"it's awfully nice of mr pullitzer to let us use his press!" "yeah, i just hope we get to thank him for it someday" later on... "whose press did you use to print this? WHOSE" "well, we only use the best, joe. so, i just wanna say...thanks again" :D
What's funny is in the Broadway musical, Pulitzer is impressed enough that he hires Jack as a political cartoonist (of course, in the musical, Jack and Pulitzer's daughter also fancy each other, so there's more layers and musical logic going on there).
Riley W What makes it even sadder is back then many children were illiterate. Kids would have to stop going to school or not go at all so they could support their families working as newsboys or in factories where their lives were sometimes at stake. They would hire children because they had tiny fingers that they could stick in machines to fix them. As a result many of them lost fingers. There were several other safety risks as well. That period was an awful time to live in if you were poor. People would be desperate to feed their families and the jobs they would have to take to support them were rough. This is part of the reason the US has such strict child labor laws.
I think it's kind of intresting and a good detail how Race acctually asks if someone can read before he hands them a paper. Time period and all, a large portion of people, kids espeically, couldn't read.
@@nukedukem6 Meh, literacy isn't being able to spell perfectly or use immaculate grammar, it's just being able to read. You'd be amazed at the kind of garbage that literate folks can make sense of, or the sort of more complicated stuff you can work out with a basic understanding and some patience.
The 92sies cast did reunite (excluding Christan Bale) when it first went to Broadway. Fans could pay extra to go behind the scenes after the show and then meet the 92sies cast along with the Bway one
I actually have a deep connection with Newsies. When I was in sixth grade, I lived in Indiana, and hated every single second of school-I heard ' is this how you acted at your old school? ' from one of my teachers, and got in trouble for stupid stuff, like fidgeting-which I do when I'm nervous; which I was nearly every day-regularly, and I wasn't even a bad kid; I was too nervous to feel the need to act out. Indiana was my version of a ' big city ', because, before I moved there, I'd only ever lived in a same small town. In the small town, I'd gone to school with the same kids all my life-so, I knew pretty much everyone in my grade. Because of the unfamiliar environment, and the fact that I didn't really talk to anyone without them approaching me first out of fear, I didn't make many friends in Indiana and lost contact with all of the kids that I at least knew in my hometown-I'm still not the best at keeping up relationships. Anyway, I'll forever love my sixth grade music teacher in Indiana because she introduced all of us to Newsies. First, though, she showed us a clip of the original cast of the Broadway show performing at the Tony Awards. I was confused, but slightly intrigued that people dressed up in costumes and sang for something other than a school play; it was like watching a movie, in a way, but so much cooler. I ended up auditioning for the school's musical that year. I didn't get a part, of course, but Newsies is what made me obsess over musicals and all that, in the first place. Newsies was the first real musical that I ever saw-both on a screen and when I went to see the touring cast as an early birthday present. I'm not gonna claim that Newsies ' saved me ' or anything because I was never really in a situation where saving was necessary, in the first place. But I ended up finding online friends who were into the movie, too, and felt a lot less lonely. So, yeah; I owe my current obsession with theatre both to my 6th grade music teacher in Indiana and to Newsies.
When I was 6 years old I was in my second musical. I kinda just did it because my parents liked hearing me sing and my nest friends did it. As a cast, we took a trip to New York. We were going to Broadway to see newsies. I don’t remember much of it, just that I was never more intrigued in my entire life. There was one guy on stage who could sing like I had never heard. A man who I would later find out is named Jeremy Jordan. A man that inspired me and long story short this is now my favorite musical.
When I first heard about it in 4th grade as a play that one of the kids was doing, I didn't think much of it. But then 2 years later I watched the movie, and then I fell in love. Now it's legit my comfort movie help- :/
@LeLionsFromNantucket I absolutely loved that when they were handing the paper out to those girls they took their hats off. And it wasn't just their elders, but girls their age too. It was just the respectable and right thing to do, and I love that they do it without even thingking about it.
I only first saw this film around about 2000. Was surprised when I learned that it was a flop cos it didn't deserve to be. Freaking awesome movie and a damn good story.

