Oliver & Company

• Animation
• Comedy
• Family

In the vibrant sprawl of 1980s New York City, a charming kitten named Oliver navigates a surprising found family amongst a crew of streetwise dogs led by the charismatic Dodger. This animated musical playfully reimagines Dickens’ *Oliver Twist*, prioritizing a heartwarming, feel-good adventure over the source material’s grimness, centering on Oliver’s dual desires for belonging – first with the canine pack, then with a kind, affluent girl named Jenny. The film distinguishes itself through its unique blend of animal camaraderie and a lighthearted exploration of class differences, underscored by a distinctly energetic and stylized aesthetic. It's a buoyant story where the threat of a menacing dogcatcher and a ruthless loan shark provides gentle tension rather than genuine peril, ultimately offering a comforting portrayal of unconventional families and the joyful discovery of home.
