Wikipedia article
'Annie: A Royal Adventure!' (also known as 'Annie 2' or 'Annie 2: A Royal Adventure!') is a 1995 American comedy film and the sequel to the 1982 theatrical film 'Annie'. It was released as a television film on ABC in the United States in 1995 and internationally in 1996, and is approximately 93 minutes long. The film has no songs apart from a reprise of "Tomorrow" sung at the end of the film, immediately after Daddy Warbucks is knighted.
None of the cast members from the previous film appear in this sequel. Annie, Daddy Warbucks, Molly, Punjab, Asp, Sandy, and Miss Hannigan are the only characters from the original to appear in this film. Grace, Rooster, Lilly and Mrs. Pugh are not in the sequel. Many of the original cast had either moved on to other projects or were too old for the sequel.
