This unecessary reboot is clearly meant to warm the cockles, but boring musical numbers and hammy performances simply leave the viewer with a sugar rush of nausea
There’s been an update to that well-known tune about Annie, the parentless little cutester melting the flinty heart of the scowling plutocrat billionaire looking after her. It’s based on – and basically mired in – the 1970s Broadway musical, which has already had two movie adaptations: the 1982 film directed by John Huston with Aileen Quinn as Annie and Albert Finney as Daddy Warbucks, and the 1999 version directed by Rob Marshall with Alicia Morton and Victor Garber.
This new one, on the other hand, is basically like a horrific mix of Lionel Bart’s Oliver, My Fair Lady and Pretty Woman. Did we really need another go-around for Annie, that indomitable little curly-haired moppet, who defiantly sings about how she’ll “love ya tomorrow...

From a poem to a play to a number of high-profile films, 'Annie' has been a very popular orphan.
From a poem to a play to a number of high-profile films, Annie has been a very popular orphan.
Columbia Pictures released a brand-new trailer for the upcoming musical comedy Annie, and in it we get a fun, lighthearted look at the world of orphans who are forced to be political pawns in order for a wealthy man to maintain his grasp on power and influence over the population. But, in a fun way, and also there's a lesson about love in there too.
However, this story goes back over 130 years through a long and complicated lineage of adaptation and interpretation in various forms of media. So let's take a look back at the history of Annie.
First it was a poem by James Whitcomp Riley called "Little Orphant Annie," written in 1885. Cartoonist...

Quvenzhané Wallis: From the Bathtub to "Easy Street"?
The young star of "Beasts of the Southern Wild" may soon be showing off her singing abilities as she's in talks to take on the title role in "Annie," according to Inside Movies.
"Annie" is based on the Broadway musical (which was based on Harold Gray's "Little Orphan Annie" comic strip) about a lovable orphan who finds herself out from under the thumb of mean ol' Miss Hannigan and into the home and later the heart of gruff billionaire Daddy Warbucks. The Depression-set show features such classic songs as "Easy Street," "You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile," "Maybe," "Hard Knock Life," "N.Y.C." and, of course, "Tomorrow."
The musical was previously adapted for film in 1982, featuring Aileen Quinn, Albert Finney, Carol Burnett, Ann Reinking, Tim Curry and Bernadette Peters, and as a TV movie in 1999, featuring Alicia Morton,...

New York -- Broadway's newest Annie is an 11-year-old from Los Angeles with long, black curly hair who is already a Broadway veteran.
Lilla Crawford was unveiled Friday as the girl slated to play the title role in a fall revival of the Tony Award-winning musical "Annie."
"I'm not nervous, but I am definitely so excited to start the whole process," Crawford said in an interview. "It's going to be so fun."
Crawford, who has performed in more than a dozen shows with the Youth Academy of Dramatic Arts in her native Los Angeles, made her Broadway debut in 2011 playing Debbie in the closing cast of "Billy Elliot." That experience will help as she adjusts to the star's dressing room.
"I kind of know what's coming but it's going to be exciting and new because I'm going to be part of the original cast," she said. "It's definitely going to be exciting.
