WHAT YOU DIDNT KNOW! Film versions of the Annie story appeared in 1932 and 1938.[5] In the 1970s Warbucks became more widely known via the 1977 book Little Orphan Annie and the emergence of the related simultaneous musical Annie on Broadway. These were followed in 1982 by the musical film Annie, in which Daddy Warbucks was portrayed by Albert Finney, who had shaved his head to play the role. So did George Hearn when he played the role in the sequel (1995 in the United States, and 1996 internationally) Annie: A Royal Adventure!. In Disneys 1999 made-for-TV version, Warbucks is portrayed by Victor Garber who (like Finney and Hearn) shaved his head to prepare for his role. Warbucks was named the richest fictional character in 2007 by Forbes magazine.[6] Oliver Warbucks appears in the Drawn Together episode Nipple Ring-Ring Goes to Foster Care. Annie warns Foxxy that Daddy Warbucks will take out her eyes (a reference to how the characters are depicted without pupils). The father of antagonist Princess Morbucks from The Powerpuff Girls, referred to only as Daddy, would appear to be an amalgamation of Oliver Warbucks and Ernst Stavro Blofeld. In the popular TV Show Breaking Bad (season 1 episode 5), Hank makes a reference to Daddy Warbucks being wealthy enough to pay for Walters cancer treatment. Jesse also makes a passing reference to Daddy Warbucks when seeking money from Walter for housing (season 2 episode 4). Oliver Warbucks appears in the Robot Chicken episode Tell My Mom voiced by Seth MacFarlane. After returning with Annie from an adventure, he asks Annie about what she wants to do next. When Annie recalls about what one of the orphans said about orphans in the Philippines, Annie doesnt mention this. Stephen Stanton voices Oliver Warbucks in the episode Maurice was Caught. The band Metric uses the name of this character in a song titled Monster Hospital. Daniel Bedingfield used the name of this character in his song James Dean (I Wanna Know) In the movie Poolhall Junkies character Joe (played by Chazz Palminteri) refers to Daddy Warbucks when speaking of Christoper Walkens character Mike. He is referring to Mikes wealth and ability to cover the main character, Danny, and his bets on pool games. When offering to up a bet Joe says to Danny: Why dont you speak to Daddy Warbucks and see how much its worth?
