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. moreGoofs:
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. moreQuotes:
Kate: Miss Hannigan, may we please have our breakfast now?Miss Hannigan: No. You may have it later.

(No, I'm not a Disney shill. This is being pre-empted by football in my area tonight so it was shown in the afternoon.)
For those who looked in vain to find the broken bones of the Broadway hit beneath the elephantine bulk of the movie version, the search is over. While there are some minor differences, this TV "Annie" is the real deal.
It's not only brimming over with wonderful songs and superb choreography, this movie is front-loaded with bona fide Broadway musical chops -- Rooster, Lily, Warbucks, and Annie. Kathy Bates is the surprise knockout of the production (doing her own singing -- who knew?). And Audra MacDonald is sweetly appealing as Grace. There's not a dog in the bunch.
Oops! I mis-spoke. Sandy also does a winning turn.
This "Annie" is bound to become an annual treat. One viewing will have you wanting to adopt this orphan and make her your own.
