This was great! Aileen Quinn has said that when she was teaching at Monmouth she had to go to the administrative building to fill out forms-and she said it was weird for her because her brain was telling her that she had to be dancing, not walking, up the same stairs.

I was just thinking how awesome it would be to work there and have a desk in that area where his office was. Wild for her I bet.

That is DISGUSTING how they covered up that gorgeous pool..there was plenty other spaces for them to manipulate into an office!!! Thanks Chris for such a detailed video..and all the comparisons and contrast!! 🙄

Thanks for this awesome video! My older sister Toni Ann played Molly in this 1982 film..My mom was pregnant for me and my twin sister while they were filming..I get to hear stories from them time to time, but I enjoy seeing videos on youtube.

Annie seemed to warm even the coldest heart. Look at Warbucks, he was a grouchy old man until Annie came into his life and he just became a father to her and even though he knew that he might lose her, he still went about trying to help her find her parents.

Ha ha ha, good observation. As a child, watching the movie, that little scene probably taught me that there is good in everyone. Miss Hanagan was mean but, she didn't want actual harm to come to Annie and the other orphans.

This is awesome! I must have watched Annie over 200 times as a kid. How nostalgic 🥰

I'm delighted to see that this building did not end up being neglected after filming Annie, unlike some of the other former filming locations that you've explored :) Also nice to see that they've ultimately decided not change a whole lot around in the 35 yrs since then.

maudale Hey thanks, I'm glad you liked it!

I went to college at Monmouth in the 1980's. Good to see ol WW Hall still beautiful. The movie gave them the money to make much needed repairs. Many of the rooms were closed in 1982 because they were stil filming the movie or had sets left over. Makes me so happpy to see it in good shape still

As a child it blew my mind that people actually lived in mansions like the one seen here; might've inspired my life-long fascination with Edwardian architecture. Gorgeous mansion but, I did have to sigh at the main entrance which is now filled with office equipment! :( and what they did to the swimming pool area should be illegal under the local Heritage Preservation Act. Tragic.

Only reason it was allowed probably because all of said offices can be removed, to uncover the pool if needed.

Great video! Just remember this is located in WEST Long Branch, lol there’s a big difference. But anyway, words can’t describe how much this place has been has impacted my life. As a lifelong resident of West Long Branch, I grew Up taking bike rides and walks through Monmouth.. years later, going to school here getting my bachelors and still living in town to this day. What a magical place, walking through this building to register for classes was always my favorite

A true Aileen Quinn "Annie" movie fan here! Loved this! Thank you, only a true Annie fan can appreciate this! 😍

I'm an east-coast native, and I really wish I knew about Annie having been filmed at Monmouth! I'd have definitely visited there before moving out West. Thank you for the awesome video!

Hey Chris, I saw this movie when it was originally released in theatres back in 1982. For some reason "Annie" really struck a chord with me, and I even had the soundtrack on cassette because I loved the music so much. At the time I kept that to myself thinking it was weird for a little boy to enjoy this type of movie, but I realize now that it had to do with my love of music and it simply left an impression on me at the time. There is so much talent there: Carol Burnett (got to see her here in Toronto back in October!), Tim Curry, Albert Finney, Bernadette Peters, etc.... what's not to love? Plus, after having seen this in the cinema, then rental video in the 1980s, then on a plane coming back home from Texas, it was by sheer fluke that I discovered your video of the location where the "mansion" scenes took place, where it mostly looks very much as it did back in 1982! So well done, loved every minute of this!

See my comment, up-thread. I was the exact same as you 🫶🏼

Very cool, love history. Kinda sad too, the past is to me. A shame they covered the pool area.

Nice job researching the Annie filming locations! When I was younger, I watched the 1982 movie "Annie" many times with my sister. I still watch it occasionally. I love some of the songs in it. Almost everything looks the same, but in the movie, some of the filming locations look darker. Haha. I love watching filming locations, then and now. Keep up the great work, and I wish you the best of luck in your filming adventure. 🙂

My favorite movie as a girl I am now 48 always wanted to be in Annie ..saw it so many times so I enjoyed every second of this ..you did a awesome job thank you so much

I saw Annie in the theater as a kid. You did an excellent job recreating the scenes. This video brought back many memories. Thanks for posting.

Wow such a great video. Glad they have maintained the building so well.

what an incredible building!!! the ceiling, steps and the tub all amazing. you did an excellent job of recreating each scene. I was waiting for you to play the organ lol.

This was a revelation to me. I only ever saw Annie once sometime between the ages of 9 and 13. I always thought like Hello Dolly! that it had all been filmed on sets. If I ever do go back to the US again, I would love to take a walk around Monmouth University.

Thanks for posting this!!!! I just rewatched this movie over the weekend. Its my childhood fave!!!

Gosh this made me truly happy yet very emotional in the best way!!! 💜💜 i can't thank you enough.. One of my most favorite films of all time!!

