So was Little Orphan Annie that popular back then? I mean I see girls liking Annie, but guys to? Nothing wrong with that, just seems odd to me.
shareApparently, I'm reading the book the movie was made from, and Ralphie does indeed listen to it religiously every afternoon at the same time, I guess the pirates and the decapitating Asp have something to do with it.
sharePopular with kids in general. Annie was kind of Tomboyish.
He's taking the knife out of the Cheese!
Do you think he wants some cheese?
Yeah. She was popular back then, with both girls AND boys.
shareTremendously popular, in comic strips and radio, on a level with "Peanuts" in later decades. Both boys and girls sent away for decoder badges (I still have my dad's from 1937).
shareShe was. In the comics Annie was fighting Nazis and criminals, lobbing grenades at tanks, throwing knives, traveling the world with her dog and her rich benefactor. Unfortunately decades later the musical ruined the property and that crap is all anyone thinks of.
