Annie

Plot Summary: In the depths of the 1930's, Annie is a fiery young orphan girl who must live in a miserable orphanage run by the tyrannical Miss Hannigan.

Quickly, she charms the hearts of the household staff and even the seemingly cold-hearted Warbucks cannot help but learn to love this wonderful girl.


Carter Review: This is a great movie for children. It has a lot of fun songs, and it is super fun to see the contrast between the orphanage and Oliver Warbucks mansion. Plus, who doesn't love Carol Burnett?? A classic, two thumbs up!

Carter Review: If you haven't seen this, you haven't lived yet.This is hands down phenomenal!!

Anastasia

Plot Summary:The only surviving child of the Russian Royal Family hooks up with two con men while the undead Rasputin seeks her death.

Carter Review: Anastasia and Dmitri are my favorite animated couple of all time. The music in this movie is also great. I think this movie is so well done--and the villain is pretty creepy. Some of his scenes are a little scary for my 2 year old.
