Amazon.com: Disney does Dickens in this animated version of Oliver Twist, in which a homeless New York City cat falls in with a bunch of mischievous dogs under the leadership of the appealing scoundrel Fagin. The roots of Disney's success with animation in the '90s begins with this clever, energetic, atmospheric movie, which succeeds in capturing the grim world Dickens conjured. Lyricist Howard Ashman (The Little Mermaid) worked on the songs, the best of which is sung by Billy Joel, who provides the voice of (the Artful) Dodger. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - There's no better movie out there
This was a favorite of my childs and quickly became one of mine. Thank You Amazon for having it (can't find it in a store) and getting it to me quickly.
Rating: - Highly recommeded
My three year old absolutely adores this movie and watches it over and over again. I love the music and don't mind it when she does watch it so many times. Compared to the music in some of the children's videos she watches, this one is very enjoyable to listen to and when the songs get stuck in my head, as they often do when I hear it so many times in a row, I don't mind at all. Beats the heck out of "I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map..."! I would highly recommend this movie as it is very entertaining for the little ones who seem to enjoy it every time they watch!
Rating: - This is the only movie i've ever seen in the theatre a second time immediatly after it was finished
Just to put this all in context...i was 5 years old, living on Long Island NY (where Billy Joel is from) and this movie was absolute magic to me. Maybe it was because it was set in New York City, maybe it was because Billy Joel (a hometown hero) was the voice of one of the main characters and sang a great song. Who knows. All i know is that me and my sister begged my father to see it again as soon as it was finished and he gave in (which was unusual for him). So pretty much this movie is like chistmas morning as a child to me.
Rating: - Good additon to movie collection
