A [[Radio Drama|radio show]] titled ''Adventure Time with Little Orphan Annie'' also was spun off from the comic strip. From 1930 to 1943, children were able to join Annie's secret society and [[Product Placement|encouraged to drink their Ovaltine]] ([[A Christmas Story|even in their Secret Society Decoder Pins!]]). Shirley Bell did the voice of the popular orphan for most of the show's run, until Janice Gilbert took over the role in the last year or two of the radio shows run.
In 1972, Martin Charnin bought the rights to the comic strip. With Thomas Meehan and Charles Strouse, he created the Broadway musical ''Annie'' in 1977. For more about it and its spin-offs (including the 1982 film), see ''[[
In 1995, ''Annie: A Royal Adventure'', a [[Made for TV Movie]] starring Ashley Johnson, aired on [[ABC]].
Line 61:
* [[Heartwarming Orphan]]: Come on. Take a guess at who it is.
* [[Informed Ability]]: Z.Z. Hare's reliability. He betrays people in the strip several times, but never shows any signs of being reliable. And we're told that he's stood by Warbucks in good times and bad, but we've seen Warbucks be in a lot of trouble over the years, and Hare was nowhere to be seen.
* [[Jerk
* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: The only way you can read most of the Leonard Starr strips. One book of them was published over 20 years ago, but it only contained two arcs (less than a year's worth of strips) from the very beginning.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: {{spoiler|Trixie Tinkle}} does it literally. Poor Sandy.
Line 86:
* [[Orphan's Ordeal]]: The aforementioned scenes of Annie separated from "Daddy" Warbucks, living on the streets.
* [[The Pollyanna]]: Averted with Annie, who's generally positive but still fells down when things go badly.
* [[Put
** Warbucks, very frequently. Always brought back.
** When Annie first went to live with "Daddy" Warbucks, he had a wife, but after a while she was in a boat accident with him. Having woken up alone after the accident he went to search for her, leaving Annie behind, and when he returned to the strip he spent all his energy on finding Annie, and his wife was never mentioned again.
** Trixie Tinkle.
* [[Remember the New Guy?]]: After several years with many trials and tribulations for Annie and "Daddy" Warbucks, we're introduced to Z.Z. Hare, who apparently has always stood by Warbucks, in good times and hard. Even though Warbucks had been in a lot of trouble several times by then, and Hare hadn't been around.
* [[Scary Black Man]]: Warbucks' bodyguard, Punjab.
* [[Spin-Off]]: Ma Green got her own comic strip after a while.
Line 105:
* [[Wham! Episode]]: The strip for January 17, 1934.
* [[Wham! Line]]: {{spoiler|"Is it kidnaping for a man and wife to speak to their own ''daughter?''}} from January 17, 1934.
* [[Writer
* [[Yellow Peril]]: Averted with Wun Wey, who's a good friend of Warbucks.
* [[You Just Told Me]]: Annie wants to find out if Jack Boot is the one who gave the Jones family the money they needed to keep their farm. This is how she does it:
