Life is hard for Annie and the other orphans at the Hudson Street Orphanage in Depression-era New York City. Presided over by dastardly matron Miss Hannigan, fun is hard to find until one day her life is changed forever when Grace, the beautiful assistant of the enigmatic millionaire Oscar (Daddy) Warbucks, comes to ask for an orphan to stay at his mansion for the Christmas holidays. This begins a madcap caper as Annie's bright and shining personality begins to win over the crotchety businessman, teaching him the meaning of love, life, and looking on the bright side.
