Annie [VHS] Aileen Quinn (Actor), Albert Finney (Actor), John Huston (Director) Format: VHS Tape ANNIE, the story of everyone�s favorite plucky, red-haired orphan, finally makes the leap from Broadway to VHS! One day Annie (Aileen Quinn) is chosen to stay for a week with the famous billionaire �Daddy� Warbucks (Albert Finney). One week turns into many, and the only person standing in the way of Annie�s fun is Miss Hannigan, the tyrannical ruler of the orphanage (played to hilarious perfection by Carol Burnett). Will Miss Hannigan�s zany attempts to kidnap the irrepressible Annie succeed? Sing along with the unforgettable songs and experience the beloved musical like never before! Actors: Aileen Quinn, Albert Finney, Carol Burnett, Ann Reinking, Tim Curry Directors: John Huston Writers: Carol Sobieski, Harold Gray, Thomas Meehan Producers: Carol Sobieski, Joe Layton, Ray Stark Outside of "Wizard of Oz," this may be the best children's musical ever made. Besides being enjoyable for children of all ages, adults can revel in this wonderful look at the early 1930s in America. John Houston, one of the top ten American directors ever, was in his 70s when he made this, yet he still had his amazing skill set to produce a wonderful story within a wonderful world. Aileen Quine as Annie is terrific in a definitive performance, but you can't overlook Carol Burnett as the often inebriated Miss Hannegan. She got a Golden Globe nomination, but deserved an Academy Award for best Supporting Actress. The acting is passionate. Purely, genuinely, and undeniably passionate. I don't know where they found that little Aileen Quinn, but she embodies absolutely everything that this character is supposed to symbolize. She is plucky, sweet, tough as nails, and underneath it all, she's just looking for a family to call her own. She probably fits her given role better than any other child actress in any movie I've ever seen, and I mean that sincerely. She is just amazing. For that matter, every single cast member appears to have poured their entire soul into their roles, with acting that contains remarkable depth and incredible spirit. The song and dance numbers, too, are a phenomenol addition to this film. A few original new songs are added to this version, including "We've Got Annie" and "Dumb Dog" (which I personally didn't love and found to be a bit out of place, but it was still pretty cute). There are clearly professional dancers and talented voices galore to accompany every song, making it an ideal musical experience for the whole family. 0-8001-0702-0.
