Leave your thoughts about Oliver & Company.
| Washington PostRita KempleyOliver & Company, the directorial debut of veteran animator George Scribner, is Mouse Factory magic with edge. It's the claws ce'le`bre. |
| The Associated PressBob ThomasThe film offers a fanciful, lush urban setting, unusual for Disney animated features, and a couple of good songs, Once Upon a Time in New York City performed by Huey Lewis and Perfect Isn't Easy sung by Midler. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumThe animation is fairly unexciting though serviceable, and the overall mystification of class difference would probably have made Dickens shudder, but kids should find this tolerable enough. |
| Apollo GuideBrian WebsterMore notable for what it isn't than what it is, it's one of the gangly middle children of the Disney animation family, not quite sure how to fit in, or even if it's valued. |
| Kalamazoo GazetteJames Sanford"catchy songs, a cuddly hero, perfectly pleasant" |
| Los Angeles TimesCharles SolomonThe animation is fairly unexciting though serviceable, and the overall mystification of class difference would probably have made Dickens shudder, but kids should find this tolerable enough. |
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelDanger's never clear and present, but rather a convention. Simply put, Oliver & Company didn't work for me not because I'm many years past my sixth birthday but because it never scared me into forgetting that fact. |
| Family Home TheaterJames PlathAt just 74 minutes, Oliver and Company is one of the shortest full-length features from Disney, but there's a lot packed into it. While no one will ever mistake Oliver and Company for one of the Disney's golden oldies, it's still doggone entertaining. |
| Common Sense MediaNell MinowCan't compete with Disney classics, but still fun. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonSuffers from a rote storyline and flat animation. |
