I always wanted a spin-off musical about the adventures of Pepper.
yes pepper is the best

I love the angry-man antics of Daddy Warbucks. There is a disturbingly large amount of panty-shots in this musical, though. Especially since half of them are of like 9 year old girls. o.0

First time I went to the movies after seeing "Annie" I was most angry that it was NOTHING LIKE in Annie! (NB I wouldve been about 5)

Annie is 100% why I watch the Macys Thanksgiving Parade: i just want to see the Rockettes. That let's go to the movies Annie scene is one of my favorites. If I saw the Rockettes at Radio City irl I would probably bawl my eyes out

Also there were SO many things I didnt get in the movie as a kid that dawned on me later: like Miss Hannigan's bathtub gin. I never got why she was drinking her bathwater, lol

Carol Burnett rules this movie. And Tim Curry. And Ann Reinking. Ok fuck it, I love this movie.
Abbott's right, though -- the "spunky little redhead" is the least of the movie's pleasures.

I like that when I saw it again recently (in the past couple years, I guess) I got all the jokes about Warbucks being a gilded-age capitalist in the middle of a depression. Like when a communist sneaks on to the balcony with one one of those round black bombs with a fuse that only exist in comic books.

It's called "Life After Tomorrow"...they were airing it on A&E a while ago. Really worth finding, I enjoyed it.

I liked him describing the "izzo/izzay" type of suffixes as "a kind of pig latin." I'd never thought that, but... yeah, that's about right.

1. Carol Burnett should've been nominated for and maybe won an Oscar for her pratfalls in "Easy Street" alone.2. It was because of this movie that I used to, as a 6 year old, use the term "Bolshevik" as an insult.

This was always on HBO or something when we first got cable but I'm still not sure if I ever actually saw it all the way through in one sitting, it was like I caught bits of it here and there each time. Carol Burnett ruled.

Downloaded a rip of the soundtrack to add "Maybe" to my karaoke playlist. The banter at the beginning of "Sign" is pretty hilarious without the visuals.
Burnett: "My GOD, is that thing real?!"

And I'm forced to ask about yet another remake: why not just make it its own thing if you're going to alter the source material to such an extent that you're likely to turn off anyone who might've been enticed by another filmed iteration of that particular story/property?

Am guessing this version would never have happened without the Jay-Z "Hard Knock Life" breathing alleged life into the property.
