Name: Annie.
Age: 11.
Appearance: Headstrong, smartass, black.
Hold on a minute. Annie's not black. She's a little blonde Swiss girl who lives in the mountains. That's Heidi, you idiot. Annie's the little red-headed girl who looks like Sideshow Bob.
But this new version of Annie doesn't look anything like Sideshow Bob. That's because in this remake she is being played by Oscar-nominated actor Quvenzhané Wallis.

I’m more pissed off that the’ve taken the legacy of ‘Orphan Annie’ and slowly translated it from an anti-new deal anti socialist pop culture phenomen into a Dem loving prObama love fear against the “1%”.
Aw man! They shoulda cast Carrot Top for that part. A steroid-infused transexual! Now that would be a movie!
It’s easy to troll Twitter.
Whoopie would be perfect as the Witch.
Then of course when the movie tanks, will come the inevitable cries of ‘Racism!’
That show is a bleedin' Coven.
She wouldn’t exist. A Black orphan is a fantasy
“Whoopie would be perfect as the Witch.”
Never happen. The mirrors would keep breaking.
“...the One’ll come out tomorrow, tomorrow, betcha bottom dollar...”
THAT is really funny!
That's not to mention Mr. Moto, off the top of my head. And Asians played by Mickey Rooney in some forgotten movie, and Peter Sellars, of course.
Yul Brenner, and John Wayne, and ...
Dick Shawn, one of the few actors to literally die onstage.
Anyone who doesn’t give this glowing reviews as even better than the original is racist. Anyone who doesn’t go see it is racist. Anyone who wonders why film makers have been replacing white characters with non-white ones is racist. Anyone who thinks I’m being sarcastic is racist.
I too am waiting for Shaka Zulu played by a big white guy. And I wonder what that makes me.
I have seen the previews for this and it looks pretty atrocious. It bears not even the slightest resemblance to the original comic strip or storyline.
It looks like an updated rap storyline.
I will not be going to this looks too ridiculous.
FDR isn’t in it. It’s a modern story concerning a New York politician. I am not even sure they have a Daddy Warbucks character in it.
