It's interesting to see that Sony,after licensing SO many great classics and other popular movies to various labels,decided to take it upon themselves to release/distribute mediocre movie (judging from the overall Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB score) such as this.

The Broadway revival opens in October. Makes complete sense.

Although I'm not personally a fan of Annie... a catalog title released directly from Sony is still a good sign.

[BluAtreyu]

One person's "mediocre" is another's "nostalgic childhood classic.". Can't wait to pick this up! And I'm SO glad it will be in the OAR. :-)

This is one of my guilty pleasure movies but it looks like the movie was nominated for Golden Globes & Oscars

Annie has many issues, but I still think the film was well cast. I can finally replace my old original Annie DVD that came in Widescreen (later only as pan/scan for so many years)

Great flick! Nice to see it being released in its original ratio after all these years (and in high-def to boot!).

Very misleading Akijama. A few years ago, the original out of print Columbia/TriStar/Sony DVD release would have set you back over $60 bucks on eBay, and sellers were routinely getting that much and more for it. Sony re-released it full screen only, and even that DVD sold. The film certainly has its fans...

But in the larger sense you're right, of all the classic Columbia catalogue titles Sony has suddenly decided are worth doing themselves rather than licensing to Twilight Time, Image, or Mill Creek, it does seem a tad strange.

I'm really happy to have this out on Blu-Ray. I recently watched it on Xfinity Streampix in HD and it was awesome. Having not seen the movie in widescreen ever, it was like watching a whole different film.

Every Broadway to Hollywood transfer always gets my attention - some more than others. In spite of its reputation I still enjoy Annie. Day 1 for me.

[Chloenator]

I pre-ordered this. Annie is one of my favorite musicals of all time.

And with lossless audio. Looks like the film was originally released in 70mm 6-track sound.

[bondfooll]

I'm buying this exclusively for the scenes with Carol Burnett.

Ah, I wish this would come out tomorrow.


But seriously, this is a childhood classic so i'll definitely be picking it up. It's one of my mom's favorite films so maybe i'll surprise her with the Blu.
