History Film / Annie1999

-->I'm headed straight for the nuthouse\\

* {{Bowdlerize}}: Disney went with a more family-friendly angle, so Miss Hannigan's LadyDrunk tendencies were channeled into making her a CloudcuckooLander, The use of mild profanities, as heard in the original musical, its novelisation, and the 1982 film, was [[GoshDangitToHeck minced]] even further.

*** To tell how much this relationship would have been badly perceived, the '''1999''' Disney management tried to remove the scene where Warbucks proposts to Grace, and it was only thanks to sabotage by the production team this scene was saved.

* BeginnersLuck: Subverted. While Rooster and Miss Hannigan are posing as Annie's parents in an attempt to get the reward money, Lily is stuck babysitting the orphans, who proceed to wipe the floor with her while playing poker. When Lily asks them how they're so good at this game, Pepper smugly replies with this in verbatim, but it's heavily implied that they've played poker before.

'''Lily:''' Because I'm Rooster's dame! He'd never let me take the wrap and spend three months on Riker's Island... ''({{Beat}})''... [[TranquilFury again]].

** The girls proceed to force Lily to spill the beans, then trick her into [[WhatAnIdiot going to the Warbucks mansion and demanding her share of the money from her cohorts.]]

In 1999, [[Series/WaltDisneyPresents Disney]] and [[Creator/SonyPicturesTelevision Columbia-Tristar Television]] co-produced a MadeForTVMovie version of ''{{Theatre/Annie}}'' that aired on Creator/{{ABC}}. It made its own share of changes to the stage show, though it was considerably more faithful than the 1982 rendition; reinstating the songs "NYC" and "Something Was Missing" from the stage version, adding no new songs, and revealing the names of Annie's real parents. It starred newcomer Alicia Morton as the title character, with Creator/KathyBates as Miss Hannigan, Creator/VictorGarber as Oliver Warbucks, Creator/AlanCumming as Rooster, and Creator/KristinChenoweth as Lily.

* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: Sort of. Lily is replaced with Miss Hannigan for the role of Annie's fake mom, with a PaperThinDisguise and BadBadActing to boot. Annie buys it.

* DemotedToExtra: Bert Healy and the Boylan Sisters never appear physically, and are instead [[TheVoice heard over the radio]] during "Never Fully Dressed".

* WelcomingSong: Mr. Warbucks' servants welcome Annie to her new home with song and dance, and she sings her reaction: "I Think I'm Going to Like It Here."

-->'''Miss Hannigan''': Annie, Annie, tell these people how good I've always been to ya, huh?\\
'''Annie''': Miss Hannigan, I would, but the one thing you always taught me was ''(takes the paycheck from her)'' never tell a lie.

-->'''Lily''': What?! Where am I gonna get that kind of loot?! ...Hey, why am I worryin'? [[SayingTooMuch I'll be rollin' in it once Rooster and Hannigan get back from Warbucks]].\\

'''Lily''': [[OhCrap Oops.]]

* AdaptationalDyeJob: Downplayed in that Annie is still portrayed as a redhead here (as per tradition), but the shade of her hair is considerably darker than usual.

* ConflictKiller: The film opens with Annie breaking up a fight between July and Pepper.[[note]]This also happens in the 1982 movie, but occurs just a little bit later, plus several of the orphans fight at once.[[/note]]

** Miss Hannigan makes the orphan girls say "I love you, Miss Hannigan" all the time. Later, as she and Rooster are leaving the Warbucks mansion with Annie in tow, posing as her parents, the girls arrive at the door just in time to expose her true identity by shouting, ''"We love you, Miss Hannigan!"''
** Earlier on, Miss Hannigan asks Annie what the one thing she always taught her is, and Annie replies with, "Never Tell a Lie". And then, after Rooster and Miss Hannigan are exposed, we get this exchange:

'''Annie''': Miss Hannigan, I would, but the one thing you always taught me was(takes the paycheck from her) Never Tell a Lie.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Pepper. She beats up July for defending Molly, makes fun of Annie's note, and engages in a minor KickTheDog moment when she tells Molly that [[BrutalHonesty "we ain't got mommies and daddies. And we ain't ever gonna have 'em. That's why we're called orphans,"]] but on the other hand, she is happy for Annie along with the rest of the girls when the latter is allowed to go to Warbucks' home for Christmas, and assists the other orphans in foiling the villains' plot.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: When the orphans are left in the care of Lily St. Regis, she plays poker with them and ends up owing them $479.39.

** Both Rooster and Agatha attempt to book it but are stopped dead in their tracks not by the police, but by '''[[UsefulNotes/FranklinDRoosevelt the president of the United States himself]]'''.

* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: Sort of, Lily is replaced with Miss Hannigan for the role of Annie's fake mom, with a PaperThinDisguise and BadBadActing to boot. Annie buys it.

* DemotedToExtra: Bert Healy and the Boylan Sisters never appear physically, and are instead heard over the radio during "Never Fully Dressed".

'''Lily''': Oops.

'''Annie''': Miss Hannigan, I would, but the one thing you always taught me was... Never Tell a Lie.

* DarkReprise: The second time "Easy Street" plays, it is right after Rooster pulls out a knife and says he'll "make Annie disappear" after they pose as her parents to get the reward money.

* DeusExMachina: The Hannigans nearly escape the mansion with the $50,000 check... until one UsefulNotes/FranklinDRoosevelt intervenes.
