| DVD Description 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 |

oliver and co . dvd great movie . great price and as always great service . keep up the good work
Great family oriented fun, but not one of Disney's absolute greatest. First of all, It's great movie. It has catchy songs, lovable charecters, and finely portrayed setting. The plot was a little questionable, particularly at the end. Stuff happens that really just doesn't make sense, such as a car getting it's tires scraped off from subway rails and having the exposed wheels ride on the rails perfectly. Also the antagonist is a little too evil. Now you might say, "he's the antagonist, he's supposed to be evil!" but seriously, the way he over-reacts to the smallest of things is just downright corny. For example: grabbing his gun before greeting a pizza delivery person just because he didn't order it.
Those are the negative aspects, but I'm sure any kid below the age of 13 isn't even going care about those. The rest of the movie leading up to the end is a great Disney classic.
Great characters If I could, I would rate this film 3.5 stars. It was okay. Not as good as other Disney movies, but okay. However, the characters were great. I personally liked Tito and Francis best. Georgette was also great. Tito was a spunky, fearless chihuaha (I know that's spelled wrong) and Francis was an intelligent-talking dog with a taste for high-class items. Then Georgette was an egomaniacal ("Perfection is Me") pampered poodle whom is also hilarious.
As for the other characters, they were good, too. The homeless guy, Fegin, was okay, just kind of pathetic. I didn't like the part when he wrote that ransom note and lied to Jenny about finding Oliver. It just didn't seem . . . right for a "good" guy to do.
The movie as a whole? Well, like I said, not as good as the other Disney movies, but it defintely has something going for it: great, rememberable characters.
