Question: Why wouldn't Miss Hannigan sign the papers to have Annie adopted by Warbucks? I get she wanted Warbucks to like her but I'm still confused.
Question: Whatever happened to Miss Hannigan? (04:59:34 - 04:59:59)
Answer: In the original play, she went to jail. At the end of the movie, she was riding an elephant. Mostly likely because she wanted to stop her brother Rooster from hurting Annie, she was given a light sentence: probation with community service.
Answer: Because she was a mean and unhappy woman, if she can't be happy why should everyone else.