Hey fella, 'm the guy that was truant from school that day and went to our "monkeybars" hang out bridge (a Conrail Co. basqual bridge built in 1929(it had a plaque) when we thought we saw officers walking down the tracks towards the bridge.Turned out they were the location scouts, with 35mm in hand, that said "we're filming a movie here! Where Daddy W. is going to come up the River and save "Annie" in his luxury yacht at the pier." And then they left. As a fire raged in Newark, we climbed up the trestle to the very top to see the smoke. As we looked down to the bottom of the trestle. There stood the two location scouts again! The scene turned out: Annie climbs to top of bridge and gets rescued by Daddy W.'s helicopter. Paul 33 John Street Kearny NJ

thank a bunch for this. my favorite childhood movie.really brings back memories. the set hasn't changed though

your filming locations then and now are not boring, I enjoy watching them :)

We just got through watching Annie 30th Anniversary bluray and I had to come back and watch this again! Great job! Thank you! :)

This was amazing! I am a new subscriber. You are awesome! Thanks for bringing us these videos. I love how you do the comparison that really helps show us the actual movie

This was an awesome movie. I sang the songs “Hard Knock Life” and “Tomorrow” at a school performance on stage. I was an orphan too at an orphanage in Colombia (S.A.). Was adopted at age 6!

nice! by the way, the song "we've got Annie" was adapted from a "we've got Annie" song written for the broadway production that didn't make it into the final score. it's on the CD, sung by the song writers as a demo.

I watched the bridge video before this one and made comments regarding the bridge that you went over in this video. I am sorry for repeating what you went over on this video. I loved this video. Thanks!

GREAT JOB!! Very cool video and thanks for sharing!

I love your video to a movie I enjoyed when it was released on video in 1983 & still enjoy it to this very day & you did a fantastic vlog & good to know that a lot still stays pretty similar. I don’t expect you to reply as you got a load of comments.I was confused if the pool was filled in and the entire area was made into offices.I am glad I bumped into this video.I can’t believe this movie was shot 40 years ago & I was 9 then,I feel old.I will definitely subscribe to your channel cause I ❤️ movie locations!

That was great to see , Annie is my favorite movie, We have some filming locations but there in Melbourne Australia, Shows like " Prisoner " , theres a lot of historical stuff where they filmed. Great vid though. I pressed the sub and like for you

Amazing

I got saddled into taking a couple of the nieces to see this back in the day. Bernadette Peters as Tim Curry's 1920's flapper made it worthwhile. The Don Budge crack was pretty sweet, too.

I love this it is so awsome!!!!

That is sad that the pool was covered over; I imagine the upkeep was pricey. Excellent video; the editing, splicing together the movie and the footage filmed by you was immaculate. What would have been truly spectacular is if the dance moves had been recreated in those shots! What, you can't do that high kick and spins that the gardener does?

GOOD JOB!!!!

That is one gorgeous building... Certainly don't make things like that anymore... Not like they could either! The details are amazing!

I'm from NJ growing up Annie's stairs at Monmouth County College we used to party I can say I threw up on Annie's stairs.

I love this

I adore this!! It's all real!! Pre- CGI days. ❤❤

BRAVO!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Annie is a timeless classic! I watched it last night for the first time in 20 years but grew up with it on VHS and saw it’s theatrical release in 1982 at age 9. Also I was an IATSE Set Dresser for 16 years in Hollywood. The exterior NYC street scenes were likely shot on the old backlot at Universal although Warner Bros also has an “old New York” 2 block lot, as well. It’s possible that they used both (they’re across an actual street from each other, Pass Avenue, in Burbank) Regrettably the NYC property at Universal was utterly destroyed by an enormous fire in 2004. It was rebuilt similarly but some of those beautiful brownstone stoops were completely incinerated in that 5 alarm fire that drew resources from as far away as San Fernando and Santa Monica. Lastly the initial theatrical release was a failure. Can you believe it? It lost money. $40M production budget in the early 1980’s is akin to $175M today. Making Annie on par with a Marvel movie, budget-wise. If I’ve got my facts straight the film broke even in rerelease and foreign markets but the initial financial failure precluded the making of sequels. Which was the original intent. (sigh) I can only say THANK YOU to talents like Carol Burnett, Tim Curry and of course Aileen Quinn, who went on to a wonderful career on stage in productions of everything from Wizard of Oz to Fiddler on the Roof. ☺️I credit Ann Reinken as one of my early moments of “yep I’m definitely a brunettes man” And credit John Huston with giving me an early and lifelong love of Depression Era stories and Production Design. Again, BRAVO 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥳

What’s up chris I just came across your channel doing some movie filming locations. I’m enjoying your channel. I actually grew up 10 mins from Monmouth university. It’s cool seeing the and now pictures of it inside. Just wanted to say what’s up.

Wow thank you for showing us that whole beautiful place and all the shots. I am curious about the tall railroad track bridge is it still straight up in the air like that?

Thankyou Chris...lovely to see this estate. Such a heartwarming movie. I was wondering if you ever are in the area of Lindenwold Castle / Mattison Estate Property in Ambler Pennsylvania...this was the film location for an old movie called " The Trouble With Angels " starring Hayley Mills and Rosalind Russell. I'd love to see the grounds and interior of this house. Mind you...I think the movie interiors were filmed at Columbia Studios...Thankyou for your great work...!
