Newsies

Newsies (released as The News Boys in the United Kingdom) is a 1992 American musical historical comedy-drama film produced by Walt Disney Pictures and directed by choreographer Kenny Ortega in his film directing debut. Loosely based on the New York City Newsboys' Strike of 1899 and featuring twelve original songs by Alan Menken and an underscore by J. A. C. Redford, it stars Christian Bale, Bill Pullman, Ann-Margret and Robert Duvall.
The film was an initial box office bomb, and received negative-to-mixed reviews at the time of its release. However, it later gained a cult following on home video, and was ultimately adapted into a stage adaptation on Broadway. The play was nominated for eight Tony Awards, winning two including Best Original Score for Menken and Feldman.
