Le nuove avventure di Annie

This version is a sad and disappointing return of Annie the orphan-no-more. Silly plot and sub-plots, combined with an under-par acting by most of the actors, and woeful characterization makes this Annie film a real let-down. The antics that Annie get into are downright silly at times, and comic timing is absent at times. The bad guys in this case are so inept that they might as well turn themselves in instead of trying to escape. At least the crooks in the original Annie had much more brains and intellect than most common criminals.

Wait till it comes to free-to-air unless you are really an Annie-fan.

Bad script, terrible production value, a ridiculously cheesy ending, and one token singing of Tomorrow that doesn't really even fit the moment. Save your money.

The Aileen Quinn version was one of my favourite movies when I was 10, and still is to some extent. The remake with Kathy Bates was very good, but just lacked the charm of the original. Now this TV movie, is good, but it isn't great. In fact, I have mixed feelings for this-I liked some bits, and disliked others. The acting was a mixed bag. Ashley Johnson gives a spirited performance as Annie, however if you compare her to Aileen Quinn and Alicia Morton she may be too old, and I think because of that, she lacked the innocence that both girls gave to their performances. I liked the actresses of Hannah and Molly(Camilla Belle is adorable), but not Carol Cleveland as Miss Hannigan. You don't see her very much, and compared to Carol Burnett and Kathy Bates, she isn't the Miss Hannigan we grow to love, with the love of gin, and control, and I felt both were absent here. George Hearn doesn't do too bad a job as Daddy Warbucks, and Joan Collins, looking as fabulous as she did in the 50s-60s, has a ball playing an otherwise pantomime character. I didn't care very much of the supporting characters though. The main flaw with the film was the plot. It was fast moving but it was also predictable and a little too silly at times, especially the scenes with Murphy and Rupert. I wasn't crazy about the music either. And the script is weak a vast majority of the time. In conclusion, an acceptable movie. Is it the worst movie ever? No far from it! That dishonour goes to Home Alone 4, which made me vomit when I saw what they did to two comedic near-masterpieces, and an adequate second sequel. 5/10, but that doesn't mean I hate it at all. I've just seen better. Bethany Cox

this movie does not compare to the original, and it is one of the worst movies ever made, but i give it a 3 because of how unintentionally funny it is, for instance, when Annie says "it sure is big" and Michael says, enthusiastically, "it appears to be a stoner missile, used to wipe out entire villages!". Annie's hair looks really fake and Sandy doesn't even look like Sandy from the original movie. Ian McDiarmid (the emperor from star wars) must not have been getting any acting jobs back then. If any you tube poop makers are viewing this page, i greatly recommend using it for your you tube poops. Unfortunately it's hard to find on DVD but you can probably get it on amazon.

This is not canon. I refuse to believe this is canon to the original 1982 Annie movie. I have never been more let down by a sequel in my life. What's so bad about it you ask?

Excellent question.

Atrocious writing, some of the laziest writing I've ever seen and doesn't even make sense as a sequel to Annie. The characters are nothing like the originals at all, they didn't even try to make them look or act similar at all.

Horrible directing, like if you think the Star Wars prequels have bad dialogue, wait til you watch this one. Also garbage cinematography, not even visually appealing in the slightest.

An absurd amount of cliches, mainly in the plot. If you want a movie where you can predict literally everything and also by the way Annie is a literal CRIME FIGHTER now, yeah I guess if that's your thing, watch it.

I could go further. It's not good. Not good by any sense of the word. I regret the day I laid eyes upon the thumbnail on Netflix and clicked "watch". The movie is so bad that it actually hurt my mental health. All I could think about for several days was the awful experience that was watching "Annie: A Royal Adventure". It haunted my thoughts day and night, I became an insomniac and had to start taking up to 10 mg of melatonin every night. I'm restless, tired, and depressed. I started seeing a therapist recently, he told me that I need to stop thinking about it so much and to not focus all my rage on it all the time, but I can't. No matter how hard I try, no matter how much melatonin I take, no matter how much media I consume at once to block out all possible thoughts of this movie, it still haunts my mind, constantly, like it's my own shadow. I don't know what to do anymore. I keep seeing visions of the bad guys popping roofies into my milk (which is an actual scene in the movie I'm not kidding) and the so called "Annie" singing tomorrow at the end of the film completely unprompted. Seriously, it was the most jarring, out of place musical number I've ever seen. I would rather watch the Human Centipede 1, 2, and 3 than watch even just that musical number again. There is nothing I can do to stop the visions, they have infiltrated even my sleep. It's all I see, and I don't know what to do.

If you are listening, I beg you, please do not watch it, do not put yourself though what I have experienced for the last 5 years. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone. If you do watch it, which I highly advise you don't, I pray that you are spared by God from the evil that will inevitably befall you. Stay away from "Annie: A Royal Adventure" at all costs.