@@lovelyally9418 i absolutely agree! 1992 however, does have the asset of the protagonist’s actor actually being 17 (jeremy jordan was 27/28 when the broadway version was released and as far as i am aware, christian bale was 17 in this film)
My mom knowing that I had lived musicals bought me this when it came out on DVD I fell in love with that I learned all the songs in a week and would annoy my parents because I kept humming or singing them over and over.
I love Newsies! I once forgot to turn return the DVD to a library, but later bought the DVD!! The songs cheer me up usually! I'm a huge theatre geek (and a woman, so mean comments will be ignored). Thanks to whomever posted this video!
I love this musical and especially this song it is the best song in the musical(and personally i prefer this version of the song to the broadway one) .It makes me cry every time because you can see then doing their jobs and showing everyone they deserve to be heard.And when it says " this ain't just newsies no more" i almost cry every time and i know it sounds dumb but its so meaningful because like the strike has spread so far because so many people listened to what the kids had to say - which no one usually did - and it showed so many other people they matter and deserve to be treated better.All the kids in sweatshops, factorys, slaughterhouses and shining shoes on the street were able to strike because of the newsies and everyone joined the strike - making it the largest child led strike in history.I love the newsies so much ❤
The Good old Days When movies had real purpose and specially the old disney ones instant classic and truly a rare gem 💎 of are lifetimes that only gets more respect and better with age
I've been binging all my favorite musicals and this one will never not be fire. Back when Blockbuster (😳) was a thing I made my mother rent this every weekend. Even went out and bought it when I was grown (still have it). Tho I haven't sat down and watched it in a while, I listen to the soundtrack often.
3 people who dislike this doesn't know what a movie there missing this is my favorite all time movie I don't know who would want to dislike this love this movie I know all the songs haha
Fun fact. Kid Blink was actually the real leader of the strike in real life. They said he was like jack and David combined. Even though jack and Dave are fictional characters. They weren't real
+SoWhat WhoCares Oh man, I would've loved that! Perhaps it would have given her some more character depth! I'd be so happy if Disney released the song one day 🎶
One line in the whole show, referencing a scene she wasn't even in...It's so jarring, her line always makes me laugh a little Its a shame Sarah is such a non-character especially since the girls' side of the whole child labor revolution thing (i.e. ten year old girls losing fingers to huge looms working over 50 hours a week for $6 because their choices are this or prostitution) is so under represented here.
This always makes me sad when they have to ask the kids if they can read because there asking like 11-15 year old kids and how they were so poor they couldn't go to school and learn how to read and even if they didn't go to school they don't have parents to teach them since at the last seen there is kids sitting on a window because they don't have a place to live
For those listening to both versions and saying the movie is better, your opinion is valid if u actually saw newsies live. If ur just listening to the sound track u won’t feel the true power behind the words and singing until you see it. I haven’t seen the movie but from these music videos I don’t think it goes near the musical.
The Newsies had a Pape, Tubers have vids, and Neal Mohan is our Joseph Pulitzer, and just as Joe let them use his old Gutenberg Printing Press, so does Neal let us use .
This music in this movie is so good, I can’t believe it flopped when it first came out. Ahead of its time I guess. Glad it got a appreciated eventually.
This stupid theme kept playing in my head just now during my very first college history exam. I love it. It kept telling me to go on and answer because everything was gonna be all right. I couldn't remember some of the names, and probably got more than 3 wrong, I still know my stuff. I love this movie. I prefer it over the Broadway version.

