[ladyspats09]

i'm sorry, but as mucha s I love watching these interviews and Newsies videos.... the DanceOn intro noise is SO ANNOYING. they need to change it. seriously.

[ChillMusicVillge]

@starnade I feet so lucky that I got to see it :)

[blazingstar97]

@XNewsiesX Well, they didn't show all of them by name, and they of course look different than the movie. Skittery might not be gone! And Spot is still there, the Brooklyn newsies even get a song in this one. But Blink is apparently not in it, which really sucks because he was real; in the actual strike, he was a huge part of it.

Didn't see the female newsie, but I hope she's in it! Newsgirls were seriously underrepresented in the movie!

[barneygino]

why do i live in australia, again?

[XNewsiesX]

So they replaced Denton.... with a woman. I might like this >:D But WHERE on earth is SPOT?!! And Blink! Skittery?! D: And there's a female newsie if I'm correct...
