Current Events > Was Oliver and Company a good Disney movie?

(+) Yeah! (+)

why should I worry is a slapper of a song

Yes

Also had deaths

It's... okay. Why Should I Worry is easily the best part. Aside from that it's typical 80s era Disney: reasonably fun but predictable and kind of generic looking. The animation quality is also low compared to stuff like Aladdin but it's not terrible or anything.

If it looks like the kind of movie you'd like, and you don't go in with super high expectations, you'll probably enjoy it.

Its aight

pretty bottom tier for Disney, which is higher tier than most animation companies

I think it is, but then again I have bias since I grew up watching Disney movies like that and Rescuers Down Under instead of the more popular ones.

I want someone to kill me during the poodle song.

I enjoy it. I like good company almost as much as why should I worry.

it's okay. Why Should I Worry is easily a top tier Disney song, so it has that going for it.

Opinions range from "forgettable" to "my favorite Disney movie." If I had to give it a grade, I'd give it a B-. So, yeah, definitely good.

It came about during that weird period when Disney was trying to reinvent itself. They weren't quite sure yet what a modern Disney animated movie was supposed to be in relation to the animated films of the golden era. Were they supposed to be darker? Scarier? Sexier? More violent? More depressing? Happy as ever? They were still trying to find out.

The film has tonal whiplash and the story is slightly stifled by an overabundance of characters. The film has 14 characters in a movie lasting barely over an hour. And it feels like that number was condensed down as Jenny's parents never actually appear. Even if they resolved that issue, it still had issues with placing bright and colorful characters against a dingy backdrop. It's like letting the cast of 101 Dalmatians or Aristocats loose in a Ralph Bakshi movie.

Whatever flaws it may have, I think they did an amiable job of trying to reconcile the impossible demands of channeling the brightness and optimism of 1950s animation for the cynical 1980s. They may have fallen short of their goal to make the Lady and the Tramp of the modern era, but I'm not sure that anyone else could have done much better.

Also, I just realized that Dodger's crew are pretty much a reimagining of the Pound Dogs from Lady and the Tramp.
