Annie is a 1982 American musical film produced by Rastar and distributed by Columbia Pictures based on the musical musical of the same name, which in turn was based on the 1924 Little Orphan Annie comic strip by Harold Gray.
The film is directed by John Huston, written by Carol Sobieski, choreographed by Arlene Phillips, and features an ensemble cast consisting of Albert Finney, Carol Burnett, Tim Curry, Bernadette Peters, Ann Reinking, Geoffrey Holder, Edward Herrmann, and Aileen Quinn in her feature film debut. The film tells the story of Annie, an orphan living in New York City who desires to have a good family. When she is taken in by billionaire Oliver Warbucks, she must avoid capture by her alcoholic caretaker and her brother.
Filming took place for six weeks on Monmouth University in New Jersey. Annie was released on May 17, 1982, and received mixed reviews from film critics. The sequel, Annie: A Royal Adventure!, aired on the ABC in 1995. A television film adaptation of Annie was also broadcast in 1999. A remake of the film produced by Will Smith is under development.

Plot: The Self-Realization of Kayla Lockwood is a psychological drama where each moment challenges the senses and is in itself an experience. Each actress seeks out and defines their own version of womanhood. There is tension, and struggle. The situations are understated, seem real, and are at sometimes a raw picture of human relationships. As its title suggests, the film captures characters in mid-bloom.
