BURBANK, Calif., October 20, 2008 – Fall in love with Oliver & Company’s adorable gang of animal outcasts
all over again on February 3, 2009 from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment. Disney’s 27th full-length
animated film celebrates its 20th anniversary in a special edition DVD with enough fun and laughter for the
whole family. Inspired by the classic Charles Dickens novel Oliver Twist, the film boasts a lovable cast of characters and
five infectious original songs from top-tier contemporary talents including Billy Joel, Bette Midler, Huey Lewis
and Barry Manilow. Oliver & Company: 20th Anniversary Edition is filled with hilarious animal antics and
high-energy adventures as one clever kitten leads a pack of resourceful pups against a would-be kidnapper!
This timeless classic lights up the screen with a story of courage and heart, friendship and loyalty and a
songbook filled with unforgettable tunes.
Disney presents an unforgettable musical adventure as Oliver, an adorable stray kitten (voiced by Joey
Lawrence), takes Manhattan by storm! When Dodger (Billy Joel), a street-smart mutt with a weakness for
mischief, befriends the homeless tabby, he introduces his new pal to his pack of pickpocket pooches, run by
the nefarious Sykes (Robert Loggia). Just as Oliver is about to begin a life of crime, he is rescued by a rich girl named Jenny, who takes him home to live in luxury with her and her spoiled poodle Georgette (Bette Midler).
But when Sykes finds out about Oliver’s new benefactor, he hatches a plot to abscond with the little girl and
hold her for ransom. The courageous kitty and his newfound friends must race to the rescue in an electrifying
chase through the city's labyrinthine subway system in order to bring Jenny home. Brimming with music,
humor and adventure, Oliver & Company is sure to delight the entire family.
