Newsies (1992)

good back-story, and good acting

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

One of my favourite movies growing up, and still is. A great musical for the whole family.

Newsies is a musical phenomenon set in the time of the paperboy strikes of 1899 in New York City. It's a family-friendly tale of brotherhood among young boys in trying times and of the struggles that they were able to face together.The choreography is top notch for a film released in 1992, but it is not up-to-par with today's standards. Fortunately this is made up for by the absolutely stunning Broadway musical version of Newsies. The movie pales in comparison to the modern Broadway version, but at its time it was absolutely amazing. The Broadway version is currently still on tour throughout North America. It is still a hit among all audiences! When the film was originally released, its lovable characters and impressive musical scores were not enough to give it good viewings. At that time, the musical genre was not nearly as popular as it is today Though this movie is not the most historically accurate, it portrays the time period well through the excellent costumes, settings, and script of the movie. Overall this movie is definitely something I would love to watch again, and I know I could watch it with anyone. It truly is a wonderful story of brotherhood.

The Newsies Delivered"Newsies", a 1992 Disney musical, was filled with wonderful songs and dance numbers throughout that kept the audience singing along. It had a little bit of everything, from comedy to romance to action-packed chase scenes. This PG movie is about the newsboys in 1899 in New York City. They go on strike against Pulitzer, the head of the paper. The main character, Jack Kelley is portrayed by actor Christian Bale. Although this role is quite different from his role in Batman in 2005, he played it very well. His over the top New York accent is just what the audience needed. Some of the dance numbers are overly choreographed and end somewhat awkwardly, but it is a Disney musical after all. Unlike many movies, the story was mostly accurate. The ending was a little different, but it had the same idea all together. After watching this musical you will have "King of New York" stuck in your head for days. The Newsies fully delivered.

Newsies, a Disney film directed by Kenny Ortega, was released 1992 and featured a young Christian Bale playing the lead of Jack Kelly. While historically it is not completely accurate, the concept of the children standing up against their unfair pay and hours, is correct. The exact details however, become a little skewed. There are no girls featured in the movie as newsies, when in reality newsies were both boys and girls. The acting from the young kids is superb, and realistically portrays young New York kids trying to make a living for themselves. My favorite part of the movie was the choreography and soundtrack. They were marvelous, and helped the movie gain enough popularity to be made into a musical, which is still preformed today. Overall, this movie demonstrates that there is power in numbers for the youth, and standing up for what you believe in is important
