Annie (Rmst Clam) Reviews

• Leapin' lizards!

  
  By A9BZ3SB5DO61G on 2005-01-06
  Well, I think this is a really swell movie. Albert Finney and Carol Burnett crack me up, Aileen Quinn is exactly what Annie should be, and Sandy is perfect.
  
  But WHY OH WHY is this not being offered in a widescreen format? I have yet to see all of "It's a Hard Knock Life" and I know those girls are knocking themselves out offscreen. I've seen this movie on three different media. All were pan and scan, and all three showed different parts of the picture! The worst was a VHS release. (...)
  
  I don't know which is more frustrating about this anniversary dvd, the fact that it doesn't offer widescreen, or the fact that the dvd menu and the special features show the movie clips in widescreen, teasing me with those brief glimpses.
  
  There is no reason that dvd manufacturers shouldn't at least OFFER a widescreen version. Let's get with the 21st century already!
  
  

• Best version because of the great cast

  
  By AF7JCEOIGIS4N on 2004-09-27
  You cannot beat the cast in this movie. It has some of the greats, like Carol Burnett, Bernadette Peters and Tim Curry. That is part of the reason why the Disney version could never compare to this one. Also, Aileen Quinn makes such a great Annie. She really looks spunky. She can look really sweet, but also tomboyish. She can look threatening, like all the times she raises her fists. The girl in the Disney "Annie" looks too sweet. She isn't as convincing when she tries to fight. If you want to watch Annie, this is the version to get.
  
  

• MUCH better than the disney version!!

  
  By A1X76C04J9H3GO on 2002-05-29
  Sure, the 1982 movie doesn't compare to the stage version. Getting rid of the Christmas setting and replacing some great songs with the likes of "Dumb Dog" may not have been a great idea.

  BUT, Albert Finney shows wonderful character development (there's none with Warbucks in the Disney version). Annie is much spunkier (perhaps overacted, but any spunk is better than no spunk). Carol Burnett plays Miss Hannigan with comedic genius. I shudder to even compare her to Disney's "politically correct" Hannigan played by the slothful Kathy Bates. How can you go wrong with Tim Curry and Bernadette Peters, too.

  The choreography is athletic and spirited in this version. The disney version's choreography looked like a poor camp production.

  Yes, there are some mix-ups in the setting of the buildings in the background as well as some other things, but this is a very enjoyable musical which, thanks to its whitty script, score, and talent, succeeds on many levels.

  Perhaps the best way to describe this movie is:

  A MUSICAL THAT SUCCEEDS INCREDIBLY DESPITE ITSELF.
  
  

• Schmaltzy but super

  
  By A744QP0BNPO5K on 2002-04-07
  Easily the best version of Annie out there (and yes, I saw the play with Martha Raye as Miss Hannigan). This 1982 gem is a classic big-budget movie musical, with all the exuberance that the genre implies. How can you help but smile at the thought of fifty orphans simultaneously breaking out into dance numbers?
  
  Ten-year-old Aileen Quinn sings her heart out to the catchy tunes and will have you singing too, despite yourself. Albert Finney is a walking caricature as billionaire capitalist Daddy Warbucks, who learns that there is more to life than money. Anne Reinking puts in a good showing as his assistant, and you'll recognize others such as Bernadette Peters. But Carol Burnett steals the show as the drunken orphanage proprieter who hates little girls but goes ga-ga over any male, from the local cop to Mr. Bundles the Laundry Man. (This is rated PG rather than G for a reason!)
  
  Very young kids may be frightened by a chase sequence in which the bad guys try to kidnap Annie, but there's plenty here to entertain both children and adults. As a child, I watched it a hundred times without catching allusions to the New Deal, the Bolsheviks, and bathtub gin.
  
  Do not let your kids grow up acquainted only with Disney's dull 1999 remake of Annie! The 1982 movie is twice as exuberant, larger than life, and makes for much better entertainment.
  
  

• NO WIDSCREEN!!!!!!!!!

  
  By A27OC3MIT1X4UL on 2004-04-10
  Really small on the back cover you'll find your purchased an all new anniversary FULL SCREEN version of this movie. Only released this way apparently. Wasn't until I popped it in that I found this out. If I could return it I would and go buy the original release which apparently has both full and wide.
  
