At least you mock your coolness factor in highschool. leggylulu and i didn't actually get into this movie until our post-highschool days, in 2002. Yes that's right folks. Way after most people have stored this away in there "I will love this forever archives" we manage to discover the joy found in alternating singing lines of "Carrying the Banner" and actually learning both parts when they sing them simultaneously (tho we never really got that down fully) Not to mention alternate versions such as "carrying bananas" (oh the hilarity!)
In short: I love newsies, and feel inexplicably better about myself, knowing that there are others out there...
