Disney's at it Again.... But is it the Right Move?
The Walt Disney Company comes out with Annie with some new twists on the cast, sets, and plot... Disney remade Rodgers and Hamerstein with a diverse cast of
Brandy Moeisha), Whitney Houston (The Preacher's Wife), Victor Garber (Legally Blonde), Whoopi Goldberg (Sister Act, and Berdenette Peters (Into the Woods)

Is Disney Making the right choice of remaking a Broadway classic?

An All Star Cast like Cinderella features....

* Victor Garber (Rodger's and Hamerstien's Cinderella, Alias)- 1997 - Daddy Warbucks
* Audra McDonald (1994 TONY Award winning actress- Caurosel)- Grace Farrell
* Alan Cumming (Spy Kids, X Men)- Rooster Hannigan
* Kathy Bates (Academy Award Winnig Actress- Misery)- Miss Hannigan
* Kristin Chenoweth (1999 TONY Award Winning Actress- WICKED, You're A Good Man Charlie Brown)- Lily St. Regis
* Lalaine (Disney's Lizzie McGuire TV Series, Disney's You Wish!)
* Andrea McArdle- Star to Be in "NYC"


Disney's version seems more "kid appropriate" that kids can enjoy. The dance, color, music, and happy smiles.

The original had some dangerous/unappropriate footage like Miss Hannigan is drunk, Rooster Tries to kill Annie, and Carzy orphans that are ugly...


HERE ARE SOME TIPS FOR PEOPLE THINKING ABOUT BUYING IT...

*****Good Parts