  
• FULL SCREEN ONLY DVD MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE!
  By A1M9DQDGE07Q0U on 2003-12-22
  "Annie" is the original movie based on the highly successful Broadway musical, based on the highly popular comic strip character - little orphan Annie. I'm going to refrain from reiterating the story herein, because I have already reviewed the previously issued DVD. Herein, I am taking the opportunity to lambast Columbia Home Video.
  TRANSFER: IT'S NOT WIDESCREEN. Enough said! You can't squeeze a 2:35:1 aspect ratio image into a 1:33:1 t.v. screen so you get what film buffs, such as myself, have been screaming about for years - a chopped up version of the movie (affectionately known as pan and scan)that in no way captures either the scope of the image or the director's original intent. This short coming alone leads me to fail this DVD on all accounts. That the cropped image is quite often blurry, at times hopelessly out of focus, and truly a weak transfer for its color balancing, contrast and black levels, is inexcusable. I'd really like to know why Columbia decided to re-release this movie on DVD. Certainly, no updates to the image quality have been made and worse still - the film is missing 50% of its picture. Misguided doesn't even begin to sum up Columbia's blunders on this disc. Also, the audio remains the same strident mix as before. No audio clean up or noise reduction leads to dialogue sounding way too forward and unnatural, while the songs screech, rather than sing, across your speakers.
  EXTRAS: Some, but not enough to make you forget that "Annie" is just about the most miserable looking DVD experience you've seen in a long while.
  BOTTOM LINE: To Columbia executives: get a clue! Get a 'really big' clue. To the consumer - save your money!
  
  
• Terrible disappointment!
  By A2JYWMG3L70QH1 on 1999-11-28
  Having seen the original Broadway stage production with Andrea MacArdle back in 1978,this movie version directed by John Huston is a MAJOR disappointment. The movie version should have been a wonderful expansion of the stage original, but this was not to be. Bordering on disaster, the movie ANNIE has little to recommend it. A former review posted here by Carolyn says it all. The movie replaced great songs from the stage original(NYC,etc) with horrible new ones (DUMB DOG, WE GOT ANNIE, LETS GO TO THE MOVIES,etc). There is nothing in this film that evokes the 1930s Great Depression era the movie takes place in (where is the HOOVERVILLE sequence). The movie in loaded with errors in regard to time and place. For example, if Warbucks' 5th Ave Mansion is as expansive as shown in the movie, it would have to located in Central Park; the movie Annie attends is CAMILLE which never played at Radio City Music Hall and premiered in 1937 (not 1933 when the movie takes place, in fact RC Music Hall opened in late 1932); in the stage version the chracters attend a performance at the ROXY Theatre which is as it should be; the New York in the movie ANNIE is a mixture of unconvincing Hollywood sets and poor location shots which have a 1970s look and feel(why so many modern buildings in the background). Annie as performed by Aileen Quinn is a pint size Ethel Merman who looks strong enough to take on an army, she exhibits little heart and comes across as a phony. Most of the other cast members are wasted or under perform thier roles. Which brings me to the awful finale as presented in the move; the stage version ends at Christmas while the movie becomes a summer circus; Miss Hannigan is carried off to jail in the original while in the movie she is seen drunkinly riding a circus elephant. What were producer Ray Stark and John Huston trying to do? It baffles me to this day. Watch the ABC Disney version of ANNIE it is not as good as the stage original but much better than this awful movie version.
  
  
• ICK! Utter trash! I gave it 1 star!
  By A2D7LCEP65YVB2 on 1999-11-14
  What an AWFUL movie adaptation of such a fun, charming musical! The film is so syrupy, it oozes along at 2 mph. I loved the original musical & have the Broadway cast cd, I saw it on a 1979 National Tour, and in a 1987 DC-area production, I played Cecille the maid, a "lovely Boylan sister" and Frances Perkins in The White House. So I'm very familiar with the original musical.

