The ULTIMATE Newsies Quiz!

Want to know if you’re the ultimate Newsies obsessie? Well, I can honestly say I’m not, I just purposely took notes one time while watching the movie to make this quiz. So if you’ve noticed everything I have (without planning it ahead of time), then take this quiz to prove yourself as the ultimate Newsies fan!

This quiz consists of 73 questions, each one divided into the scenes or segments they were cited in. The version used to make this quiz was the DVD version, with the 2.35 widescreen frame. The videocassette will not have half of the answers that are on this quiz, so if you only have the movie on video, you will not be able to answer half of the questions on the quiz.

To take the quiz, copy these questions and send them to me via email. I will then check your answers and send you the results. Here is the key on how you will be graded:

73 correct: Congratulations! You are an ULTIMATE Newsies fan; you know where every newsie is at every part of the movie and even notice other details in between!
60-72 correct: Excellent! You obviously pay close attention to the entire movie and like to look out for new things every time you watch.
49-59 correct: Good! You notice a little more than just the guys and always know where your favorite newsie is.
38-48 correct: Not bad. You probably spend more time watching the guys than pay attention to random details, but there's nothing wrong with that!
37 and below: I ORDER YOU TO WATCH THE MOVIE MORE!!!!!!! (and that's a GOOD thing!)
