Review: Imagine a version of Charles Dickens' classic tale, "Oliver Twist," with cats and dogs in the lead roles. And what do you have; Disney's 27th animated masterpiece "Oliver & Company." Which is really more about friendship, than the conflict caused by the films' villain; Bill Sykes. That "conflict" begins around the end of the movie, though we do see him at the beginning of the movie, he doesn't seem to be that important at this point. As the film continues, Sykes doesn't show up much, and wont show up until about a half hour later. And unlike Stromboli, whom established a full personality and character in his one scene, Sykes is horribly developed. I think he's some kind of mob boss of some kind, this is not explained in the picture and neither is his motive. I liked the movie, and I don't think it would have been a good idea to have emphasised on the Sykes part of the film, but since we're reviewing the villains here, I think a C- is an appropriate grade.
