Jane Jenkins and Janet Hirshenson have stated that ''The Outsiders'' "created a new type of filmmaking":
--> "This movie was one of the few Hollywood offerings to deal realistically with kids from the wrong side of the tracks, and to portray honestly children whose parents had abused, neglected, or otherwise failed them."

** Emilio Estevez as an unemployed Greaser who sticks up for anyone being mistreated is a bit amusing when one thinks of his role in ''Film/TheBreakfastClub'' two years later - there he's a privileged [[TheAce Ace]] who's in detention for bullying a runty classmate. He also plays Two-Bit as slightly more eccentric in the film, making him seem slightly reminiscent of his ''Breakfast Club'' love interest - the "Basket Case" Alison Reynolds.

(The movie, on the other hand, is an intentional period piece, as it wasn't made until the 1980s but was still set in 1965.)

** Sodapop doesn't play that big of a role in the novel's plot, but is very well-liked for being a CoolBigBro and a bit of a [[TheWoobie Woobie]]. Some people [[DeathOfTheAuthor outright ignore Hinton's claim]] that [[spoiler:he has fallen in war]], thinking that he didn't deserve an ending like that.
** Two-Bit is also quite well-liked for being {{Adorkable}} and somewhat of a NiceGuy. Especially the movie version, which gives the character trait of [[PeripheryDemographic being a grown-up fan of cartoons]], specifically WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse, which [[ValuesResonance some parts of the fanbase can relate to]].

* MisaimedFandom: Since the novel and movie are basically a gang of TroubledButCute teenage pretty boys, who all have strong emotional reaionashops with each other, readers have gone crazy with the HoYay and belief most of the characters were gay or at least bisexual. Particularly the relationships between Ponyboy and Johnny, Dallas and Johnny, and Sodapop and Steve. Author S.E. Hinton has pushed back on this and says she wrote none of the characters like that. This has gotten her into a few twitter wars with fans.
