Short description

This animated take on Oliver Twist re-imagines Oliver as an adorable orphaned kitten who struggles to survive in New York City and falls in with a band of canine criminals led by an evil human. First, Oliver meets Dodger, a carefree mutt with street savoir faire. But when Oliver meets wealthy Jenny on one of the gang's thieving missions, his life changes forever.

What's left behind the scenes

The plot is based on Charles Dickens’ novel "The Adventures of Oliver Twist".
Many of the animated objects in the film were created and animated on a computer: cars, taxis, tires, Sykes' limousine, Fagin's bicycle, (part of a scooter and part of a basket), a cement mixer, a sewer channel, a spiral staircase, a piano, subway tunnels and trains.
The cartoon is noted as the first at Walt Disney Company to use computer image processing.
Ratigan from 'The Great Mouse Detective' (1986) can be spotted among the photographs in Georgette's room.
Pongo, the dog from '101 Dalmatians' (1961), can be spotted.
Jock, Peg, and Trusty from 'Lady and the Tramp' (1955) can be spotted at the 11th minute of the film.
A calendar with the date April 21, 1988, hangs on the wall in the ship's cabin. From it, one can understand that the events of the cartoon begin on April 20th and end on April 25th, 1988.
The animated film is noted as the first at the Walt Disney Company to utilize computer-generated imagery.
Ratigan from the animated film 'The Great Mouse Detective' (1986) can be seen among the photographs in Georgette's room.
Pongo the dog from the animated film 'One Hundred and One Dalmatians' (1961) can be spotted.
Jock, Peg, and Trusty from the animated film 'Lady and the Tramp' (1955) can be seen at the 11th minute of the movie.
