Oliver & Company – Wednesday 5th March 2025

I’ve never really had any interest in Disney Animation from the 70s and 80s (probably their least successful period), but I saw some stills on the instagram feed of @wonderfulwoldofcolorpalettes showing Oliver & Company, Disney’s reimagining of Oliver Twist set in New York, starring a stray cat as Oliver, and the art work looked funky!


I’m a big fan of New York City in the 80s (in Cinema), so I figured I’d check it out, and it was actually alright!

It’s not up there with the films from Disney’s renaissance, but it definitely has a charm, and the unpolished art work actually looks better than the bland, super polished look of their current crop of computer generated movies.

If you’re a fan of Disney animation, it’s definitely worth a watch.
