With equal measures of pluck and positivity, little orphan Annie charms everyone’s hearts, despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930s New York City. Annie is determined to find her parents, who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of an orphanage run by the cruel Miss Hannigan. With the help of the other girls, Annie escapes to the wondrous and magical world of NYC.
