* [[Movie Bonus Song]]: Four of them; "Dumb Dog", "Let's Go to the Movies", "Sign", and "We Got Annie". None of them are included in the 1999 version.

* [[Product Placement]]: Parodied; when Daddy Warbucks goes on the radio, his message has had an advertisement put into it by the studio. He reads it without thinking about it, catches on, and ''snaps.''

* [[Serendipity Writes the Plot]]: The setting was moved from Christmas to the Fourth of July because filming was scheduled for the summer.

''How can we follow your sweet advice'' }}

* [[Implied Death Threat]]: Downplayed.

* [[Ironic Echo]]: Miss Hannigan makes the orphan girls say "I love you, Miss Hannigan" all the time. Later, as she and Rooster are leaving the Warbucks mansion with Annie in tow, posing as her parents, the girls arrive at the door just in time to expose her true identity by shouting, ''"We love you, Miss Hannigan!"''

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Pepper. She beats up July for defending Molly, makes fun of Annie's note, and engages in a minor [[Kick the Dog]] moment when she tells Molly that [[Brutal Honesty|"we ain't got mommies and daddies. And we ain't ever gonna have 'em. That's why we're called orphans,"]] but on the other hand, she is happy for Annie along with the rest of the girls when the latter is allowed to go to Warbucks' home for Christmas, and assists the other orphans in foiling the villains' plot.

* [[Leitmotif]]: Pieces of "Maybe" and "Tomorrow" seem to serve as one for Annie through the film. Rooster and Lily are followed around by "Easy Street".

* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]: When the orphans are left in the care of Lily St. Regis, she plays poker with them and ends up owing them $479.39.

'''Molly:''' That's where Annie is! }}
