The Darkest Parts Of Annie That Nobody Talks About

Annie hides in the laundry bin, and Mr. Bundles, the laundry man, helps her escape, and lets her loose on the city streets. They actually shake hands and he tells her good luck. Sure! That makes sense. Because despite the, um, physical relationship hinted at between Miss Hannigan and Mr. Bundles, he likely knows Miss Hannigan is mean to the kids, especially Annie. So she'd be better off alone. In 1930s New York. Yep. That's gotta be it.

No, seriously: what responsible adult would turn a 10-year-old out on the loose? Sure, it gives Annie a chance to find Sandy the dog and save him from some street ruffians (who, incidentally, shove her against a wall brutally, so that proves it's totally safe out there in the streets) and throw some punches at said ruffians, but before too long, she's picked up by a cop who takes her back to the poorly and irresponsibly run orphanage that is probably a lot safer that, you know, homelessness. If Mr. Bundles had really helped Annie by finding her a nice family, or by letting her work at the laundry or something, it wouldn't have been the same movie, so it gets a pass, but damn, Laundry Man. Have a heart.
