Newsies

On Episode 5 of “Sing It, Sister!” Clare and Ellen and special
guest, Margaret Flanagan (!), discuss the 1992 Disney film,
Newsies. What’s not to love?! Well, Clare finds some stuff not to
love. But overall, a super happy episode about a movie that means
a lot to our fam AND can teach kids about labor organizing AND
stars Batman!