  First big mistake: John Huston as director. BAD CHOICE. A lot of good songs like "We'd Like to Thank You, Herbert Hoover," "Annie" & "NYC" were cut, and their replacements like "Sign," "Let's Go To The Movies" & "Dumb Dog" are much worse! This musical is supposed to be set in December 1933. It's The Depression folks. So why set it in a movie set that screams sunny, small-town California! The 5000 or so orphans that climb out of the woodwork of the orphanage: what were they - finalists in the Kiddie Olympics? Everybody is doing difficult flips & huge leaps & tumbling.

  Albert Finney was miscast. He could not sing in the movie musical "Scrooge" and he cannot sing here. I suppose that's a big reason why the songs Daddy leads or solos like "NYC" or "Something Was Missing" were deleted. He looks & sounds VERY uncomfortable in the role. Carol Burnett does nothing with the Miss Hannigan role. How original to play her as constantly drunk & constantly vamping the men. Tim Curry is absolutely too creepy as Rooster. Just a few years after playing the bizarre cross-dresser Frank-N-Furter in "The Rocky Horror Show," that's all you can think of when you see him in this (he can do better, folks. I saw him do a wonderful job as the lead in the musical "Me & My Girl" on tour and he was NOT creepy there).

  Bernadette Peters once again plays a ditzy vamp here, which is pretty much the only role she can play, and it gets old.

  A previous comment mentioned that the orphan girls kept flashing their underwear. Add to that the maids in Warbucks' mansion flashing their slips, panties & garter belts in "I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here" & "We Got Annie". Ann Reinking is a better dancer than singer, songs were transposed to a lower key to fit her husky alto, & the director gave a millionaire's secretary implausible & gratuitous dance numbers to give her something to do.

  The movie has a goof somebody should have corrected: if it's 1933, why are they showing the 1937 film "Camille" at Radio City Music Hall? A great film choice for a 10-year old kid, too...

  In the musical Annie is supposed to be 11, but is always cast older to convey the street-smart grit needed for the role. Aileen Quinn was 10 when cast, and no matter how well she tap-danced & sang for the audition, she was too young & naive in the role to give Annie any real scrappiness or depth. Her performance only adds to the cloying sweetness.

  In sum: a waste, a movie & soundtrack to be avoided. Instead, PLEASE buy or rent the 1999 Disney television movie. It is MILES better, much more faithful to the musical, better cast & MUCH better directed! Or even better, see a local production of the original musical. See what you are missing...
  
  

• WIDESCREEN!!! GET WITH THE PROGRAM COLUMBIA!!!
  By A293S4NZYFSE4U on 2004-01-13
  Fantastic film, but the existing version is much better even w/o
  the lovely DTS. It's all about the widescreen factor- In this day
  and age the average film airhead obviously will still settle for Pan & scan for Columbia to release this 2MPH edition. Clueless mothers probably still complaining about "THOSE DARNED BLACK BARS THAT CUT OFF THE TOP AND BOTTOM." Not even so much as digging around the vaults to find an outtake or gag reel? Could've used the original poster for the sleeve! Better
  bring a book for this release...
  
  
• Original is always the best........
  By A146QCGOQPZLTG on 2002-06-21
  I don't know why so many people are criticizing this movie, but it proves to be nothing but amazing. The only person who could ever play Annie to perfection would be Aileen Quinn, she was made for the role and the way she performs in this movie just makes Annie come alive. Carol Burnett was so hilarious as the role of Miss Hannigan even my mother agrees that no one else could play the part more beautifully than her. As for Tim Curry as the role of Miss Hannigan's twisted brother Rooster couldn't have done it any better, he really knows how to be an evil character. As for Albert Finney as the role of Oliver Warbucks the selfish millionare well his acting is very believable and he does an amazing job. Finally Ann Reinking as Grace Farell did a beautiful job, her character was so sweet and endearing and just the way she played it was perfect. All in all the songs were just brought to life, the acting was believable, the sets were amazing, the costumes were perfect, this movie has it all.
  
  
• Not letterboxed? You've got to be kidding.
  By A6ASPZDTBXNDM on 2004-01-13
  I was all set to purchase this disc Tuesday. I'm glad I checked this site because there is no way I'm buying a pan & scan-only version in the year 2004. I thought the reviewers must by mistaken, there is no way that this would be released full screen--one reason is that it's a musical with dancing! But every site I check lists this as full screen.

