I hope it doesn't have to come to not going home over this. Not that I think the kids should watch Annie. Lord knows we won't. But I think you should be able to talk to your SIL in advance and make it very clear that how inappropriate this is. And that frankly SIL's behavior/attitude is offensive.
I think the conversation should not be so much about whether your family believes in AD - since you won't be able to convince them of that, but that you are the parent and this is your wish. We do not watch this movie, we do not discuss this movie. End of story. You are their parents and you make this choice for them. If they don't understand this then you won't have much of a choice but to not attend family events. Hopefully they have enough respect for you and your knowledge as to what it best for your children to be respectful.
Good luck! And yikes - I would have been shooting daggers at that lady!
