The 1982 musical film featuring the song “Tomorrow” is Annie.
Annie is a musical comedy-drama based on the Broadway musical of the same name, which in turn was inspired by Harold Gray’s comic strip Little Orphan Annie. The film follows Annie, an optimistic orphan living in Depression-era New York, whose life changes after she is taken in temporarily by billionaire Oliver Warbucks.
“Tomorrow” is Annie’s signature song and expresses her belief that life will improve with the arrival of a new day. The song was written by Charles Strouse, with lyrics by Martin Charnin, for the stage musical. In the film, it is performed by Aileen Quinn, who played Annie, and it returns at important emotional points in the story.
A common mix-up is connecting “Tomorrow” with other famous musical films such as Fame or The Little Mermaid. Those films have notable songs of their own, but “Tomorrow” is specifically associated with Annie.