I watched a clip of an interview with him where he said that he was tired of singing Newsies and the only song he recently (then) sang was the PPG theme song. I found it funny.
Re: the discussion on "taking off hats for a lady" and the alleged death of manners, (which I guess has no reply buttons because Google Plus). I think it's a nice period touch to have in the movie. But in the present? Men are people. Women are people. Why would you take off your hat to show you respect someone just for what gender they are? And is taking off your hat as a sign of respect even in general use anymore? Also, I hold open doors for women all the time, but I also do the same for men. That's how I think of "manners."
Its not just about people being people. Its about women becoming a lady's and male becoming a men. We as a society have cut off what that means. Its more than just respect. The sexes of society no longer know our roles that we play. Everything is gray. Correct if I am wrong, but now people are wanting to make neutral gender bathrooms... If I can not just take a piss without a women being there I think I am going to go crazy...This society is sick....Its going so far as to say that its wrong to be a man, or a women to be a lady. Women are a weaker sex, and I have to be so specific because if I am not I will get my head bitten off...They are weaker physically..I could go on and on, but I am not...Unfortunately I have no real solutions, but I feel all I can do is just mourn for our broken society.
How did this polite disscution opportunity turn into a angry and hate filled yelling and threats? Can't people actually have a real conversation on a topic such as manners and gender without it turning into nothing more that trying to drowned the other person out?
This version of the song is my favorite. Though the Broadway version is great, I find it a bit too angry sounding. By the end of that version, it sounds like they are going to murder Pulitzer.
I love the Broadway version, too, but I agree. It sounded too angry for me 😂 Which I get it’s something to be angry about, but I feel like this version was more ‘ we’re angry at how kids are being treated unfairly and forced to work in unfair conditions as a whole ‘ whereas the Broadway was more ‘ we’re angry at Pulitzer and are gonna do whatever we have to do to win the strike. ‘ Idk if that makes sense, but what I’m getting at is it’s different levels of anger and I just feel like the movie went about at least this song better 😂
Is it bad that I don’t like Catherine either? Jack has enough to think about! And I wish they stressed his friendship with Davey more bits that’s prolly a way unpopular opinion
"it's awfully nice of mr pullitzer to let us use his press!"
"yeah, i just hope we get to thank him for it someday"
later on...
"whose press did you use to print this? WHOSE"
"well, we only use the best, joe. so, i just wanna say...thanks again"
:D

OMG that’s perfect

@@Raguleader to be fair, Jack is an artist in the stage show instead of a cowboy so he actually has skills for a cartoonist.
lol 1:45 the boys take their hats of and act so respectful to the ladies and race asking the kids if the can read is so cute
THIS MOVIE DID NOT DESERVE TO FLOP
I totally agree. I love the movie. Best thing is, it's a true story.
The Broadway show really did it justice
How did it flop??? That doesn’t make any sense 😮
Ok but that one line, "Every kid is a friend, every friend's a brother" is really freaking nice and it makes me feel good
Isn’t it
I know it's just a movie, but it sort of breaks my heart that they have to ask those kids if they can read or not.
Riley W What makes it even sadder is back then many children were illiterate.

They should have a reunion with the cast of newsies. I don't care what they say i like this movie.
Caitlin Wilde Oh, please can that happen. I don’t care where it happen, but I want to be there.
Good luck trying to get Christian Bale to do it.
Me too! I prefer it to the Broadway

@@zoe_moth ngl I started watching newsies couple weeks ago and bro I wanna go
I love how they sound when they sing "won't stop burning" and "This is do it or die
This is war!" is just the best line:) LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!
This song always gives me goosebumbs.
Me too
me three
Chaos inc. omg my school is doing this as a play and every time I sing I get goose bumps and sad because it it's our finally
Chaos inc. Gave me chills too. From "This is for kids shining shoes in the street...." on.
This is proof that the enemy changes but it boils down to the rich vs the poor
I love how this song was originally 2 minutes and 18 seconds, but in the play it's 4 minutes long.
I can't choose between the lyrics from the movie or the stage show...THEY'RE BOTH SO GOOD!!
I love the faster beat of this I have to say lol, while the stage version is good this sort of creates an atmosphere of agitation and urgency
this one’s better
Personally I like the broadway version it just sounds fuller
I actually prefer the movie versions

In 2022... What they're saying is so relevant to what's going on in this world!

Common etiquette back then. You took your hat off in the presence of a lady

"this is for kids shining shoes on the street with no shoes on their feet everyday" It always gets me.
This movie is super underrated. Especially by kids. I bet loads I know would love this!
Lyrics:
This is the story you wanted to write
Well, tonight is the night that you can
Just get this done and by dawn's early light
You can finish the fight you began
This time we're in it to stay
Think about seizing the day
Think of that train as she rolls into old Santa Fe
Tell 'em I'm on my way
See old man Pulitzer snug in his bed
He don't care if we're dead or alive
Three satin pillows are under his head
While we're beggin' for bread to survive
Joe, if you're still countin' sheep
Wake up and read 'em and weep
You got your thugs with their sticks and their slugs
Yeah, but we got a promise to keep
Once and for all, something tells me the tide'll be turnin'
Once and for all, there's a fire inside me that won't stop burnin'
Now that the choices are clear, now that tomorrow is here
Watch how the mighty will fall, for once and for all
This is for kids shinin' shoes in the street
With no shoes on their feet every day
This is for guys sweatin' blood in the shops
While the bosses and cops look away
This is to even the score
This ain't just Newsies no more
This ain't just kids with some pie in the sky
This is do it or die, this is war
Once and for all, we'll be there to defend one another
Once and for all, every kid is our friend, every friend a brother
Five thousand fists in the sky, five thousand reasons to try
We're goin' over the wall, better to die than to crawl
Either we stand or we fall, for once, once and for all
I love Racetrack...and Mush...and Jack...and Blink...and Boots. Yeah.

