If the plot of Walt Disney’s animated film Oliver and Company (1988) feels or sounds familiar, it should. It is loosely based upon Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist but this titular character is not a beggar sent to London. This time around, he’s a cute little kitten set about the busy streets of New York City and tries his best to fit in and survive. He is “befriended” by Dodger, an older dog who is streetwise and gets Oliver to aid him in scoring food while keeping the goods for himself. Oliver is understandably miffed by this, but these are the mean streets of New York, after all. He learns a valuable lesson about trusting others who appear to want to help him. Dodger is owned by Fagin and is part of a gang comprised of Tito (a Chihuahua), Francis (a Bulldog), Einstein (a Great Dane), and...

Chicago – Ready to feel old? It’s the 25th anniversary of “Oliver & Company,” 40th anniversary of “Robin Hood,” and 50th anniversary of “The Sword in the Stone.” Maybe I’m showing my age even further by admitting that I would rank the films in order of oldest to newest. “Sword” remains remarkably fun but “Robin Hood” is close behind. Only “Oliver” remains pretty much a waste of time.
Watching all three again was a trip back to my childhood although the journey wasn’t quite as I expected. I remember “Robin Hood” being a little more playful and visually striking. It’s still a decent flick but I found (and my kids agreed) “The Sword in the Stone” to have held up the best of the three. Yes, it’s an imperfect telling of the Excalibur legend but the music is fun and the film contains something too often missing from “lesser” Disney works — joy.
