It is the second film adaptation of the 1977 Broadway musical of the same name by Charles Strouse, Martin Charnin and Thomas Meehan, which in turn is based on the 1924 Little Orphan Annie comic strip by Harold Gray. It is also referred to as a remake of Columbia's 1982 film. It was written by Irene Mecchi, produced by Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, and directed by Rob Marshall. It aired on ABC on November 7, 1999. This version earned two Emmy Awards and a George Foster Peabody Award.
