## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

An underdog saga wrapped in razzle-dazzle, Annie becomes an accidental diplomat for New York’s 1% when she strolls into Warbucks’ mansion. Her search for family escalates from orphanage breakout to pageant antics, culminating in the kind of holiday spectacle only a 90s chamber of commerce chorus could endorse. The real miracle is getting through a number called You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile without grimacing.

**Mood tags**: cozy, playful, uplifting
