 O.K. Movie, BUT Wonderful Soundtrack! October 5, 2008
Althought the OBC is the definitive recording of this musical, and although the 1999 T.V. production with Victor Garber and Audra Macdonald is a far better adaptation of the show, this 1982 soundtrack is a delight in its own right. The main reason to buy this album is because of the cast: Carol Burnett, Albert Finney, Anne Reinking, Bernadette Peters, Tim Curry, and Aileen Quinn as the title character. A few songs in the film were actually better on screen than on stage, "It's the Hard-Knock Life" and "I Don't Need Anything But You" being chief among them. The songs added specifically for the film are also a delight, the comic duet between Burnett and Finney, "Sign" being my favorite. "Let's Go To the Movies" is also a classic and fits right into Depression-era culture. Although number like "Dumb Dog" and "Sandy" make you long for the numbers from the stage show they replaced ("We'd Like to Thank You Herbert Hoover"). Still, a delightful soundtrack!

My husband and I looked all over for this movie. I remember watching it as a child and our little girl loved it also. We searched every store we could think of and had relatives in different states looking as well. It was not available. We finally found it on Amazon and it arrived on time and in brand new condition. Thanks so much!
Excellent soundtrack! September 7, 2008
We bought this CD when we discovered our 2 year-old loved musicals and loved the Annie video, so now we can enjoy the songs in the car! Truly great, we all sing along: 2 year-old, 4 year-old, and parents!
Great Soundtrack! September 2, 2008
I bought this for my 3 year old daughter who has watch the move at least 20 times. I have this CD in my car. Anytime my daughter is in the car, she want us to put on Annie so, that she can sing along with it. It is one of the best soundtracks that we own.
