Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
Serviceable version of the Broadway show. Burnett shines as Miss Hannigan.
Nolan's Pop Culture Review
Rating: 3/4 --
It's like some kind of dumb toy that doesn't do anything or go anywhere, but it is fun to watch as it spins mindlessly around and around.

Chicago Sun-Times
The movie offers an insulting 'let them eat cake' gesture toward the 1982 audience, but the pacing is so ragged and the characters so lifeless that few will be able to stay awake long enough to feel offended.

Chicago Reader
The songs never take off into anything very much, the whole atmosphere (apart from the climax) is distinctly stagebound, and Huston merely reveals why he had never before in his long career been hired to make a musical.

Time Out
Many people said John Huston was an odd choice to direct Annie and he proves them right.

John Huston is the wrong director, lacking appreciation for the musical genre

Huston's biggest misfire; ponderous and sluggish.

Description by OLDIES.com:
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Annie's hit debut on Broadway, here on DVD is the classic 1982 movie version of the beloved musical, digitally remastered and featuring the original theatrical trailer. Annie is the story of a plucky, red-haired girl who dreams of life outside her dreary orphanage. One day, Annie (Aileen Quinn) is chosen to stay for one 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 gin-soaked ruler of the orphanage (played to hilarious perfection by Carol Burnett). Will Miss Hannigan's zany attempts to kidnap the irrepressible Annie succeed? Enjoy all the unforgettable songs, including "It's A Hard Knock Life" and "Tomorrow." Annie was directed by John Huston ("The Maltese Falcon", "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre", "The Asphalt Jungle", "The African Queen", "The Man Who Would Be King").
Special Anniversary Edition includes a musical performance of "It's a Hard Knock Life" by pop group Play, the Age of Annie trivia game, "sing-along with Annie", "act-along with Annie", new DTS sound mix and "My Hollywood Adventure" with Aileen Quinn.
