Thanks to the predictable British TV schedule at Christmas and the Blu Ray restoration of Bridge On The River Kwai, I kind of had the urge to watch a lot of David Lean movies in recent times. This meant I finally caught the definitive Oliver movie. With this still sitting in my memory, I was quite intrigued to see that Disney had indeed put their spin on the Dickens' classic with Oliver And Company. The first thing to notice about this movie is the setting. Unlike most of the movies where you could struggle to place a period in history, it is clearly set in contemporary New York City. This is another one that can go on the enjoyed pile.
