I have to agree that this is the superior movie version of this show. I simply adore Audra and Kristin and Kathy and Alan, and they are wonderful in this movie. The choreography is very creative and tastefully done...especially the "N.Y.C." number...that has to rank as one of the best production numbers on film which features the original Broadway Annie, Andrea McArdle. What can I say? Who cares if this Annie does not have an afro of red hair? There is so much more going on for this movie that that is just a silly gripe. Buy it.
