Disney Trivia
At the time of its release, Newsies was one of the highest costing and lowest grossing live action movies in Walt Disney studio history, costing about $15,000,000 and netting only $2,819,485 at the U.S. box office. Movie critic/historian Leonard Maltin christened it “Howard the Paperboy” (in reference to another infamous box-office flop, Howard the Duck). However, the picture gained fans when it was released on VHS and was played on the Disney Channel. After much petitioning, Newsies was released on DVD in 2002. It has since gained a modest yet enthusiastic following.
