With equal measures of pluck and positivity, comic strip heroine Little Orphan Annie charms everyone, despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930s New York City.

She is determined to find her parents, who abandoned her years before on the doorstep of a New York City orphanage run by the cruel, embittered Miss Hannigan.

With the help of the other girls in the orphanage, Annie encounters adventure, foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations and befriends President Franklin Roosevelt.

She finds a new home and family with billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary Grace Farrell and a lovable mutt named Sandy.
