I remember that when I was a child I couldn’t wait for this movie to be shown annually on Christmas Day. My children don’t realize how good they have it in this age of TiVo. I tell them about how, back in the day, if we missed Annie we had to wait until NEXTYEAR to see it! There was no Blockbuster, no DVD’s at Walmart. Times sure have changed quickly. Anyway, this movie and the 1999 TV remake are among my children’s favorites as well. We LOVE the score!
