* 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. It helps that Lily is TooDumbToLive.

* 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.

* {{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 novelization, and the 1982 film, was [[GoshDangitToHeck minced]] even further.

* OrphansPlotTrinket: Annie has half a silver heart locket, which contains a note from her parents. The other orphans know it so well that they read along with her when she reads it to Molly: ''"Please take good care of our little girl. Her name is Annie. She was born on October the 28th. We will be back to get her soon. We have left half of a silver locket around her neck and kept the other half, so that when we come back for her, you will know that she's our baby."''

* JerkassHasAPoint: While Miss Hannigan is cruel about it, she has a point that Annie's parents are probably not coming back for her, given that she hasn't seen them for eleven years.
-->'''Annie''': I'm not an orphan! My parents left me with a note saying they'd come back for me.\\
'''Miss Hannigan''': ''(laughs)'' That was 1922. This is 1933. You're an orphan.



* KidsAreCruel: Mostly averted, but the orphan girls do get a moment when they all laugh at Annie's note.