  I wouldn't have bought it full screen when I only had a 4x3 TV and I certainly won't buy it now that I have a 16x9. I'm sure the great majority of TV owners still have 4x3's and I bet this won't really turnaround until the end of the decade, but this is no excuse for the format of this release.
  
  

• Wake up COLUMBIA and smell the Widescreen Roses
  By on 2004-01-13
  Everyone else has already said it, what more can I add? How could you even think about remixing this wonderful soundtrack in 5.1 Dolby AND DTS and then pan & scan it??? Why not just mix it down to mono for pairing with 1.33:1. I have the laserdisc and I guess it's gonna stay that way. Sorry Columbia, you lost my $20 and a lot of others. Well, I guess you'll make up for it with all the mothers of 10 year olds.
  
  
• No Widescreen?
  By on 2004-01-17
  The movie is great (loved it since I was a very little girl when it first came out) and the special features are well chosen (except the stupid video by "Play" of "Hard Knock Life" -- what a waste).

  What I was really disappointed with is NO WIDESCREEN. I've seen others complain, and I'm adding mine to get another voice in on the desire for a widescreen version. This movie is so much better when viewed in its original form.

  Other than that, it's great.
  
  

• CLOSE, BUT NO CIGAR
  By AWI5YJF7TCN92 on 1999-12-28
  A terrific, outstanding cast couldn't save this one. Rule #1 in transferring musical to screen--never, EVER tamper with the numbers. For some reason, the musical was completely retooled for the film, with half of its best numbers dropped. If you've never heard or seen the original musical production, this version has nothing to do with the actual broadway show. Consequently, it's way inferior. What made the musical great was that it wasn't just about "Annie," but Christmas and the Great Depression. There's nothing about that in here, so the movie loses all the poignancy of the original.

  Rule #2--to make a successful show to screen transfer, the numbers have to be shot in a fantasy style. Sounds corny, but I'm telling you--it works (See the modern version of "Pennies From Heaven." As gritty as the storyline is, it works as a musical precisely because the numbers are shot so unrealistically). When you shoot a musical in a completely realistic style, no matter how good it is it will never have the magical feel that makes musicals feel so special; the film will just look like a regular movie with a bunch of dopes singing out of context for no reason. That's exactly what happens here. There's no magic or charm in this "Annie," although the cast had enough of it. Oh, well--what a shame--this could have been better than it was.
  
  

• SHAME ON YOU, COLUMBIA ...
  By on 2004-01-06
  This film was in Panavision. Where does Columbia get off giving us a "pan and scan" print of this film, and calling it an anniversary print? SAVE YOUR MONEY, WAIT FOR THEM TO "LETTERBOX" IT! Bad call, Columbia!
  
  
• Yes, everyone has said it...
  By A1KIVI0FIHI1HI on 2004-01-14
  But maybe if enough of us say it, the company will actually DO something about it! WHAT IS UP WITH NOT HAVING A WIDESCREEN VERSION!?!? I was definitely going to purchase this special edition until I saw it was only available in full screen. I'm just so glad that I got the previous release, since they were actually smart enough to add widescreen to that version. I'll skip the special features if I have to. By the way, I would have loved to seen the "Lights, Camera, Annie!" behind the scenes documentary that another reviewer posted about. Well, I hope they get it right when they release yet another version in a few years.
  
  
• WARNING! DO NOT BUY THIS EDITION
  By A2LHY0I7OIWL0N on 2004-01-14
  If you are any type of movie collector, don't waste your time with this pointless FULL SCREEN version. This is a wonderful, wonderful film that deserves to be treated as such. Why a studio would waste time and effort by releasing crap is beyond me. I am usually a vigilant shopper when it comes to DVD, with a collection well over 400, but I made the mistake of purchasing this edition and now I am stuck returning it.
  
  
• Good Movie but the DVD Bites!
  By on 2004-09-08
  The movie is awesome and I totally love it!
  
  Hate the DVD. It's only fullframe and doesn't have widescreen and that blows!
  
  
• Do Not Buy this DVD! Picture Cut! It's FULL SCREEN only.
  By A5YPVLVRXVSO9 on 2003-12-31
  This version is full screen only which means that the left side and the right side of the picture are cut to fit a square TV. With substantial part of the picture lost, this is the worst way of presenting an excellent musical.

