The movie was made for fans of the show. It'd be like going to see a Star Trek movie, having never watched an episode of the television show. If you already know the characters, you don't want to waste plot/story time on developing characters that the audience should already be familiar with. I'm sorry you had to wonder who Anara (sp?) was, if that is who you are referring to as the brown haired girl (I'm sure you don't mean River). She was an important character and not just a plot device for the movie.
