ericadawn16I'm so excited!!!!!
Oliver & Company is coming out August 6!
25th Anniversary
TWO DISC
BLU-RAY!!!!!
YAY!!!!
What you don't understand is that from age five until age age ten when Jurassic Park came out, Oliver & Company was my favorite movie EVER. It was still my favorite Disney film until I was eleven and The Lion King came out.
It's quintessentially Eighties but with all those things that we would come to associate with the second great age of Disney animation aka under Katzenberg era...
Celebrity voices?
Bette Midler
Billy Joel
Cheech Marin
Dom DeLuise
Richard Mulligan
and an EXTREMELY young Joey Lawrence.
Music done by those easily found in the Pop Top 40 lists?
Barry Manilow writes one of the songs and Huey Lewis, Billy Joel, Bette Midler and Ruth Pointer do the singing...
CGI?
1988, but yeah, the epic boss car chase uses a lot of CGI.
People always say the second golden age started with The Little Mermaid but to me, it started the year before.
The funny thing is that many of the things I love about it and what became standard in animated films later are what Siskel and Ebert argue over in this clip, including celebrity voices, complicated plots, whether orphans are too downer for children's stories, etc.
Okay, have something twisted...it's the song "Thrift Shop" using clips from the film and really well done:
This is one of my songs and parts from the film:

I saw it in the theater and was OBSESSED WITH IT. And then it didn't come out on video for like 15 years? IT JUST VANISHED. I was so perplexed.
Why Should I Worry is still one of my favorite Disney songs of all time.

Francis was my favorite, now it seems so obvious...a bulldog obsessed with Shakespeare especially Macbeth...
