@@tawouinnn Probably because there's a young girl with her dress up and you can see her in her underwear. Today, we censor that much more given the number of child predators there are in the world. And if that is still in the DVD, then you're possibly mistaken because while often the lyrics have them singing, "For us," after "Hard knock life," in that specific stanza of the song, the lyric does ends with just, "Hard Knock life." There. Two potential explanations depending on context. Hope that works.

If you compare this to the new movie, you'll notice how much "safer" or simple the choreography in the newer movie is. These kids in this old original version are impressive. I couldn't do a lot of what they did.

Lol I think the original is most impressive. Amazing how time changes things.

[@apdroidgeek1737]

The 1999 version was based off of the ORIGINAL Annie that was on broadway before any movie. That’s why there’s less orphans and not changing rooms as they were being more true to the broadway version.

@@MattEddsworld as living standards rise, the definition of the “hard knock life” must also become softer. Otherwise it becomes hard to claim you are living the hard knock life and deserve more

[@TheNotverysocial]

@@contentiouscritic That just goes to show why you should not modernize a period piece. Take *Little Orphan Annie* out of the 1930s and everything falls apart, which is why the 1999 Disney movie and NBC's live one beat that piece of junk by a landslide. Is it really an adaptation of the same thing when it only has the title to go by and a few songs, but makes it just another standard rags to riches story interchangeable with any other? It doesn't resemble *Annie* at all beyond seeing a poor girl's life improve, and that is a stock story. See any other version, and you'll see what they have in common, even this which took such great liberties is still a decent movie unto itself. You could still tell what it was based on were the title different.

To call this movie delightful is to grossly understate the facts. This is coming from a 50 year old African man. I lost my sister Annie 31st October 1991 and to this day it is the most painful episode in my half a century on this planet. I was in a video store in Harare Zimbabwe when the the title of this movie caught my attention. I rented it not knowing whether or not it was a good pick, took it to my parents home during the Christmas break of 1992. This movie helped heal my mom’s broken heart. She laughed, cried and laughed some more. It was the first time joy came back to our family. Crazy thing is my sister Annie was a black African version of the orphan Annie. She was famous for getting herself into all kinds of trouble as a kid mainly because she the soul of curiosity and did not do boredom well.

@Christopher Bingham a foster kid switches from guardian to guardian and stays in different peoples homes through the foster program where as an orphan just stays in an orphanage which a bunch of other kids until they’re 18 I believe or until they’re adopted

[@denisgauthier9191]

I love it when Molly makes fun of Miss Hannigan

[@G.S.Productions]

And the best thing about that is that they have no chill about her whatsoever. And I love it!

[@stephanieyoung7875]

Love this show! Carol Burnett was great in this show.

[@henry.08216]

This version is superior. I can actually hear what they're saying opposed to the 2014 annie where they're autotuned so hard that you physically can't hear the lyrics.

[@dubuiswatchingyou793]

@Christopher Bingham yeah i like this version

[@tjz3158]

You would not believe how long it took me to realize they were saying Foster kid instead of Monster kid in the 2014 version.😥

Choreographer: "So how many flips do you want the girls to do in this number?" Director: "Yes."

[@avonee1976]

This has always been one of my favorite movies!

[@yahrisozi]

This is my favorite version out of all “Annie” movies

[@katiewilliams5643]

I was only two when this movie came out but I got to see the Broadway musical and they brought the actual daddy war bucks and Annie to the theater it was fantastic I’ll never forget it

[@profscarlett]

Annie was the first movie my mom rented at a videostore. Before Blockbuster. We watched it so many times back to back!

[@jasminecrawford42]

I would act out the entire movie, put on my dress shoes and dresses and everything. I wore that VCR out w/ this one 😂.

I miss this movie. This and The Sound Of Music were my favorites as a kid.

44 years old and I still love this movie. Screw the remakes

[@tammie1078]

Yes I agree 100% I'm watching the 2014 one which had no singing or dancing/gymnastics skills at all, it's all tech based and Jay Z did the music haha enough said. So many on here think Jay Z made the song up, so sad and so disappointing compared to this sparkling gem

[@tarantulalifemeanbean317]

I absolutely loved this movie, the musical I saw in Pittsburgh when I was 10... The whole bit! My parents even bought me a Little Orphan Annie dress, I loved that dress! So many memories! Now I'm pushing 50!

[@saagisharon8595]

I love how molly really steals the movie I would adopt her in a heartbeat if it were as easy as adopting cats or dogs

[@thetransportationguy7930]

Simple: Go to your nearest orphanage or adoption center,

[@4477superman]

@@thetransportationguy7930 There’s a LOT more to adopting a child than that. You have to spend thousands of dollars and go through tons of various inspections of your personal life. You don’t just drop by an adoption center and pick out a kid.

I know, I simplified it.

By far, Aileen Quinn is the best Annie, at least amongst the ones that I've seen!

[@guywgane3]

Still one of my favorite childhood movies. Annie, Goonies, Return of the Jedi, and Superman were always on rotation.

[@theRELAenthusiast1]

Although I like the 2014 version, I LOVE the original version. The choreography and cinematography are superior in my humble opinion. Additionally, let us remember it was the ORIGINAL version that inspired Jay-z's single, "Hard Knock life" (A Ghetto Anthem). IJS.

Despite all the hard-knock life they are experiencing, the kids are having a great time! A positive attitude gets you through the more trying situations. Lesson learned.

True. Coping mechanism work sometimes and some people don’t understand that
