Annie (1999)



Disney Christmas TV musical starring Kathy Bates
Year: 1999
Year in film: 1933
Country: USA
Who in bibs: girl Pepper ~11 ?
Available on DVD: yes
I own: no
Bib occurrence: low
Rating: 6/10
Rating: ******
Comment: At least one orphaned girl (I think Marissa Rago), looks like a tomboy (rather short, dark hair and a wool cap), barefoot in faded, simple, maybe non-jeans blue greyish bibs which are a bit baggy. Also an interesting scene kneeing on a table (pic 1 at 55 minutes, pic 2 near the beginning).

Good setting in the 1930s. Also 11 yo Annie and a woman in sailor dresses. But there are also other, partly better versions (but I haven't checked them all).

Annie (1982) has blond boys in bibs (rating 7 but brief scene).

Quite interesting and some more scenes than in the 1982 version but I can't give more than rating 5-6.

I also have finally finished the book "The Home Ranch" by Ralph Moody (tag book). (Also a girl and woman in bibs but I don't like it),
