When I was a teenager, I watched Newsies on VHS cassette tapes. As my children are getting a little bit older and have been enjoying their Disney films on DVD, I have started purchasing some of the classics that seem to have disappeared from the shelves of big box stores. I was very excited to find that Newsies was released on DVD, and I swooped on the opportunity to own it. Newsies is an excellent musical tale of courage and the ability to overcome circumstance. It is based on a true story that is set in the streets of NYC in the early days of newspaper tycoons Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst. Newsies stars Robert Duvall and Ann-Margaret, as well as Christian Bale (Batman Begins/The Dark Knight) and Max Casella (Doogie Howser). It is choreographed by Kenny Ortega, of High School Musical fame. One of my favorite aspects of Newsies is the cast and crew, as well as the choreography. I have grown up watching these particular actors, so I am enjoying having one of their earlier works in my collection.Read full review
What a great musical movie. We bought this for our daughter who was cast in the local summer production of the stage musical. The entire family has been singing the songs for weeks. The story is engaging. The songs are terrific. Just know that Disney changed the story when they adapted the movie into the Broadway musical. They can do that they produced the movie then set it up as stage production.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
AAgreat show. We saw this years ago, then one of our grandsons was in it at the local high school. This show is well done, the dancing is great and I would recommend this to anyone who has spent time on the stage, or enjoys a good musical. Would buy it again if necessary

My husband and I have wanted this movie for a while, but couldn't find it in stores. I bought it for his birthday, and he was really excited. He's not a huge fan of musicals, but he really likes Newsies because it's not your typical cheesy musical. It's a clean movie, with a good moral, which is one of my favorite things about it. There's a little bit of history mixed in, the cast is talented, the story is fun, the dancing is good, and the songs are pretty catchy. There isn't anything I don't like about this movie.. I take that back, the sister kind of bugs me, but other than that it's a great movie and I think everyone should have it in thier collection.
This movie has got to be one of the best musicals I have ever seen. As a teenager, of course, I love the lead role of Jack Kelly being played by Christian Bale, but the music, and the dancing is phenomenal! One of the absolute best disney musicals, and this is comeing from someone who prides herself in not only loving musicals, watching musicals, but also performing in them. Some of the acting is a little over dramatic, but the musical is quite amazing. One of my absolute favorites that a recomend for any musical lover from the age of 2 to 92. WARNING: The songs WILL get stuck in your head!
