Oliver & Company (1988)
From Amazon:
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 (read more)

Oliver & Company Movie Review by Zara  (4/4/2007) |

Mostly forgotten, this is a fun cartoon movie that probably would get more credit if it wasn't as dark as it is. Based loosely on the tale of Oliver Twist, a book whose characters were originally human, this time the orphan is a kitten who winds up joining a pack of scavenging dogs.
I love that Billy Joel does the voice...
