Newsies is a 1992 Disney live action film musical starring Christian Bale, David Moscow and Bill Pullman. Robert Duvall and Ann-Margret also appeared in smaller roles. The movie has a small cult following surrounding it despite its initial failure at the box office. The film marked the directorial debut of Dirty Dancing choreographer Kenny Ortega and featured the music of composer Alan Menken. There are a myriad of "newsies" in the film including Jack "Cowboy" Kelly, Kid Blink, Crutchy, and Racetrack, and Spot Conlon.
Although the film was not originally intended to be a musical, it contains twelve songs and multiple dance sequences (for which the young cast trained for approximately 10 weeks). Musical highlights include "Carrying the Banner", "Santa Fe", "Seize The Day", and "King of New York".
Newsies was not a commercial success (at the time it was one of the lowest-grossing Disney live-action films in the studio's history) but gained fans when it was released on VHS and was played on the Disney Channel. It has since gained a modest yet enthusiastic cult following and was released on DVD in 2002.

Call me uncultured, but I must say one of the best musicals ever is The Newsies. Especially with the Seize the Day number!
