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.

Disney’s Aladdin
the best kids movie is kung fu panda
It maybe kind of an oldie but my children and I enjoy watching the old movie Bednobs and Broomsticks. They enjoy being able to use their imagination and the movie is just as good the first time or the 21st time.
Land Before Time (the first, not all the sequels) – It’s a classic cartoon and it’s got dinosaurs. What’s not to like?
Just finished watching Igor with the kids, I wouldn’t say its for the littler kids, but was great. younger better series of movies would probably be Madagascar 1&2 or Open Season 1&2
Definately Cars – it has Paul Newman!
THE LITTLE MERMAID–best score, good action, really funny for all ages!
I would have to say Cars!
I would say Cars for a cartoon movie and Transformers if you are looking for a non cartoon movie.

shrek
Shreck and Toy Story are two favorites. If I want them to broaden their horizons, I show them Endurance (a Disney docudrama on the world’s greatest distance runner- from Ethiopia. Haile Gebresalasie (two time Olympic Gold medalist, world marathon record holder, and all around good guy) even plays himself in the movie)
The Lion King
The Harry Potter series is a good movie to watch with Dad.
my husband loves the lion king it was such a great movie for kids and dads
WallE would be great
Classic: Peter Pan, its all about the never growing up
Current: Shrek, he does boy things like farting in the water, burping, etc..
My favorite is Disney’s Pinocchio. It’s coming out again soon on DVD. Please accept my entry. Thank you.
Finding Nemo
I think Dads should be able to enjoy any full-length movie their kids are watching, but Disney/Pixar movies in general probably have the most universal appeal.
Inkheart and shrek
Toy Story 2 fits the bill.
Toy Store esepcially the part about the army guys
“Home Alone” is a classic kids and Dads would enjoy!
Shrek
Over The Hedge is hilarious for kids as well as for adults
i love the fox and the hound it a great classic.
I think Shrek is a movie that kids, and parent, yes, even Dads, can all enjoy together!
My boys love Open Season so much that we have viewed it more than 20 times. Over the Hedge seems to be second even though Finding Nemo is a close third.

Wall-E is a classic for the two of us
