Reviews for Oliver and Company
By Mario 
To
most people, The Aristocats is Disney's worst animated movie ever. Or it could
even be The Black Cauldron. However, out of all the average movies Disney's
ever done, Oliver and Company takes the cake as being their weakest, most poorly
plotted movie ever.
Appealing to only the youngest set,
Oliver and Company is a collection of all the usual bland stereotypes and paint-by-numbers
storytelling. The characters aren't at all interesting, especially Oliver himself,
who's as ordinary as a cat could possibly be. The movie tries to go for all
the usual elements of heart, energy and song, but each one of these seem forced
and weak. The animation is stiff and inexpressive, and some of the scenes come
off as being inappropriate in a Disney movie that tries to pass itself off as
one of their cuter movies, such as the inclusion of the menacing gangster-like
villain Sykes.
Made only one year before The Little
Mermaid and exactly the same year as Don Bluth's The Land Before Time, Oliver
and Company is completely inferior to both.

Pay no attention to Mario. Oliver &
Company is a good movie. Despite the fact that "Once Upon a Time in New York
City" and "Good Company" made me cry, the movie was good. One,
we get to see New York the way it was. (I mean before Bin Laden smashed some planes
into the Twin Towers.) Two, it's the first time Billy Joel has actually acted
in a movie. Three, i like kittens. Four, Tito's presence. Tito is swell. He actually
got Georgette to like him in the end. It would've been better if he decided to
take his chances with her. Then agian, he couldn't be with that other chihuahua
with the head of Sarah Jessica Parker. She's a New Yorker too. And finally, the
big reason i like "Oliver and Company." (drumroll) Rita! She proves
to me what a voice she's got by singing "Streets of Gold." And everytime
i think of her. She's winking at me, like she did to Oliver after saying, "Relax,
kid." The only disadvantage is there's no plans for a sequel. I dreamed there
was one planned, but i'd have to wait until 2066 in order to see it. It probably
meant that Disney will go out of business someday before anybody can sequelize
"The Aristocats" "Scamp's Adventure" and "The Fox and
the Hound."

Hey, I think "Oliver & Company" is maybe
not Disney's best animated movie ever made, but it has it's qualities. First of
all: Billy Joel as Dodger! What a voice! "Streets of Gold" was also cool, but
only if you hear the CD-Version. And I think, Rita is a VERY sexy dog, don't ya
think? The Animation...oh, well...the Animation... Well, the movie looks like
one of the older Disney features (e.g. "Aristocats" or "The Jungle Book"), sometimes
it makes the film look dirty (but we're in New York, so I think, dirt is realistic).
I also liked Sykes, the villain. He's really scary and this death is (in my opinion)
very brutal for a animated feature. Let me say: "Oliver & Company" is fun!
Pure fun to watch on a rainy day!

An all star cast is included in this delightful animated
Disney movie, that is located in New York City, and based upon Charles
Dicken's novel Oliver Twist.
A homeless kitten befriends the lovable street dog Dodger (Billy Joel)
and his friends, who lives in a house boat with their owner, the poor
man Fagin, who is in the hand of the evil gangster called Sykes, while
the dogs fight against his two evil Dobermann's called Desoto and
Roscoe.
The animation is old fashioned, but there are many details in the
movie, the songs are outstanding, especially Why Should I Worry, and Streets
Of Gold.
If you love movies about New York City, you will love this one, but
it's not a movie for smaller kids, the villains are really tough, and the
final chase is wild.
