American culture that she might not otherwise be exposed to since it's more likely to be shown as live theater and she lives in a small town that doesn't offer that type of entertainment often. I had read other reviews about THIS version vs. the version with Carol Bernett, and it is my understanding that this version doesn't portray the mistress of the orphanage quite as mean and nasty. I don't know if that's true. But I am delighted that my granddaughter loved this version.

Movie Review: If You Love The Original, Don't Get This!
Summary: 1 Stars

I was very disappointed in the Disney company trying to remake a classic story. I tried to watch this but it came no where close to being an o.k. version of the original. I didn't like the new Annie, new Mr. Warbucks, and esp. didn't like the new Miss Hannigan. Kathy Bates is a wonderful actress, but she's no Miss Hannigan. If you loved the original and don't like remakes of classic films, don't get this.

Movie Review: great gift for little girls

Summary of Annie (1999) [VHS]

Disney's 1999 TV production of the classic 1977 musical Annie is remarkable for its casting of stage actors rather than ratings trump cards. Tony winners Audra McDonald (Grace), Alan Cumming (Rooster), and Kristin Chenoweth (Lily) join four-time nominee Victor Garber (Daddy Warbucks) and Les Mis?rables veteran Alicia Morton (Annie) to tell the tale of the Depression-era orphan who gets a taste of the upper-crust life. Not surprisingly, they all turn in strong performances, and even Oscar-winner Kathy Bates acquits herself well in a singer's role, as the villainous Miss Hannigan. Perhaps best of all is the original title moppet, Andrea McArdle, making a sensational one-minute cameo as the Broadway Star-To-Be in "N.Y.C."

Compared to John Huston's plodding, overly busy 1982 theatrical release, this production as directed by Rob Marshall (Cabaret, among other shows) is quite conservative; few numbers leave the confines of their sets, giving it the feel of a stage production. It is also more faithful as a whole to the Broadway original, though at a running time of 90 minutes it leaves out most of the historical context of the FDR administration as well as some of Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin's familiar songs, and makes a few plot changes, some of which work and some of which don't. Because of the omissions, this probably isn't a definitive film translation of Annie, but it's well paced for a young audience, and would be an excellent introduction to get children interested in live theater. Annie was produced by the team behind the 1993 telecast of Gypsy with Bette Midler, as well as 1997's Brandy-Whitney Houston Cinderella, and there are plans for many others. As Broadway shows are too often represented on video by inferior big-screen translations, this trend toward good, solid small-screen productions is most welcome. --David Horiuchi
