D23 announces a new screening series as a part of its ever-growing roster of special events for its members. Our new From the Vaults film screenings is dedicated to favorite films created by Disney that the D23 team is excited to share on the big screen once again. We are kicking off this new series with a 20th anniversary screening of the 1992 Disney film musical Newsies.
D23 is happy to offer its members (and their guests) the opportunity to see the music-filled film at the historic Walt Disney Studios (presented in the state-of-the-art, 400-seat, Studio Theatre).
Released two decades ago, the film, which followed the real-life newsboy strike of 1899 in New York City and stars Christian Bale and Robert Duvall, wasn’t an instant hit. However, through the years the film has gained a fan following for its impressive songs, exuberant production numbers and timeless tale of good triumphing over greed. The movie’s latter-day popularity recently inspired a stage version, which opened in September of 2011 and received rave reviews at New Jersey’s Paper Mill Playhouse.
The film features a musical score by Oscar® winner and Disney Legend Alan Menken and also marked the directorial debut of Kenny Ortega, who had choreographed movies like Footloose and Dirty Dancing and went on to helm the High School Musical series, as well as last year’s Michael Jackson concert film, This Is It.
The movie event will also feature a limited selection of D23 merchandise and a special gift just for each D23 Member who attends, as well as the opportunity to mix and mingle with your fellow D23 Members at the Walt Disney Studios!
