Christian Bale was supposedly ashamed to tell his friends that the movie was a musical.
At the time, the film was one of the lowest grossing live-action movies in Walt Disney Pictures' history.
Although many newspaper moguls of the time hosted Christmas dinners and other holiday events for their newsboys, after the Newsboys strike, Joseph Pulitzer even went as far as to host weekend events in vaudeville houses, the period equivalent of "Kids' night at the movies".
While Jack Kelly (Christian Bale) is singing "Santa Fe", there's a part where he's riding a horse. The part when his arms are thrown out and he is bent back, he is actually riding on the shoulders of his stunt master.
Originally intended as a drama, not a musical.
"Spot Conlon: Your honor, I object. Judge Monahan: On what grounds? Spot Conlon: On the grounds of Brooklyn, your honor."
"Joseph Pulitzer: Anyone who doesn't act in their own self interest is a fool. David Jacobs: Then what does that make you? Joseph Pulitzer: What? Jack Kelly: Oh, this is my pal, Davey. The Walkin' Mouth. David Jacobs: You talk about self-interest, but since the strike, your circulation's been down 70%. Everyday you're losing thousands of dollars just to beat us out of one lousy tenth of a cent. Why? Jack Kelly: You see, it ain't about the money, Dave. It Joe gives in to nobodies like us, it means we got the power. And he can't do that, no matter what it costs."
