Recommended: Expression of emotion through music

The movie Annie sets place in New York, where an orphaned girl fostered by an unruly caretaker; Miss. Hannigan, takes over the city. The character Annie, does this when the upcoming mayor saves her life and takes her into his home as a foster parent. The mayor; Will Stacks does this to get more media and Annie goes along with the plan. In the end Stacks grows a father-daughter relationship and adopts her. Throughout the whole movie, Annie expresses herself through singing as a way to cope through life. The movie is a well thought-out musical full of surprising emotions that make you connect with the characters. I think the musical’s idea is to connect with each character's feelings, desires, and ambitions that goes along with the character

Poe and Springfield’s approaches on love are like peanut butter and jelly, they can go together, but do not mix. While Poe is the fault of his disconnection from love, Springfield has no control over his love life.

The film has been criticised for its lack of background story, and as a short film, much of the story is left to the viewer to infer from what is presented in the plot.
