Recommended: Expression of emotion through music

The movie Annie sets place in New York, where an orphaned girl fostered by an unruly caretaker; Miss. Hannigan, takes over the city. The character Annie, does this when the upcoming mayor saves her life and takes her into his home as a foster parent. The mayor; Will Stacks does this to get more media and Annie goes along with the plan. In the end Stacks grows a father-daughter relationship and adopts her. Throughout the whole movie, Annie expresses herself through singing as a way to cope through life. The movie is a well thought-out musical full of surprising emotions that make you connect with the characters. I think the musical’s idea is to connect with each character's feelings, desires, and ambitions that goes along with the character

The film has been criticised for its lack of background story, and as a short film, much of the story is left to the viewer to infer from what is presented in the plot. However, Wendy and Lucy is able to depict the intimate relationship between Wendy and her dog as well as reflecting more broadly on the everyday, and commenting on the current economic state of the film’s setting in America.
