Trivia:
Among the deletions from the script in this version were: - Four songs, including the original title song, "Annie" - A subplot involving Sandy, who goes missing in the original musical - The White House "Tomorrow" reprise, which was replaced by a scene involving Grace Farrell and Annie - The ending was subtly changed so that Miss Hannigan portrays Mrs. Mudge instead of Lily St. Regis. more
Goofs:
Continuity: The location of McGillicutty's Tavern moves. As the truck drives away with Annie in the laundry, it shows the tavern as being down the road to the right of the orphanage, whereas at the end of "Easy Street" when Rooster, Miss Hannigan and Lily dance down the road and into the tavern, it is to the left of the orphanage. more
Quotes:
Lily: Oliver Warbucks... the millionaire?
Miss Hannigan: No, the billionaire, you dumb hotel.

A great version!, 14 December 2004

I have to say, I am an avid Annie fan. I first saw the 1982 version, like most people and I loved it. I then saw the stage musical twice and loved that too. There were a lot of differences in the stories on the stage and on the film. Then I saw the 1999 version and I thought that it was great, about as great as the 1982 one but with better actors. I now have both film versions on video and I have seen both many times and I can honestly say that in my opinion the 1999 one is far better. The 1982 one is bigger, with more action and generally a larger production, but that is to be expected as the 1999 one was only a TV movie and with a much smaller budget. I like Alicia Morton a lot more as I think she is perfect for the part. Aileen Quinn was good for the spunky, tough side of Annie but she wasn't really very sweet and was not at all good vocally. One thing that has stood out for me with the 1999 version is the music and orchestration - I have never really noticed the quality of the music (not the vocals, the orchestra) in anything before this. Basically I love the 1999 version as I think it captures the story wonderfully. The 1982 version as also very good but they tailed off the original story too much and made too Hollywood-y for me, so I recommend the 1999 version overall.
