| Trivia | Steve Martin was offered the role of Rooster. He turned it down when he heard he would be working alongside Bernadette Peters. They were breaking up at the time, and he felt it would be too painful to work with her for several months. See more » |
| Goofs | Miss Hannigan drinks alcohol during during "Little Girls". The movie is set in 1933, when alcohol was still banned in the US. However, it was very common for people to make their own alcohol, often in a bathtub. Later during "Sign", Warbucks refers to "bathtub gin" and Hannigan ends the song after being backed into a full bathtub. She splashes Warbucks in the face with the liquid from the tub. Warbucks wipes his hand down his cheek, licks his fingers, and makes a face, indicating that the bathtub is full of homemade alcohol. See more » |

| Quotes |
Annie:
I guess they're dead. I guess I've known that deep down for a long time. Daddy Warbucks: I'm not giving up. Don't you give up. Annie: I didn't want to be just another orphan, Mr. Warbucks. I wanted to believe I was special. Daddy Warbucks: You are special! Never stop believing that! See more » |
