 Underrated Disney classic gets the DVD treatment October 12, 2005

During the 80's, the studio hit an artistic, creative, and commercial slump. However, I still find that I quite enjoy Disney's 80's films, many of which experimented with computer animation, non-musical storylines, and different source materials. One of my favorite pre-Little Mermaid 80's Disney films is Oliver and Company. Boasting a soundtrack filled with great songs and a wonderful cast of characters, Oliver and Company finally gets the DVD treatment, albeit a less-than-stellar one.
For one, the transfer is good, but it could be much better and it has a fair amount of grain.
The bonus features could have been much better as well. A few fluff EPK-type featurettes, which are nice, but still fluffy, are sadly enough the meat of the bonuses. Also included, fortunately, are the original trailer, original TV spot, and the 1995 re-release trailer. Two sing-alongs are included as well as two classic Disney short cartoons.
Overall, it's nice to see Oliver and Company on DVD at last. This is probably the best DVD edition Disney will give it for at least a while, so if you're considering picking it up, go for it.
 Horrible, horrible, horrible! January 3, 2006

This was probably one of the worst Christmas presents I've received, although not to sounds mean, I truly appreciate it and the person who gave it to me knows it and he even knows I wouldn't really like it much, but that I am making a Disney DVD collection and want to own all of the classics.
The film is crummy, with poor structure, horrible vocal talents, a terrible storyline and nothing like the Disney we once knew. There's no way this poor adaptation of Dickens' classic could ever be a real Disney classic. Another Disney '80s failure.
Wouldn't even recommend it to a Disney fan.

Although this was a cool movie,the potrayal of Dobermans was unfair
A WONDERFUL DVD RELEASE! October 25, 2001

This Disney release is a joy - especially considering the poor film-only DVD releases of late on Region 2 format. Oliver and Company has been given a quality treatment and the DVD boasts the new technology with an animated menu and sound (not just a static picture). From the menu you can choose your various options including the well-endowed Bonus Features section. The Bonus Features are fitting and plentiful including a lovely animated short (cartoon) called `Puss Cafe' from Disney's Golden Age. The 14 page extensive gallery with conceptual art, character development and layouts makes for good viewing and is a rare peak in to the wonderful making of the film progress which is also documented in an ample featurette. In addition to these features Disney have also included a short featurette on the theatrical re-release of the film as well as a featurette on the animation of Disney animals throughout Disney history - a gem of a bonus on this disc. In true Disney style, as on R1 DVD releases, the DVD also has two Sing Along features. The presentation, detail and consideration that has gone in to this DVD release sets a high standard for the new wave of UK DVDs from Disney. The included documentaries feature interviews with Bette Midler and Billy Joel et al. and are padded with interesting information which fans will welcome. This film is a historic one for Disney - just note the trial of CGI and rebirth of Disney magic under the omniscient eye of Roy Disney in his foundation attempts to regain dwindling love for the House of Mouse. A winning feature with no flaws - and many paws.
Cute but to much competition August 12, 2003

We rank this 26 out of 41 animated Disney movies that we own. It is an average 3 star movie that the family liked. We with 25 Disney movies that they like better, it seldom gets watched anymore.We had a lot of fun by gathering the family together to rank the 41 Disney movies we have that include some cartoon work. All the kids, ages 6 to 27, participated along with mother and dad. Lion King was selected number 1 of the 41 as the family favorite, but narrowly. Peter Pan was 2. Pete's Dragon 3, Beauty & the beast 4, Sleeping Beauty 5, Snow White 6, Robin Hood 7, 101 Dalmatians 8, Fox and the hound 9, Cinderella is 10th, Rescuers 11, Hunchback of ND 12, Aladdin 13, Aladdin King of Thieves 14, Jungle Book 15, Little Mermaid 16, Hercules 17, Winnie the Pooh 18, Rescuers Down Under 19, Sword in the Stone 20, Pinocchio 21, Mulan 22, Mary Poppins 23, Lady and the Tramp 24 and Aristocats 25.
