I remember seeing this movie as a child in the early nineties. For days afterwards I was singing along with my vhs copy, to songs like "The World Will Know," "King of New York," and of course, "Seize The Day." The VHS wore out and DVD came into play, Newsies became nigh on impossible to find in my area. So it became forgotten. Then one day it showed up on a movie channel, and I was hooked. American Psycho had come and gone, so Christian Bale was a little bit harder to view as the sad hero of the newsboy's union, but with time, Jack came back to the surface. Along with Luke Edwards who played Nintendo prodigy Jimmy Woods in the Wizard; David Moscow, the boy who would grow up to be Tom Hanks in Big and Max Casella, aka Doogie Howser's bud Vinnie Delpino Christian Bale dances and sings Ruthless newspaper magnates like Joseph Pullitzer and William Randolph Hearst into submission. Though the story deals with a possibly depressing subject (child labor, strikes, Bill Pullman singing) you can't help but smile when those kids hit the streets and sing out with many of their musical numbers. And I was just kidding about Bill Pullman, he did fine.

love musicals this is one of the best in a long time.

Great Choreography! Thought musicals were a thing of the past until now.
