Arguably one of the oddest films to emerge from the modern Disney Entertainment empire, this scrappy 1992 live-action musical tells the tale of a turn-of-the-last-century labor uprising among New York City's newsboys (or "Newsies")--an especially ironic topic given the Mouse House's own historical labor relations problems. It was also a valiant attempt to revive the glory days of the Hollywood musical, and Alan Menken (fresh from his triumphs Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid) serves up a rousing retro slate of songs (with lyrics by Jack Feldman) that both evoke the Ragtime-era story and bring a musical revivalist's fervor to the task of reanimating one of filmdom's most endangered genres; a throwback to be sure, but an energetic and infectious one. --Jerry McCulley

Seize the Day! December 1, 2008
And buy the Newsies soundtrack! With middle school girls falling for newsie caps and dance moves (even on up through college!), the songs carry well over half the fun of the movie. While it's great to have the DVD to watch for hours on end, you need something for the car, the iPod, or . . . well, you name it. If you like the movie, you'll like the soundtrack. If you don't like the movie--well, honestly, what were you expecting? The soundtrack really won't change a whole lot from what you heard in the first place.
What can I say? I'm impressed! October 31, 2008
Keeping in mind that "Newsies" was officially decided to be made a musical only months before they started shooting it just impresses me! These boys came into this sort of stunned that now they had to use their voices, but they, as well as the writers and composers, put together a very enjoyable soundtrack to listen to!
Alan Menken has, once again, composed some catchy, meaningful tunes. I just wish that they were more well-known in the Disney "world".
The singers themselves are pretty good, especially considering many of them had never sung before, such as Christian Bale. While they aren't all American Idols, they aren't painful to listen to, either.
All in all, if you like Disney, or Broadway, or even New York, this is a good CD worth the buy!

Luv Newsies!!! September 27, 2007
I absolutely love the soundtrack!!!! The songs are great (with a few exceptions), and I listen to it all the time. The songs are rather short and therefore end quickly and replaying them can get annoying. I wouldn't recommend buying it unless you're a die-hard fan. The shortest song is like 2 minutes or even less.
