Product Description
From Amazon.com
Disney does Dickens in this animated version of Oliver Twist, in which a homeless New York City cat falls in with a bunch of mischievous dogs under the leadership of the appealing scoundrel Fagin. The roots of Disney's success with animation in the '90s begins with this clever, energetic, atmospheric movie, which succeeds in capturing the grim world Dickens conjured. Lyricist Howard Ashman (The Little Mermaid) worked on the songs, the best of which is sung by Billy Joel, who provides the voice of (the Artful) Dodger. --Tom Keogh

Great movie - not quite what I expected,

This review is from: Oliver and Company (DVD)
This is a very good movie! I did not realize that there are two versions of this movie. I must not have remembered the movie very well, so I thought it could be a different version. Apparently, both the 1988 and the 2008 versions are similar. It has quite a few good songs and is mostly appropriate for children. I like the Good Company song (that I did not expect to be on it). I love the song Once Upon a Time in New York City. I like how in both Oliver & Company and in Annie, Oliver has a big fancy house on 5th Avenue.Overall, this is this is probably my second favorite movie after Annie. I also like the Little Princess and the Secret Garden. I do not like violence or bad language, so it was nice that there was not much fighting. I love songs and musicals, which is important in making this a good movie. Having a few words in Spanish and French made it more interesting as I love languages. There is also a happy ending that teaches good morals.

Cute but to much competition,
By JediMack (VALRICO, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oliver and Company: Special Edition (Widescreen) (DVD)
We rank this 26 out of 41 animated Disney movies that we own. It is an average 3 star movie that the family liked. We with 25 Disney movies that they like better, it seldom gets watched anymore.We had a lot of fun by gathering the family together to rank the 41 Disney movies we have that include some cartoon work. All the kids, ages 6 to 27, participated along with mother and dad. Lion King was selected number 1 of the 41 as the family favorite, but narrowly. Peter Pan was 2. Pete's Dragon 3, Beauty & the beast 4, Sleeping Beauty 5, Snow White 6, Robin Hood 7, 101 Dalmatians 8, Fox and the hound 9, Cinderella is 10th, Rescuers 11, Hunchback of ND 12, Aladdin 13, Aladdin King of Thieves 14, Jungle Book 15, Little Mermaid 16, Hercules 17, Winnie the Pooh 18, Rescuers Down Under 19, Sword in the Stone 20, Pinocchio 21, Mulan 22, Mary Poppins 23, Lady and the Tramp 24 and Aristocats 25.

A Good Disney Musical with a lot of Class. NYC Style.,
By Ryne Williams (Cleveland, TN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oliver and Company: Special Edition (Widescreen) (DVD)
Before the success of such phenomenal Disney musicals like Beauty and the Beast and the Little Mermaid, Oliver & Company came along. This film totally embodies the eighties with its music, voice talent, and art direction. The music is very good. The songs are very hip and cool. The animation is exciting, and the plot grabs you and sometimes you feel as if you are watching a regular caper movie than an animated film. An exciting Disney ride that is fun for everybody. I highly reccomend this film.
