Disney Animated Movie Review: **^ Oliver & Company (1988)

 Oliver and Company was made during the time when disney had sort of lost their way.  Several of their movies were not up to their usual quality, and Oliver and Company is one of them.  This is a take on Olive Twist with a cat as Oliver and dogs as the other members of the gang.  There is a Bill Sykes and a Fagan.  Sykes and his two dogs are very much the bad guys as they are true criminals.  Fagan for his part is more a wantabe criminal but has too much heart.

Billy Joel plays the Dodger, Joey Lawrence plays Oliver.  The other dogs are voiced by Cheech Marin, Richard Mulligan, Roscoe Lee Browne, Sheryl Lee Ralph and Bette Midler.  The girl who takes Oliver in is played by Natalie Gregory, Fagan by Dom Deluise and Sykes by Robert Loggia.
