In the world of Netflix and Hulu and Amazon Prime, it's easy to get lost in the same shows each time you sit down to watch something for a few hours. But, here are a few reasons you should break that cycle to watch Disney's remake of "Newsies," which is now on Netflix for your viewing convenience and pleasure.

Hit after hit, you'll be wishing you could sing along on the first watch.

So much great dancing, spinning, jumping and moves you could never do but want to try.

At first, you love to hate him, and then you just love to love him.

4. The rewrite

Love the classic? The writers were sure to keep what you loved, and add more to take in.

5. The New York accents

Dey ain't doing that ta me!

6. The set design

Simple and clever, just like our Newsies.

7. Our newsies

19. The jokes

"I'll be living on the streets." "You already live on the streets." "A worse street."

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating.
