Oliver and Company is a
story about a cat name Oliver who is left alone and hungry
on the streets of Manhattan. When Oliver gets sidetrack by
the smell of hot dogs from a vendor he runs across I slick
talking mutt name Dodger. After making a successful steal
Dodger tries to make off with hot dogs but Oliver never kept
him out of his site and follows him to get his half of the
deal. When Oliver try to sneak in to confront Dodger he
eventually ends up meeting the gang, which are Tito
(Chihuahua), Einstein (Great Dane), Rita (Saluki) and
Francis (Bulldog). The fun is just starting, as Oliver and
the gang take you on a wild adventure to help Oliver save
Jennifer from the evil man name Skyes whom Fagin owe money
to.
This movie is fantastic and
the story is told well, but the interesting thing about this
movie are the characters. The character give you that kind
of groovy feeling, attraction, and fun. Each character is
very unique which makes the audience love them every single
minute throughout the movie. The sound is loud and clear,
the colors are amazing and the whole movie experience on
this DVD is worth seeing. When Dodger started singing I felt
like a kid again as I watched the movie and sing along with
it. This movie brings the kid out of you just like any other
Disney movie that you may have watch in your life.
Oliver and Company will
always be a classic animation just like the rest of the
Disney movies. It shows you the importance of family values,
love, emotions, and also cultural aspects of what you may
see still to this day. This DVD is well designed and full of
extra things for the audience to see.
