Full-screen?!
This DVD of "Annie" is the full-screen version, wherein 40% of the picture has been chopped off the sides. It is virtually unwatchable, and Sony should be ashamed for releasing a widescreen/scope film in this way.
Sony has previously released the widescreen version of the film on DVD, but without the special features or DTS sound, so it might be best to wait for a future release that presents the film properly and has the bonus features. Or wait for the inevitable Blu-ray release which should be really nice.

A Classic from My Childhood!
Annie was one of my favorite musicals when I was little, and I was thrilled to purchase this DVD for my own daughters. We've watched it twice this week, and it's sure to be a family favorite. The cast is wonderful and the extra features are fun. I'd forgotten about the sexual undertones of Ms Hannigan, so I had a bit of explaining to do to my kids but overall it was a fantastic purchase.

Just as good as......
It's just as good as when I first saw it when it came out. And my girls love it now. An great classic, and Carol Burnette is perfect in it!

Not any better this time
I was so dissapointed in this film when it was released, as were many fans of the stage show. The casting was perfect but the re-written plot and overdone direction helped to prove that musicals could not be made well anymore, thank god now for Chicago and Sweeney Todd! The Disney TV version was so much betterm it really captured the feel of the original stage play.

I love Annie
A FILM THAT MAKES YOU SMILE, CRY AND CHEER. STORY DRIVEN MUSIC AND A BOOK THAT STANDS ON ITS OWN MERIT. A COMBO OF OUTSTANDING TALENT AND MUSIC MAKES FOR A DELIGHTFUL VIEWING. DON'T MISS IT!!!!!

Loved it as a youngster.....but watch out!!!
Loved, loved, loved this movie when it was first released in the early 80's, which is precisely why I purchased it, along with the soundtrack for my 3yo. She loves it, too, and at this stage in her life is totally oblivious to the druken/sexual Miss Hannagin (now that I think of it, I was too, even at 13). Why, oh why did they feel the need to have actors screaming GD several times at the end?? This makes me sick they had to cheapen a precious musical with very talented actors. Otherwise it is a classic in my book. Oh, and I agree with others...much peripherial action is sadly lost due to the fullscreen rather than widescreen format.

Comes to a screeching halt
The main characters go to Radio Music City Hall and a nice production number is shown and then POW! the movie stops dead as we watch the death of Camille on the silver screen. The movie never recovers from that long, boring segment of no music, humor or fun.
