ReelViews
It's a bit of a throwback and a solid family film and, at the time, represented a well-intentioned leap of faith of the sort that studios rarely take. - 70
Washington Post
Its intentions seem fairly modest, and so are its achievements. It's a modestly enjoyable diversion. - 50
Austin Chronicle
This is primarily a children's movie and I have a hard time working up much rancor against a movie as campily perverse as this one is. - 50
Chicago Reader
A Disney musical with an undistinguished score (Alan Menken and Jack Feldman), fair to middling choreography (Kenny Ortega and Peggy Holmes), and clunky direction (Ortega) that still manages to be entertaining in spots because of its story. - 50
Entertainment Weekly
It has been put together with just enough efficiency to qualify as an oddball labor of love. - 50
TV Guide Magazine
Sumptuous production values and fitfully impressive choreography notwithstanding, Newsies was a major misfire for Disney Studios. - 42
Christian Science Monitor
This one doesn't have enough zesty ideas to revive the breed. - 40
Washington Post
Newsies is all left feet, noise and clutter.
