Good Surprise!

Two days ago I was leaving a video rental with three tapes on my hands when I saw this "Oliver Twist". I couldn't hold my curiosity once I really enjoyed the book written by Charles Dickens. I must confess I didn't expect very much of it, but after watching this good animation I concluded it's possible to make good adaptations of great novels in a light and simple way.

my rate 7/10
