| Oliver & Company : 3 of 5 | |

 Another Disney movie I never saw at the theater, and wouldn't really have been interested in if I weren't collecting all the animated feature DVDs. Oliver & Company is basically Oliver Twist told with animals in New York City, and has lots of interesting stuff. First, there's lots of early CG work (for buildings and cars) that works fairly well. Next, all of the songs were done by different composers, and they tried to be really contemporary (right down to using Billy Joel - he even voices one of the main characters!). They also made an effort to keep the dogs realistic (always on all fours), even though they're talking and singing. Overall, it's not super entertaining, but it's still pretty fun. The best part - Bette Midler's rendition of Perfect Isn't Easy sung by a pruning poodle!
