Burbank, Calif., October 17, 2008—Fall in love with Oliver & Company’s adorable gang of animal outcasts all over again on February 3, 2009 from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment. Disney’s 27th full-length animated film celebrates its 20th anniversary in a special edition DVD with enough fun and laughter for the whole family. Brilliant animation, a fantastic soundtrack and the amazing voice talents of Billy Joel, Bette Midler, and Huey Lewis, put Oliver & Company on track to win the hearts of a whole new generation.
Disney presents an unforgettable musical adventure as Oliver, an adorable stray kitten (voiced by Joey Lawrence), takes Manhattan by storm! When Dodger (Billy Joel), a street-smart mutt with a weakness for mischief, befriends the homeless tabby, he introduces his new pal to his pack of pickpocket pooches, run by the nefarious Sykes (Robert Loggia). Just as Oliver is about to begin a life of crime, he is rescued by a rich girl named Jenny, who takes him home to live in luxury with her and her spoiled poodle Georgette (Bette Midler). But when Sykes finds out about Oliver’s new benefactor, he hatches a plot to abscond with the little girl and hold her for ransom. The courageous kitty and his newfound friends must race to the rescue in an electrifying chase through the city’s labyrinthine subway system in order to bring Jenny home. Brimming with music, humor and adventure, Oliver & Company is sure to delight the entire family.
The 20th Anniversary Edition comes with animated shorts, behind–the-scenes featurettes and an all-new game that
the parents and kids will love to play together. Inspired by the
classic Charles Dickens novel Oliver Twist, the film boasts a lovable
cast of characters and five infectious original songs from top-tier
contemporary talents including Billy Joel, Bette Midler, Huey Lewis and
Barry Manilow. Oliver & Company: 20th Anniversary Edition is filled
with hilarious animal antics and high-energy adventures as one clever
kitten leads a pack of resourceful pups against a would-be kidnapper!
This timeless classic lights up the screen with a story of courage and
heart, friendship and loyalty and a songbook filled with unforgettable
tunes.
