This family classic is adapted from the Broadway musical, which was based on the comic strip -Little Orphan Annie. During the Great Depression in New York City, a plucky red-haired scrapper named Annie (Aileen_Quinn) is the voice of hope for her fellow orphans who live under the supervision of drunken floozy Miss Hannigan (Carol_Burnett). Annie's spirit is fueled by the belief that her real parents dropped her off at the orphanage with a half of a locket, promising to return for her with the other half. One day, the dingy orphanage is visited by the sophisticated Grace Farrell (Ann_Reinking), personal secretary to conservative politician Oliver Warbucks (Albert_Finney). In order to improve his image, Grace brings Annie to the Warbucks estate for a weeklong visit. Annie quickly wins the hearts of servants and politicians alike, eventually even bringing her song of hope, "Tomorrow," to President_Roosevelt in Washington. Warbucks and Grace even go so far as to perform a public search for Annie's parents, creating an opportunity for Miss Hannigan, Rooster (Tim_Curry), and Lily (Bernadette_Peters) to scam their way to the reward money.