  This movie was previously released with Widescreen that shows the movie in exactly the way it was originally presented on the theater screen. Buy that version instead.
  
  

• Special Edition....special enough?
  By A1HWZ62CRDHAAO on 2004-01-14
  Growing up, Annie was one of my all-time favorite movies. I sang all the songs, played runaway orphan with my friends, and watched the movie over and over on Betamax (for those of you born a bit later, that's like a VHS tape, only smaller).

  I was tempted to buy Annie as soon as it came out on DVD, but chose to wait for a version with some decent special features. Lo, it is here, but there is one thing that I'm really surprised is missing.... where's the behind-the-scenes feature, "Lights, Camera, Annie!" which aired on TV back in 1982. It included auditions for the role of Annie, dance rehearsals, cast/crew interviews, choerography and blocking of "It's a Hard Knock Life", a screen test of Aileen Quinn and Albert Finney and vocal rehearsals of "Easy Street" with Peters, Curry and Burnett. That's the kind of thing that should be on a Special Edition DVD, so I'm surprised that since the footage exists (I still have my Beta tape, and surely it exists elsewhere), that they didn't use it.

  As much as I appreciate that there is a new version, it seems to be primarily catering to kids. It would appear they neglected the adults who grew up with the movie and still think of it fondly, and would have appreciated more special features of the behind-the-scenes, as opposed to contemporary interpretations of songs and sing-alongs.

  Incidentally, why is this being presented as an "Anniversary Edition"? Annie came out in 1982, so it's the...22nd Year Anniversary?

  I still love the movie, but just can't give this version a full 5 stars given my disappointment in the special features.
  
  

• Disappointing Edition
  By ACOO1NZKALM44 on 2004-01-15
  I gave it 3 stars because I love this movie too much for just a single star. The reason why I gave this 3 stars is for one reason and one reason only, no Widescreen. It's a slap in the face to the fans and the cast members out there who have worked hard making this film and the fans who have supported the musical over the years.
  As an avid DVD collector, I like to buy Widescreen because I never liked the thought of having a film 'cut to pieces' to fit my TV screen. Annie 20th Anniversary of course is no exception.
  Hopefully Columbia will hear our voices about this and release Widescreen in the next few months...with the same extra features.

  I'm not giving up on this, not by a long shot. ;)
  
  

• Wait for the Widescreen Version
  By on 2004-01-22
  This would have been a nice DVD except they made the unforgivable mistake of releasing the "special edition" in pan and scan. My family really likes this movie, but we won't buy it on DVD until the studio comes to its senses and re-releases it in widescreen.
  
  
• Still No Widescreen!
  By A2RM5RQIGZ368W on 2005-07-02
  I can't help but wonder if ALL the widescreen prints of this movie were destroyed in a warehouse fire. Why would you bother to master another "Special Anniversary Edition" with a new DTS soundtrack and not include a Wide screen version? Especially with more and more widescreen TVs on the market. It is going to look pretty silly in a few years showing this pan and scanned musical on your widescreen TV. While not my favorite movie musical, I would still buy it if they ever have the sense to release it in it's original format! Until then...forget it!
  
  
• Not Widescreen!!
  By A3MK3YW2QKBAO5 on 2004-01-12
  Columbia Tristar you are a loser!! You took a great film like Annie (1982) and shortage all of us with 1.33:1 . This is an OUTRAGE. Why this is even called a Spedical Edition. Lucky I already own the widescreen version.
  
  
• A "special" edition that's not widescreen?
  By on 2004-01-14
  I was very much looking forward to adding this to my collection, since I remember my parents taking me when I was a child and loving it. I thought for sure this special edition would be a great addition to my collection.

  WRONG!

  It's not in widescreen! Does the late (and great) John Huston, who shot this film in 2.35:1, deserve to have the special edition of his film chopped up to Pan & Scan? For those who say you only lose a little off the sides, consider this: for 2.35:1 films like "Annie", you lose about 40% of the original picture. 40% in my opinion is much more than a "little bit." Imagine having 40% of your family portrait chopped off!

