The acrobatics and physical talents of these young kids was amazing


Very underrated. The versatility of all those kids is something to see.

I cant imagine how difficult the choreography must have been or how they got the children, so young in age, to be able to synchronize themselves while jumping, flipping and diving on the beds and various other set pieces. Not only could these kids act but they were doing extremely physical coordinated and intricate routines. This movie could never be made nowadays with the current PC nature of the world and fear of children getting hurt. I was amazed watching the children flip and dive all over the place, at my age I couldn't jump let alone do what they did.

The remake couldn't come close to this and was only made to update and make Annie Black. Carol Brunette was a much better drunk than Cameron Diaz. Jay Z's version of Hard knock life should have been in the remake.

Agreed!

The production designer for this film was very talented and that's why we got lots of singing, dancing and acrobatics. Loved this movie! The best Annie adaptation ever.
