Annie
Movie (1999)
Things seem pretty bad for a young girl living a "hard-knock life" in an orphanage. Fed up with the dastardly Miss Hannigan, Annie escapes the run-down orphanage determined to find her mom and dad. It's an adventure that takes her from the cold, mean streets of New York to the warm, comforting arms of bighearted billionaire Oliver Warbucks - with plenty of mischief and music in between.

Content at a glance
More filled segments mean stronger content.
Sex & Nudity
The editorial review marks sexual content and nudity as absent.
Violence & Gore
Hannigan's cruel treatment of the orphans may disturb younger children, and her brother alludes to killing Annie with a knife. Violence is tongue-in-cheek rather than graphic.
Profanity
Some verbal bullying from orphan girls toward the smallest girl, plus taunting of orphans who believe their parents are alive; no strong profanity is noted.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
Antagonists drink shots of whiskey, and the orphan girls sing about wanting to make Miss Hannigan drink a Mickey Finn, a drugged alcoholic drink meant to incapacitate.
Frightening Scenes
Hannigan's cruel treatment and the threat of a switchblade may be distressing for some younger viewers, and the plot involves a fake parents scheme.
Positives & learning
More filled segments mean stronger positive content or learning value.
Positive messages
The review states the feel-good musical has no real positive messages.
Role models
Annie stands up to the orphanage bullies and keeps hope and a positive attitude; Grace is sensitive and empathetic to Annie.
Representation
The review describes the main character as a spunky redhead and a feisty girl who stands up to bullies, a narrow observation about a female lead.
Learning
The review offers family discussion prompts about orphan stories, Great Depression realities, and classic musicals as a discussion opportunity, not proof of educational purpose.
