* ShowWithinAShow: When Annie, Warbucks and Grace go to the movies, we get to see a few minutes of the [[Film/Camille1936 1936 version of]] ''[[Film/Camille1936 Camille]]'' ( even though the film is supposedly [[ArtisticLicenseHistory set in 1933]]).

** In the song "It's a Hard Knock Life", Molly tells the orphans to clean the orphanage until it shines "like the Statue of Liberty". In the original, it was Chrysler building.
** In the song "I Think I'm Gonna Like it Here", Grace Farrell calls Don Budge the "Champion of Wimbleton".

* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: Daddy Warbucks sent his secretary out to literally shop for orphans. Sure, that's perfectly okay.

* EasilyForgiven: Miss Hannigan has spent years abusing the orphans (which Warbucks states he is aware of in "Sign") and orchestrates the kidnap of Annie. But her protests over Rooster ''killing'' her was apparently enough to redeem her as in the final scene, she is not in jail, but one of the circus performers at Annie's party. Let's hope she finds more satisfaction in her new career.

* AdaptationalNationality: In the stage version, Warbucks was born in the gritty New York neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen. The film changes his birthplace to Liverpool, England to accommodate Creator/AlbertFinney's British accent.

* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler: Miss Hannigan ends up being this all along as Rooster and Lily didn't tell her they were ''really'' intending to kill Annie.]]

** Rooster knocks Miss Hannigan - his own sister - out cold when she tries to stop him from going after Annie.
* WouldHurtAChild: Rooster chases Annie up the B&O Bridge in an attempt to harm her when she escapes from him and rips up the check.

* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoil

** The chorus at Radio City Music hall promises not once but twice, "Only happy endings." ''Camille'' (the movie they end up watching) ends with a DownerEnding.

* PutOnAPrisonBus: At the end of the film, [[spoiler:Rooster and Lily]] are sent to jail for their actions.

* ShipperOnDeck: Pepper mocks Ms. Hannigan with this when the police officer brings Annie back to the orphanage.

* DefrostingIceQueen: Gender inverted with Warbucks. He wasn't happy to have a girl instead of a boy, and he's quickly exasperated by following antics. By his own admission, he was a ruthless businessman focused only on making money before he connected with Annie.

** Or at the ''very'' least that she quits ''drinking''.

''Annie'' is a 1982 film adaptation of the musical ''Theatre/{{Annie}}''. Directed by Creator/JohnHuston, it made a goodly number of changes to the stage version: comic strip characters Punjab and the Asp are supporting players, Sandy gets more screentime, songs are added and dropped, and the climax is peril-filled. Annie was played by Aileen Quinn, heading up an AllStarCast [[Creator/CarolBurnett of]] [[Creator/AlbertFinney adult]] [[Creator/TimCurry play]][[Creator/BernadettePeters ers]].

It was followed by ''Film/AnnieARoyalAdventure'', a loose [[MadeForTVMovie Made-for-TV]] sequel, [[SequelGap in 1995]]. The 1982 adaptation also served as an inspiration for the 1993 Hindi-language comedy-drama ''King Uncle''. The sequel was later followed by three additional adaptations of the musical. Creator/{{Disney}} and Creator/ColumbiaPictures produced [[Film/Annie1999 a second film adaptation]] for TV in 1999. Columbia released [[Film/Annie2014 a third film adaptation]] in 2014. A fourth adaptation, entitled ''Annie Live!'', was performed in 2021 on Creator/{{NBC}}.

** ''Ms. Hannigan'', of all people, gets the other one. When it hits her that Rooster will ''kill'' Annie, she [[HeelFaceTurn realizes she can't let him do it]] and intervenes to stop him. He quickly overpowers her, but the delay buys Annie just enough time for the rescue to arrive. The novelization even goes on to explain that she is currently dating Punjab and living in a furnished room somewhere in the Warbucks Mansion, drinking less gin and waiting to find a job that wouldn’t require her to work with girls anymore.

* AllThereInTheManual: [[https://archive.org/details/annieflei00flei The novelization]] expands on many details, notably Miss Hannigan’s gin problems and Annie’s dreams.

* MovieBonusSong: Four of them: "Dumb Dog", "Let's Go to the Movies", "Sign" and "We Got Annie". None of them are included in the later adaptations.