the harmony for the last "once and for all" gives me chills every time! :)
I love that last bit--"This is to even the score... This is WAR!!!!!"
"It's awefully nice of Mr. Pulitzer to let us use his press." "Yeah, I just hope I get to thank him for it some day."

Missed that as a 10-yo. As an adult, I’m like, Christian Bale can *get it*.
That kiss at the end WENT FOR IT

Leigh Silver They might not have had summer vacation back then

Sooooo glad Jack got to thank Pulitzer for using his printing press in the end ;)

Probably because it's based on a true story

Fun fact. Kid Blink was actually the real leader of the strike in real life. They said he was like jack and David combined. Even though jack and Dave are fictional characters. They weren't real
They literally went YEET with the paper
We're performing this play this weekend. ;]
Gosh I love this movie, absolutely amazing!

I've always wondered how Newsies would've been if it were animated. But it's good the way it is.
This is my favorite song from the movie.
This has been my favorite movie for years
RACETRACK! SPOT!! I WANT ME SOME NEWSIES!
ONCE AND FOR ALL
Hands down my favorite Newsies song...love this movie so much!
This always makes me sad when they have to ask the kids if they can read because there asking like 11-15 year old kids and how they were so poor they couldn't go to school and learn how to read and even if they didn't go to school they don't have parents to teach them since at the last seen there is kids sitting on a window because they don't have a place to live
Other ppl's wake-up alarms:😴😒
Mine: this is for kids shining shoes in the street with no shoes on their feet everyday!
I get chills when I watch this scene...I'm a sucker for underdog stories though...
I LOVE SPOT!!!!!!!!!
just saw the movie. its amazing.
Love this film and musical so much.
Watched this in school and we are singing King of New York, Santa Fe, and Seize the Day for our chorus concert.

