Summary: Widely considered to be the worst disney movie
Review: this disney non-classic(it was part of disney's dark age) is widely consideered to be the worst disney toon. Leonard maltin called it " the grittiest of all the disney movies" he was far from wrong. This film isnt a poor film, its only fair. I guess all good things do happen after bad things. This film was so bad, that it made sense that " The little mermaid" came after it. That was a four star movie. Oliver and company is 2 stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A WONDERFUL DVD RELEASE!
Review: This Disney release is a joy - especially considering the poor film-only DVD releases of late on Region 2 format.

Oliver and Company has been given a quality treatment and the DVD boasts the new technology with an animated menu and sound (not just a static picture). From the menu you can choose your various options including the well-endowed Bonus Features section.

The Bonus Features are fitting and plentiful including a lovely animated short (cartoon) called 'Puss Café' from Disney's Golden Age. The 14 page extensive gallery with conceptual art, character development and layouts makes for good viewing and is a rare peak in to the wonderful making of the film progress which is also documented in an ample featurette.

In addition to these features Disney have also included a short featurette on the theatrical re-release of the film as well as a featurette on the animation of Disney animals throughout Disney history - a gem of a bonus on this disc.

In true Disney style, as on R1 DVD releases, the DVD also has two Sing Along features.

The presentation, detail and consideration that has gone in to this DVD release sets a high standard for the new wave of UK DVDs from Disney. The included documentaries feature interviews with Bette Midler and Billy Joel et al. and are padded with interesting information which fans will welcome.

This film is a historic one for Disney - just note the trial of CGI and rebirth of Disney magic under the omniscient eye of Roy Disney in his foundation attempts to regain dwindling love for the House of Mouse.

A winning feature with no flaws - and many paws.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: my all time favorite Disney Movie.
Review: this film with Hercules, Black Cauldron, Aladdin, Toy Story, Mulan, and Sword in the Stone are all my favorite Disney Movies. if your a child in the 80's like me who grew up with Dark Crystal, Return to Oz, The Last Unicorn, The Hobbit, Labyrinth, Transformers: The Movie and Secret of NIMH then this should be added to your colleciton. it's very entertaining and fun as well, and i would even recommend it to anyone who likes " Con Air" and " Commando", and weither your a Kid or a Teen or a Grown up then you will love this Movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Howling good time
Review: This is my favorite Disney movie of all time. While those words don't exactly give merit to how great this animated film is, they do explain my excitement over the fact it's being released on DVD. Loaded with features, I can't wait to add this to my collection.

A twist on Oliver Twist, Oliver the kitten is orphaned, and left in the street. But he's adopted by a street savvy pack of dogs who help him return to his rightful home.

Every single song is timeless, whether it be by Bette Midler or Huey Lewis or Billy Joel, you're guaranteed to be singing them for days.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best of the contemporary Disney Films
Review: This is one of the only Disney films that I felt didn't insult children's intelligence and the stars that agreed to be in this film knew it. Bette Midler, Billy Joel and others agreed that this film would become a classic and they were right. The music is contemporary in flavor but still appealing to young people. The retelling of Dicken's tale in the big city is the perfect way to present this story to young people. Kudos to Disney.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Oliver and Company!
Review: This is the best Disney cartoons of the 80's beside 'The Fox & The Hound', 'Oliver and Company' has very good characters, the movie is not too long for the kids (For younger kids it may be too intense at the last chasescene), the song are entertaining, the sound effects is great, there is some great computer animations, there are many fine details, and Sykes is one of the best Disney villians ever.
But some of the bad things are the animation, and that Rita's and Dodger's songs are cut down.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I am giving this 3 and a half, ok?
Review: This movie is one of the few Disneys that truly feels modern, and - gasp - all those characters who have American accents are actually meant to have American accents as they are American! (Unlike British settlers, French cats, Chinese females, etc). The animation here is often more blurred and simplified but it suits the movie. And the contemporary scenery looks great. I love all the characters except Jenny who basically is stuck with the cute kid role, but I felt the movie was over too quickly, with everything being resolved too fast. But I loved the music (if this was a musical I'd gladly perform in it - can I be Georgette?) and the bad guy. Yesss! Campaign for more gangsters in Disney! Overall a likeable movie with a nicely contemporary outlook.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Disney Picture ever!
Review: This Movie is the best Disney movie I ever seen. It got everything. I wonder why there is no Part 2 or a TV Series. Like Pocahontas and Hercules. This two movies are never so good as Oliver & Co (so the name in Germany). So Disney, I waiting for a DVD Version in Germany.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Disney Masterpeice (literally!)
Review: This movie is wonderful. It is very original, and all of the Characters are Wonderful. It also has a good soundtrack - 'Why Should I Worry?" "Perfect Isn't Easy" "Streets Of Gold". The Characters are Magnificent, my Favourites being Georgette -yes, yes, the Snobby, Champion Poodle , Tito, the Hyper Chihauhua, and Einstien.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An A+ Movie!
Review: Tito is funny. Dodger and the gang break into Jenny's house to get their cat back. Tito lies to Georgette about his name. If you like this movie I think you should watch The Tonight Show With Jay Leno weeknights at 11:35pm on NBC. And I also think you should Watch Toy Story 2.
