Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Most of the newsies depicted in the film are based on real people from the strike such as Spot Conlon, Racetrack Higgins, Kid Blink. Jack Kelly, however, is a fabrication, though he may have been based on the real Kid Blink, who was accused of being bribed by Pulitzer to end the strike. David is most probably based on Morris Cohen, the other leader of the strike. more
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In "Carrying the Banner" when the Newsies sing 'We need a good assassination!' Christian Bale missteps and is off through the next few lines. more
Quotes:
Kid Blink: Hey bummas, we'se got work to do!
Specs: Since when did you become me mudda?

i absolutely love this movei!!, 16 September 2002
10/10
Author: skipgirl16 from new jersey

apart from being a wonderful musical (which i've grown up watching so i can tell a good from a bad) it also has a wonderful story-line. the plot is so well thought of, it isn't every day when they make a musical about a strike that happened in 1899. i fell in love with this movie the first time i watched it. it's classical, and when you see it, you can't help but liking it. the dancing, acting, and singing is great. i don't know many teenagers who can dance and sing like that! evenn thought this movie was made 10 years ago and i don't remember it, it's starting to come back. my mom's friend called one day saying that her daughter loves this movie called newsies, and i said that i love it! i thought nobody knew about it, but i was wrong. how could you forget a great movie like this? if you haven't seen it, i gaurentee you 100% that you will probably end up liking it as much as i do.