Boots: 🕺🙌🤷♂️🙆♂️📰📰📰📰
😂😂😂😂
omg i love this movie/musical
For those listening to both versions and saying the movie is better, your opinion is valid if u actually saw newsies live. If ur just listening to the sound track u won’t feel the true power behind the words and singing until you see it. I haven’t seen the movie but from these music videos I don’t think it goes near the musical.
I love newsies ❤️❤️❤️
The Newsies had a Pape, Tubers have vids, and Neal Mohan is our Joseph Pulitzer, and just as Joe let them use his old Gutenberg Printing Press, so does Neal let us use .
Best.Movie.Ever.
0:27 - 0:28 om-gosh great voice
Newsies start job at 2:00 am. Finish job 8:30 they work fast
watched this movie at school and plus we are learning about this
This music in this movie is so good, I can’t believe it flopped when it first came out. Ahead of its time I guess. Glad it got a appreciated eventually.
My school did newsies freshman year covid-19 happened RIP newsies forever
holy hell i love this movie!
OK I’m re-watching this movie. I have to now.🍿🥤
I get chills :3
This movie makes me so emotional.
Thank You...HERO121!
This stupid theme kept playing in my head just now during my very first college history exam. I love it. It kept telling me to go on and answer because everything was gonna be all right. I couldn't remember some of the names, and probably got more than 3 wrong, I still know my stuff. I love this movie. I prefer it over the Broadway version.
Lyrics
Denton:
This is the story you wanted to write
Well, tonight is the night that you can
Jack:
Just get this done and by dawn's early light
You can finish the fight you began
David:
This time we're in it to stay
Sarah:
Think about seizing the day
Jack:
Think of that train as she rolls into old Santa Fe
Tell 'em I'm on my way
All:
See old man Pulitzer snug in his bed
He don't care if we're dead or alive
Three satin pillows are under his head
While we're beggin' for bread to survive
Joe, if you're still countin' sheep
Wake up and read 'em and weep
You got your thugs with their sticks and their slugs
Yeah, but we got a promise to keep
Once and for all, something tells me the tide'll be turnin'
Once and for all, there's a fire inside me that won't stop burnin'
Now that the choices are clear, now that tomorrow is here
Watch how the mighty will fall, for once and for all
This is for kids shinin' shoes in the street
With no shoes on their feet every day
This is for guys sweatin' blood in the shops
While the bosses and cops look away
This is to even the score
This ain't just Newsies no more
This ain't just kids with some pie in the sky
This is do it or die, this is war
Once and for all, we'll be there to defend one another
Once and for all, every kid is our friend, every friend a brother
Five thousand fists in the sky, five thousand reasons to try
We're goin' over the wall, better to die than to crawl
Either we stand or we fall, for once, once and for all
For some reason I always thought Denton sang think of the train as she rolls into old Santa Fe idk why
Bruce Wayne= newsie turned batman!
The strike was good to him
I watched a clip of an interview with him where he said that he was tired of singing Newsies and the only song he recently (then) sang was the PPG theme song. I found it funny.
Re: the discussion on "taking off hats for a lady" and the alleged death of manners, (which I guess has no reply buttons because Google Plus). I think it's a nice period touch to have in the movie. But in the present? Men are people. Women are people. Why would you take off your hat to show you respect someone just for what gender they are? And is taking off your hat as a sign of respect even in general use anymore? Also, I hold open doors for women all the time, but I also do the same for men. That's how I think of "manners."
Its not just about people being people. Its about women becoming a lady's and male becoming a men. We as a society have cut off what that means. Its more than just respect. The sexes of society no longer know our roles that we play. Everything is gray. Correct if I am wrong, but now people are wanting to make neutral gender bathrooms... If I can not just take a piss without a women being there I think I am going to go crazy...This society is sick....Its going so far as to say that its wrong to be a man, or a women to be a lady. Women are a weaker sex, and I have to be so specific because if I am not I will get my head bitten off...They are weaker physically..I could go on and on, but I am not...Unfortunately I have no real solutions, but I feel all I can do is just mourn for our broken society.
+Cynthia M And neither will you.
How did this polite disscution opportunity turn into a angry and hate filled yelling and threats? Can't people actually have a real conversation on a topic such as manners and gender without it turning into nothing more that trying to drowned the other person out?
People can't seperate themselves from gender roles and take it as something negative. But what can you do?
Are u gonna stop being stupid
This version of the song is my favorite. Though the Broadway version is great, I find it a bit too angry sounding. By the end of that version, it sounds like they are going to murder Pulitzer.
I love the Broadway version, too, but I agree. It sounded too angry for me 😂 Which I get it’s something to be angry about, but I feel like this version was more ‘ we’re angry at how kids are being treated unfairly and forced to work in unfair conditions as a whole ‘ whereas the Broadway was more ‘ we’re angry at Pulitzer and are gonna do whatever we have to do to win the strike. ‘ Idk if that makes sense, but what I’m getting at is it’s different levels of anger and I just feel like the movie went about at least this song better 😂
Oh! I'm so exited for you! I hope you get the part.
Break a leg at callbacks!
Me too :)
I love this movie
Better than Broadway lyrics.
UNPOPULAR OPINION
Sarah and Jack had barely any chemistry and I don’t think they should have ended up together in the end.
Nah bruh that's just facts
That’s why I like Katherine better. Like, Sarah’s cool and all but no
sarah's entire character was trying to establish that jack was straight
like katherine wasn't much better but at least she forwarded the plot
that is a very very popular opinion that I 1000% agree with.
On the other hand, Jack had more chemistry with David.
Now THAT'S an unpopular opinion.
Is it bad that I don’t like Catherine either? Jack has enough to think about! And I wish they stressed his friendship with Davey more bits that’s prolly a way unpopular opinion
Wait is that Bill Pullman? I didn’t know he was in Newsies!
I played jack Kelly in my middle school play, the thing that sucks is the high notes in Santa Fe, and the good part is getting to kiss a chick ☺️
