* Los Angeles:
* The majority of the film was shot on soundstages and backlots at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank. This included the interior shots of the newsroom, the dance sequences, and many of the exterior scenes, including the fictional "Newspaper Row."
* Some exterior scenes were filmed in various locations around Los Angeles, such as Griffith Park and Union Station.
* New York City:
* A few scenes were filmed in New York City to provide authentic cityscapes. These included shots of the Brooklyn Bridge and the New York Public Library.
While the film is set in New York City during the 1899 newsboys' strike, most of the filming took place in Los Angeles for practical reasons.
