72 right...............Congratulations! You're as obsessed as me!
60-71 right..........Great job! You're an official Newsies freak! (that's a good thing...)
50-59 right..........Pretty good
40-49 right..........Okay, but you can do better! Watch the movie and take the quiz again!
30-39 right..........You might want to watch the movie a few more times...
20-29 right..........No offense, but these questions really weren't that hard
10-19 right..........Your score makes me very sad. I seriously hope you didn't try that hard
