Editing Little Orphan Annie (section)

===Film adaptations of the Broadway musical===
In addition to the two ''Annie'' films of the 1930s, there have been three film adaptations of the Broadway play. All have the same title. They are ''[[Annie (1982 film)|Annie]]'' (1982), ''[[Annie (1999 film)|Annie]] ''(1999, a made-for-television adaptation) and ''[[Annie (2014 film)|Annie]]'' (2014).

The 1982 version was directed by [[John Huston]] and starred [[Aileen Quinn]] as Annie, [[Albert Finney]] as Warbucks, [[Ann Reinking]] as his secretary Grace Farrell, and [[Carol Burnett]] as Miss Hannigan. The film departed from the Broadway production in several respects, most notably changing the climax of the story from Christmas to the Fourth of July. It also featured five new songs, "Dumb Dog", "Sandy", "Let's Go to the Movies", "Sign", and "We Got Annie", while cutting "We'd like to Thank You, Herbert Hoover", "N.Y.C", "You Won't Be an Orphan for Long", "Something Was Missing", "Annie", and "New Deal for Christmas". It received mixed critical reviews and, while becoming the 10th highest-grossing film of 1982, barely recouped its $50 million budget.

A direct-to-video film, ''[[Annie: A Royal Adventure!]]'' was released in 1996 as a sequel to the 1982 film. It features [[Ashley Johnson (actress)|Ashley Johnson]] as Annie and focuses on the adventures of Annie and her friends Hannah and Molly. It is set in England in 1943, about 10 years after the first film, when Annie and her friends Hannah and Molly sail to England after Daddy Warbucks is invited to receive a knighthood. None of the original 1982 cast appear and the film features no musical numbers apart from a reprise of "Tomorrow".

The animated ''Little Orphan Annie's A Very Animated Christmas'' was produced as a direct-to-video film in 1995.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Crump |first1=William D. |title=Happy Holidays--Animated!

The 1999 television film was produced for ''[[The Wonderful World of Disney]]''. It starred [[Victor Garber]], [[Alan Cumming]], [[Audra McDonald]] and [[Kristin Chenoweth]], with Oscar winner [[Kathy Bates]] as Miss Hannigan and newcomer [[Alicia Morton]] as Annie. While its plot stuck closer to the original Broadway production, it also omitted "We'd Like to Thank You, Herbert Hoover", "Annie", "New Deal for Christmas", and a reprise of "Tomorrow." Generally favorably received, the production earned two [[Emmy Awards]] and [[George Foster Peabody Award]].

The 2014 film ''[[Annie (2014 film)|Annie]]'' was produced by [[Jay-Z]] and [[Will Smith]]. It starred [[Quvenzhané Wallis]] in the title role and [[Jamie Foxx]] in the role of Will Stacks (a role similar to Warbucks). The film follows the basic plot of the musical but is set in the present day and features new songs along re-mixed versions of older ones. It was released on December 19, 2014.
