Annie: A Royal Adventure!

When Columbia Pictures bought the movie rights to "Annie", it included the rights to make sequels. Despite the poor commercial performance of the first movie in relation to its high budget, Producer Ray Stark still kept the idea of making a sequel alive. It was on and off Columbia Pictures' production slate for several years until TriStar Television, noting the first movie's popularity with children on home video, agreed to make it as a made-for-television movie, to be released simultaneously on home video.

In the original movie, Miss Hannigan's heart softens and she tries to stop her brother Rooster from killing Annie on the bridge and at the end, she is seen riding on an elephant with Punjab during the 4th of July celebration, but in this movie, she is still cruel and bitter and running the orphanage and Molly is still at the orphanage, which would imply that all the other girls are still there too.
