Annie (1999)
Overview
Things seem pretty bad for a young girl living a "hard-knock life" in an orphanage. Fed up with the dastardly Miss Hannigan, Annie escapes the run-down orphanage determined to find her mom and dad. It's an adventure that takes her from the cold, mean streets of New York to the warm, comforting arms of bighearted billionaire Oliver Warbucks - with plenty of mischief and music in between.

Leans Progressive
Primary
While acknowledging social problems like poverty and neglect, the film's central solution is rooted in individual transformation, private philanthropy, and the formation of a traditional family unit, rather than systemic or governmental reform.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI primarily through its explicit racial recasting of traditionally white lead and supporting roles. While the casting is intentionally diverse, the narrative itself does not explicitly critique traditional identities or make DEI themes central beyond the character portrayals.
Secondary
Grace Farrell, a character depicted as white in previous adaptations and the original comic strip, is portrayed by a Black actress in this 1999 film.
The film positively portrays the cultural aspects of Christmas, using the holiday as a backdrop for themes of generosity, family, and hope. Oliver Warbucks' transformation from a cynical industrialist to a loving father figure aligns with the spirit of compassion and giving often associated with the holiday.
The film 'Annie' (2014) does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative centers on an orphan girl's journey and her relationship with a wealthy businessman, with no elements pertaining to queer identity or experiences.
The film "Annie" (2014) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its storyline is centered on the titular orphan, her adoption by a wealthy mayoral candidate, and their evolving relationship, with no elements related to transgender identity.
