Annie: A Royal Adventure!

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.

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.

With all the different screen versions of Annie the musical, it's nice that there is a film that feels like the forgotten comic series that started it all. There were two Little Orphan Annie films in the 40s that I have been dying to see since I was 9. I'm 18, as of this review. Other than those lost films, the other Annie films have been remakes of the tired musical version.

I love the 1982 version for various sentimental reasons, and even the Kathy Bates one, but this one is really something new, and unlike the others for a change. I first saw this when I was 7, back in 2012 or 2013, in a double pack with the 1982 Annie, and I have many fond memories of watching it quite a bit as a kid. For one, the beautiful, amazing Joan Collins is in here, and she is clearly having fun as the villain, and just as glamorous as ever. Also, I think the actress playing Annie is really spunky and likable. I won't go into the plot other than Annie takes a trip to the U. K. and helps solve a ridiculous, complicated, cartoonish crime plot. That plot sounds exactly like one of the comics Ive read.

I used to collect Little Orphan Annie things when I was 9 - 12, so I read a lot of the original comics, and listened to some of the radio plays. I'm sure most people nowadays have never heard of the original Little Orphan Annie stories, and they only know of Annie the musical, so that is why they are put off by this film, seeing as there is only one musical number, but watching this will give you an idea of what Annie was like in the beginning, mixed with just a little bit of the overdone musical.

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.
