Newsies
It is the film that captures the story of Jack Kelly, who decided that two newcomers would endorse his business. They are the brothers David and Les Jacobs who are changing course. Both brothers are being exploited for no reason by their bosses, but they are beginning to bring about the required change during that period but may be met by the cruelty of the big companies facing them.

Bale and the cast are energetic and fun to watch, and the story itself is fascinating history. But the songs and choreography are a disappointment.

Kids go on strike in gritty, historical musical.

Despite Newsies' many flaws, it's bracing to see Disney attempt a PG movie about something as meaty as labor relations. Would that every strike be resolved with so little bloodshed and so many songs.

Newsies is a live-action musical, but it's only barely alive. Call it Snoozies.

Certain movies engage your affections so strongly that, even if they start to fall apart, you tend to keep rooting for them. That's pretty much the case with Newsies.

Stop the presses! Newsies is the best live-action movie musical since Little Shop of Horrors.

An old-fashioned musical that is better when its characters sing and dance than when they talk.

Bale and Menken are literally what make the movie sing.

A Disney musical with an undistinguished score, fair to middling choreography, and clunky direction that still manages to be entertaining in spots because of its story.
