Product Description

Amazon.ca

Except for feature-length animation, the musical has gone the way of the dinosaur. The Walt Disney company took a stab at reviving the live-action musical in 1992 with

Newsies

, a throwback picture with a curious subject. In 1899, the pint-sized newsboys delivering the New York papers go on strike against the unfair practices of news magnates Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst. The production is heavy on kiddie humor, although Christian Bale (the child star of Spielberg's Empire of the Sun) is charismatic as one of the older leaders of the revolt. The adult stars don't fare as well, with Robert Duvall doddering around as Pulitzer and Ann-Margret and Bill Pullman doing decorative duty. The film was not well received when first released, but hindsight reveals its charm (and allowed the young target audience to catch up with the picture on video). The first-time director is Kenny Ortega, the choreographer of Dirty Dancing, who brings plenty of energy to the action. --Robert Horton

5.0 out of 5 stars You'll never forget this movie! May 3 2004
By A Customer
Format:DVD
If i wanted to sound different than all the other people (mainly girls) that are writing reviews like this, I just cant. I wish i could be differnt by saying that i hate it, but this is the best movie ever. I got it in the mail just 5 hours ago, and i already went through the movie and the extra material. Now i'm ordering the soundtrack!! I decided to order it when i started singing "King of New York" while brushing my teeth!! The songs are addictive, the dancing is awsome, and the acting is great (dont get me started on the rest of why i like it..*sigh*). I cant get enough of this show!! David and Spot are my favorites!You should really buy it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love This Movie ! Sep 15 2002
Format:VHS Tape
Set in 1899 New York the Newsies sell papers nothing goes wrong until when Weasel (A.K.A) Wisley raises the papers prices with Pulitzer as his leader the Newsboys do not realize what they were getting into .Of course the fearless leader Jack Kelly (Christian Bale) decided too lead a strike against the opposing printing press with the help of David (David Moscow) Les (Luke Edwards)Racetrack (Max Casella ) Mush (Aaron Lohr) and of course the one that everyone has at least a crush story on Spot (Gabriel Damon )Jack has nothing too loose .Later on Crutchy accidentally told Snyder about Jack he quickly got out of the room .Pulitzer commanded that the Newsies be arrested at the rally .Though some of the boys were in for a surpise after performing the very fun song High Times ,Hard times .The cops set a whole mess in Irving Hall Racetrack got knocked out cold ,Itey got beaten and some other Newsies made it out though Jack was carried out of there by the police .He soon was arrested and luckily David got Jack out but still he went back the very next day the Newsies discovered that Jack sold them out too become a scabber.The boys were filled with great rage ,though Jack realized that he was stupid too become one of Pulitzer's men so with the help of Detten they printed a newspaper and ended the the strike Once And For All ! The songs and choregraphy are just perfect couldn't have been better .Still I do have a little crush on Racetrack I think he is the [cutest] boy on that tape ,and he sings perfectly .Though I think Bill Pullman didn't sing so great he was good though a little weak .Now Davie he was excellent in Seize The Day I couldn't even tell it was him .The whole movie is good not much thilfy langugage ,and the violence wasn't that bad you have too admit .I love everything about this movie remember Carrying The Banner .This is one of disney's top classics and I am very very glad too hear that .
