| Newsies : 3 of 5 | |

 I decided to rent Newsies after hearing a few of the songs on MouseInfo Radio, and I really enjoyed it. This was Disney's attempt to revive the live-action musical, and even though it was a flop, it has a huge cult following (there are tons of Newsies web sites). The story is based on the actual child labor strike in turn of the century New York, which is a strange subject for a musical, but it's really entertaining anyway - the dancing is really energetic, too. Christian Bale plays the main character with a super-heavy New York accent - I can't believe he would later play the lead in American Psycho! Too bad this didn't start a musical revival - that would have been nice.
