Sex & Nudity
Violence & Gore
Profanity
1 to 10

MPAA Rating: PG

Based on the 1899 newsboys' strike in New York City, the film touches on the subjects of child labor and unionism.

SEX/NUDITY 1 - None. There is an innocent romance between the lead character and the sister of his best friend that ends in a rather passionate (for Disney) kiss. Ann-Margaret is a sexy vaudeville singer, but seems more garish than sensual.

VIOLENCE/GORE 1 - A couple of fist fights, Disney-style: No gore.
