Oliver & Company

This loose animated musical adaptation of Charles Dickens’s classic Oliver Twist recasts the story with stray animals in modern-day New York, with Oliver an orphaned kitten and Dodger a streetwise dog. Released the year before The Little Mermaid heralded the start of Disney’s animation “renaissance,” Oliver is a charming Disney entertainment in its own right, with Billy Joel voicing Dodger and Bette Midler as a spoiled poodle who sings "Perfect Isn’t Easy."
