Long ago on November 15th, 1988, the Disney animated film "Oliver And Company" was released into theaters all over the United States. Inspired by the Charles Dickens story "Oliver Twist" the film is about a little orange kitten homeless in 1980s New York City where he joins a pack of street-gang dogs to survive in the mean urban streets, then later gets adopted as a pet by a daughter of rich people. As a teenage boy I managed to watch it once and have since seen it a few times on home video. It is among one of my favorite hand-drawn animated full length features ever to this very day. the characters it were amazing , the story was exciting and funny. The animation was fun was acted and gripping. the songs were astonishing, great voice acting. It had left a great impact on me that still still stands to me this very day. It made me understand the importance of acting and storytelling with cartoon characters through their facial expressions and body language. It made me wish further to be an animator and writer for animated movies
This is my fursona Bluecollie in his feral form (man it is a long time since I drew him in this way) with Oliver the Kitten and Georgette (the show dog poodle who lives with Jenny) from the movie. here I tend to get rather crazy and excited to see Georgette. (I in real life found the poodle character to be attractive even though she was something of a vain self-centered snob.) In turn she is caught rather off guard in her own unique way as Oliver looks on.

"Man, if this is torture, chain me to the wall!"
I remember rewatching that film myself many years after first seeing it. I recognized Tito's voice at once as Cheech Marin's, because it was the same voice as Banzai the hyena in The Lion King.
Manthomex brought the movie's heartbreaking opening scene to mind recently with the first page of one of his comic stories.

thanks for the link to the Manthomex comic. I've read about 22 or so pages into it. it's weird but enjoyable. The beginning does seem inspired by the start of "Oliver and Company", but with the opening panel of the unnamed city looking more unpleasant and dirty than the open shot of New York City in the movie. (Keep in mind that st the time "Oliver and Company was first released NYC was more or less still in being a wretched city of that time of crime and stuff.)
I enjoyed Martin's role as Tito, it was very funny and spirited. I was able to hear Dom Delulse as Fagan. Deluise was in the C'annonball Run movies, as well as having voiced characters in some Don Bluth movies. there was also singer Billy Joel as Dodger, and there was Joey l;awerence, Oliver's voice actor, was at the time a child actor in an American sitcom called "Gimme A Break". I've never been quite familiar with Bette Midler prior to this movie, save of that I remember that I saw a TV advertisement of one of her live action movies, "Ruthless People". Anyway, she blew me away with her voice performance of Georgette. The delightful animation depicting Georgette also helped to draw me to the poodle as well.

Yeah, that musical number was an excellent way to introduce a character for an animated movie. As if the animation and the characters were dynomite enough, so was the music and the songs. It has to be one of my favorite hand-drawn animated movie to feature musical scenes ever so far, next to "The Fearless Four" and "shinbone alley". "Perfect Isn't Easy" was quite an awesome song with a delightful number, the over-the-top Georgette illustrating how she was so vain. Midler's voice and singing fit her perfectly.
I also loved Dodger's rocking "Why Should I Worry" song and Rita's "Streets of Gold", of both which I never seen pop music be showcased in a Disney animated movie so well! Jenny's "Together" song for Oliver was quite beautiful and touching.
