A little cartoony for an old fashioned musical, but I guess that's to be expected since it's based on a comic strip. I really like it though. I used to have an Annie poster on my bedroom wall!

These days, my favorite part of it is Carol Burnett as Miss Hannigan. And I just love how ultimately, she proved herself to have some good inside. I won't spoil it for others who haven't seen the movie, but I will just say it was my favorite part.

Another thing about Carol in this movie, she's super sexy when she kisses the radio haha! And I'm not even kidding. I just love how in touch with her feminine wiles she is. And even though she plays a boozing, bitter orphanage marm, I ultimately sympathized with her. Like, I thought that a lot of times, the kids caused her to be the grouch she was, by constantly laughing at her and mocking her. Sometimes I felt like if they would just be nice to her, it could change her.

Anyways, Carol Burnett is Miss Hannigan was especially sexy during certain scenes, and I loved her bedroom! Got to love that rags trying for riches 1930s aesthetic!

My other favorite part of this movie was the dog! Oh my gosh, what a perfect dog!!

If you like cartoons and Disney musicals, you will like this movie, even if you don't like traditional movie musicals. Because as I say, this has the feeling of a live-action cartoon for much of the time. But even if you aren't a fan of animated films, you will like this for its 1930s aesthetic and it's great stars.

No wonder I had the poster on my wall when I was a kid! This is a good movie!! And absence makes the heart grow fonder, because I think I like it more now than I did before!
