Many different people in Newsies have obedience issues... I mean, we all know about Sarah and the plates, but what about when Jack asks Les to shine his shoes? IGNORED. Or when Pulitizer tells Seitz to send in the police? IGNORED. Yessir yessir, definitely some issues there...
In the scene right before TWWK, where the boys are complaining about the price (ie.The "They jacked up the price, you hear that Jack? They jacked up the price! Ten cents a hundred!" scene) When Racetrack says "Cause they're tightwads thats why", Crutchy was about to say that, and when Race says it instead, watch Crutchy - he gets really upset with himself for screwing up the line. Its very cute.
In the same scene, watch Oscar behind Blink... He's mocking him, but he's doing it so well, its almost like he knows what Blink is going to say before he says it... ~_^
Of course, one of the most adorable scenes in the entire movie is at the very end. Right before you see Weasel and the Delancey brothers come out, watch Skittery. He gives the 'little kid in the orange' a hug , then they do a mini spit-shake. Its very cute.
In CTB, the littlest newsie ( I believe it is the same kid as the LKIO from the end scene), is used as a veritable prop. Its really funny to watch. When Snipeshooter and Boots play the quick game of leap-frog with out help, other newsies have to help the littlest guy jump over. Then the little kid gets spun around. (I think Snitch is the culprit in this case). At other points throughout the song, he gets into mini staged fights with the older newsies. Their size compared to him make a great contrast throughout this scene, and throughout the movie.
While Jack goes in to bring the newsies demands to Pulitizer, the LKIO is shaking David's hand when Denton goes up to speak to him. David is slightly confused.
What observation list would be complete without this note? At the end of KONY, when all the boys are given the glasses to toast, Racetrack only hands Kid Blink one glass. Kid Blink goes "Hey", then, not knowing what to do, shares the same glass as Mush. The two start cracking up, trying hard to keep a straight face.
"When you got to get up, you got to get up!" What else was Skittery gonna say? "No, Mr. Kloppman, I don't gots to get up"? ^_^ Instead we get the cute little, "Yeah!".
If you take your eyes off of Mush and Race during CTB at the "Try Bottle Alley or the Harbor" line, and watch behind them. Two newsies go spinning behind them, smacking each other with towels.
Denton goes out of his way to talk to David... often. (End of TWWK, when they all go back to the restaurant...)
During CTB, at the line "we need a good assasination, we need an earthquake or a war", watch what all the newsies are doing. Crutchy is using his gun as a rifle, one of the younger kid gets dragged away, people fall on top of each other. Its one of the funniest scenes in the movie - and it must have been a ton of fun to make!
David should be in Metal Gear Solid. I mean come on. He sneaks around just like Snake. If he could have, he probably would have hid under a cardboard box. Yet, sadly, cardboard was not yet invented.
The same goes for Mush. He's hiding in a BARREL? Sneaky sneaky...
Oh will we ever know what Crutchy did to Snyder's suerkraut?
During STD, when Mush is thrown up in the air, watch his face. He screams and his expression is of utter terror. I think they must have dropped him...
When they make the toast after KONY, watch Denton during that entire scene. He looks like he'd really rather be somewhere else.
"Dumb and Glumb" but.... so cute! And When he gets pushed by Race, Skittery's head smacks into Mush's nose, and Mush smacks into the person behind him. (Come to think of it, Les was in between them, so he must have been smushed as well! Get it? smushed??)
Watch Kid Blink's reactions to "Since when did you become me mudda?" and "Met this goil last night"! So adorable!!
Racetrack seems pretty used to getting his cigar snitched - its like he sighs, "Thats my cigar..."
Mush has an angle - looking so sad, any fangirl would just die -- "I'll buy your papes, poor lil' Mush!"
Sometimes, I just wish I could jump of piers with Newsies during the Brooklyn scene. Doesn't that water look refreshin'?
David looks like he's about to kill Les when he shouts "Strike!"
Poor poor Kid Blink - I feel so bad when the policeman hits him with the club. That's a heart wrencher - he was only helping Jack! :(
Is it just me, or in the opening scene of CTB when all the boys are waking up - is Bumlets wearing glasses?
