    "Newsies" has now been on Broadway for several months and it's been playing to pretty positive reviews. Based on the 1992 cult-favorite film of the same name, the new show brings the charm and catchy music to the live stage.

    Expanding the film into a full stage-worthy musical is obviously no easy task. Alan Menken, who helped create the original songs for the film, returned to work on the new score and create new songs for the musical. Apart from creating new songs, expanding the show also included lengthening some of the existing ones and altering lines to better fit a storyline modified for the stage.

    Not all lines here were modified striclty for the story, though. Fans of the movie who can recall singing along to their cassette decks might find quite a few very minor changes through-out the various numbers that were made to clean up the lyrics and make the very non-risque original lines even more Disney-friendly.

    Below are some of the altered lines. What's your take?

    In 2002, Lilo and Stitch was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards. It lost to Hiyao Miyazaki's now famous Spirited Away, and frankly, I'm annoyed that they were released the same year.

    Since the Oscar category for animated features was introduced, Walt Disney Animation Studios has yet to win. Ironic, as without Disney there would be no animated features.

    Disney still kinda won, as it is Studio Ghibli's distributor in the United States and responsible for bringing us their brilliant Miyazaki films, including the lastest, The Secret World of Arrietty. This and two other Ghibli films made their Blu-ray/DVD debut on May 22, courtesy of Walt Disney Home Entertainment.