  If you really love this movie (and many do, including me), you should let Columbia know that you want (and deserve) an anamorphic widescreen presentation (which means enhanced for widescreen TVs) in its original aspect ratio (OAR) of 2.35:1.
  
  

• "Full Screen" ...are you kidding?
  By on 2004-01-25
  What brilliant MBA at Columbia Tristar decided that the best way to bring out a "Special Anniversary Edition" was to put it in home TV format? It's not the way it was filmed, it's not the way it was shown in the theatres, so why in heaven's name is this not on the DVD (or do a 2-sided flip disk, with full screen on one side and wide screen on the other)? Only people who seriously like the film are going to be purchasing a new edition of the disk -- Columbia Tristar is making a serious mistake -- any desk clerk at a video store would know this is a stupid decision. The film is a good one, some would say great, some say not, but if you like the film - full screen is an insult. The home video screen industry is very rapidly changing into high definition, wide screen format -- a lot of stores are not even stocking traditional screens anymore. Columbia Tristar -- what were you thinking????!!!
  
  
• Annie (Special Anniversary Edition) What A Shame Full Screen
  By on 2004-02-08
  For all of you who thinks that this DVD version is the best you are wrong. I saw this movie in a theather in 1982 and what a joy to see this movie on a big silver screen. If I compare the DVD to the Theatre version well I am very generous about this 1 star because I couldn't put less. This version is only a massacre of a beautiful movie that demands a wide-screen version to really appreciate the scale of the cinematography of that movie "let go to the movie" is an example. I am not going to by this DVD Edition and I suggest strongly to anyone who wants to enjoy the movie as it was ment to be to claim from Columbia Tristar Home Video a Wide-Screen treatment and DO NOT BY this version let that company drown in their ocean of not sold Annie (Special Anniversary Edition) DVD full-Screen. Although this DVD claims to have a DTS soundtrack wich is good I suggest also to those of you who have a wide-screen release to hold on to this copy and don't waste your money and by the way I read some review and one of them said that the full screen version was giving a complete picture false all the way that movie was filmed in a 35mm anamorphic format in other world Panavision with a aspect ration of 2.35:1 and a TV set is 1.33:1 so filling a TV set screen give you to lose 43% of the picture. I hope strongly that you big shots at Columbia Tristar Home Video (own by Sony Pictures) will release in the near future a Wide-Screen treatment on DVD of this wonderfull motion picture otherwise I will hold on to my Laserdisc (12 inches optical analogue video disc) Wide-Screen Version Of Annie.

• The Classic That Touched Us All
  By A1XYADEC7TLTSP on 2004-06-28
  This movie is one that you can truly say has everything.
  The dialogue is fabulous. It defines the era well, makes the characters believable, and will keep you rolling with laughter. The songs are pleasant and fun and have become standards and the choreography is wonderful. The story is as exciting as it is heart warming. There's a pleasant mix of suspense, adventure, humor, and sentiment.
  Even with so much already going for it, the highlight of the movie is the characters, and the actors who portray them. Carol Burnett is hilarious as Miss Hannigan. She delivers a very memorable performance, and makes one of the most loveable movie villains ever. Albert Finney does a perfect job with Daddy Warbucks, and its great fun to watch him tranform from a stern business man to a father with a heart of gold. There's also a strong supporting cast that all add to the flavor of the movie.
  This movie is good fun for all ages, and no matter how many times I've watched it, I've never gotten sick of it... in fact I've only found more things to appreciate about it over the years.
  
  
• A Travesty! Horrific! Painful!
  By on 1999-01-14
  Don't misunderstand me. Annie, the Broadway stage musical, is a delight-charming, funny, thoroughly enjoyable. But this film is just about the worst film ever made from a good play. Whose idea was it to have the brilliant but macho John Huston direct a musical about children? The Maltese Falcon, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The African Queen, Prizzi's Honor... Annie???? Oh yeah, that makes sense. Carol Burnett, a brilliant comedienne, is completely unfunny here. The girls who play the orphans are loud, overbearing, and annoying in the extreme. Ann Reinking, Bernadette Peters, Tim Curry-all wasted. And every dance number is filled with flashes of little girls' underwear. Ewwwww! Only Albert Finney and Geoffrey Holder survive with the slightest shred of dignity. But even they cannot save this abomination.
