Oliver & Company

A fun animated musical. 'Oliver & Company' isn't anything revolutionary, it follows similar beats to other children/animal Disney films, but the mix of the songs and a heartfelt premise is done very well. The characters here are more than decent, though the voice cast are the reason why they are more memorable than they would otherwise be. Joey Lawrence (Oliver) and Billy Joel (Dodger) are the most notable, but Cheech Marin (Tito), Dom DeLuise (Fagin) and Robert Loggia (Sykes) all give something noteworthy too. I like the animation style for the majority, aside from a few moments where it's a little less rounded off with senseless static backgrounds. The plot, as already noted, is quite hearty yet also funny, with the music keeping things feeling vibrant. Another solid production from this decade of Disney.

My favourite part is when Oliver & Jenny sing You & Me Together. One day in New York City a little kitten got lost. All his brothers and sisters were sold and he was left alone. He wandered about in the city and he saw some paws, it was Dodger the dog. He showed some more of the city to him and then he showed him his friends. Dodger and his friends taught the kitten how to steal money and the kitten got stuck in the car and a girl called Jenny picked the kitten up and held him all the way back home and called him Oliver. Dodger and his friends rescued Oliver and took him back to the place where Dodger showed him his friends. They sent a ransom note to Jenny and she brought her piggy bank and then Fagin kidnapped Jenny. Dodger and his friends and Oliver rescued Jenny and Oliver went to live with Jenny. Written by Bethany.

I think this is one of the greatest Disney films ever, yet it does not get much credit. I mean films like, Toy Story, Cinderella, etc, can be seen often on TV. But I've never seen Oliver and Company on TV, have you? I am 13 and originally viewed it at 6. I loved it then and love it more now! I must have watched it about 100,000,000 times!!!! And I got the soundtrack and am playing now as we speak. My fave character is Dodger, the streetwise, quick talking mutt. I used to jump about on my sofa pretending to be him jumping form car to car. Hey? What's cooler than a dog getting around by standing on a car? I always sing-a-long and I am always being told to be quiet as I am singing sooooo loud my parents can't hear the TV!!!! The songs are all stuck in my head with super-strong superglue! I especially like Why Should I worry and Streets of Gold. Dodger and Rita are so cool. I really love this movie and recommend it!!!!!!!

I just read the previous comment about this being a bad movie and that kind of indirectly hurt my feelings. It's just a nice little movie Disney made for pure entertainment and yes, it is directed toward children. It wasn't intended to be catered toward an adult audience. I also can't see how people can criticize such a nice little movie by picking on the animation and Disney's "incapabilities." Disney is awesome and can do whatever they want in a feature. Maybe they wanted to portray it the way they did. Besides, the focus of the movie is the story. And based on that, it's a touching tale. This will always be one of my favorite childhood movies and no criticism from other drippy movie reviewers will ever make me see it any differently.
