I love when they take songs and turn them into music videos from other movies. Couldn't you just see a fan made Harry Potter video based on this song?
I remember this was like one of my favorite movies ever. :D I'm 16 now but this is pretty awesome! Love the song! this song just echoes with memories of watching Old Disney cartoons and watching this of course, and all the other awesome Disney movies that made television go round.
Man, I love this movie and this song. I always sing along with it in the beginning. Who doesn't love this movie and all the songs in the movie? Man these songs are catchy, you can't help but like em.
Omg, we have this old Disney CD FILLED with Disney songs, and when we played it in the car, this started playing <3. And tears started rolling down my cheeks, this was too special [:
This song gives me the biggest Chills and flashbacks of my life, i can clearly remember watching hearing this song and watching the movie on an old tv on the floor with a blamket and all my siblings
you had the soundtrack on cassette too as a kid? and you saw this in theaters back in 1988? i was 7 and i saw it 3 times during it's original release and i had the merchandise such as the soundtrack, stuffed Oliver, Mcdonalds stuff, Readalong book with cassette, pVC toys, junior novel, coloring book etc. did you too had the same stuff? and did you also wondered what happened to it when it didn't show up on video the next year or 7 years
@Johnlindsey289 I did indeed have the casette LOL. Saw it in theaters once but LOVED it. No stuffed Oliver but I did get some of the McDonalds toys and maybe a coloring book. I was a bit miffed that it didnt show up on video I was like wth?!?!?!?!
I Lived in Omaha back in May 88 till May of 1989 before moving to Albuquerque, i still remember the theaters in Omaha and St. Louis. i use to go to my video stores asking if O&C will ever come to video and they didn't know and took 7 years, i did see the re-issue at 14, bought the CD soundtrack and got the movie the first day on video. Weren't the 80's/early 90's a great time to be a kid and the mid-late 90's a great time to be a teen? seen Great Mouse Detective in theaters too?
Oliver & Co. was my favourite childhood film; I watched it again the other day for the first time in years (I'm 16 now) and I cried multiple times! Such an underrated Disney classic! :')
I remember watching this movie first-run in 1988, and it still sends a chill down my spine every time I think about it. This, and "The Little Mermaid," paved the way for Disney's Renaissance--and its invasion of Broadway, a topic that I recently did a presentation on.
Were you 6 years old when it came out? 7 here and i saw it 3 times during it's release in 88 and i had the merchandise from Mcdonalds stuff to Soundtrack. Did you too had the merchandise? this was a hit and so was Great Mouse Detective as both started the golden age. Did you ever wondered what ever happened to this movie when it didn't show up on video the next year on video? i wanted it and had to wait a longass time, did you see the re-issue as well at 14?
@Johnlindsey289 Oh yeah, I was six when I first saw "Oliver and Company;" I saw "The Little Mermaid" and the re-release of "Bambi" in 1989 at the age of seven. I heartily remember all the merchandise and how Disney was trying to form a successful franchise with "Oliver," but "Mermaid" actually became the more successful franchise. Keep in mind, though, that "Oliver" wasn't released on video until 1996.
I know, i was pissed off as a kid when i was 8 as i would ask my city's video stores the next year if it will come to video and they didn't know, i wanted it. It took 7 years and i waited, i saw the re-issue when i was in junior high and also got the soundtrack on CD and got the video. Did you also see Roger Rabbit, Song of the South, Aristocats, Great Mouse Detective, Rescuers, Ducktales Movie as well as a kid? nice to meet another 80s/early 90's kid like me
And Bambi came out in 1988 not 1989, do remember having the Mcdonalds finger puppets and ornuments of this movie plus the soundtrack, readalong book with cassette, stuffed toy from sears, PVC toys, PJs, T-shirt, readalong book with cassette and that kind of thing?
My top 17 disney movies are Pinocchio, Aladdin, Emperor's New Groove, Fox and The Hound, Sword in The Stone, 101 Dalmations, Rescuers 1 & 2, Bambi, Lion King, Mulan, Beauty and The Beast, Great Mouse Detective, Robin Hood, 101 Dalmations, Peter Pan, The Aristocats and Oliver and Company.
I grew up with this movie too since the 80's when i first saw it 3 times when it came out in theaters and having all kinds of cool O&C merchandise including the soundtrack. I was pissed off the next year when it didn't come to video or the next as i would be asking various video stores in my city if O&C will come to video and they didn't know, it just disappeared for 7 years and i wanted it but i never forgotten about the movie and 96 was about time it finally came to video
my favourite ever disney movie (yes i love it more than lion king and mermaid) and its also my fave soundtrack :') This song makes me cry, and so does "good company"... im an 18 year old lad by the way haha!
It's hard to believe that I can relate this to a more cheerier song that's set in a cheerier american city at perhaps a cheerier decade in the 20th century. Can anyone guess what that song is?
I love this song! I remember my friend came over aaaaaages ago and had brought along Oliver and Company and The Fox and The Hound with her. Whilst me and my sister watched this downstairs, she went upstairs and played with my older sister.
I'm i the only one here who saw this great animated comedy classic on the big screen when it came out in the 80's and had the original merchandise including this soundtrack on tape? i can't be the only one.
The most uplifting song ever made...keep your dream alive, dreaming is still how the strong survive, they're getting your place prepared....so beautiful
Well what do you expect from disney, there's no problem in changing some stories like Little Mermaid which had a sad ending originally then went happy no problem. It is an inspired by OT kind of film than true adaptation, but it's a fresh for it's time American take on an old tale as it's the same as Let Me In was a suprisingly good American adaptation of the Swedish vampire novel that was filmed in Sweden as Let The Right One In.
@RobertBigKeyz It's true, they tried to water down the films for younger audiences, or clone Shrek after that film's enormous success. Modern audiences and filmmakers seem to think comedy > heart work and have no idea how to mix the two. OaC had some funny moments, so does Aladdin and B&B and so on, but they have heart too. And I know how people complain about Disney sequels, but in recent years they've been the only films keeping the spirit of Disney animated films alive.
@KNOceanSoul Yeah, but the line "How can anyone stay starry eyed, when it's raining cats and dogs outside, and the rain is saying 'Now you're on your own'?" can be the worst you hear during a broken heart.
this movie is so underrated when i looked at the critics making criticism about this movie it really pissed me off, this movie is one of the examples of why i don't like critics
And Dark Crystal as well but Mick Martin and Marsha Porter gave both Dark Crystal and Labyrinth with The Thing and Oliver and Company good reviews? they made DVD/Video Guide since 1985 with Video Guide. They gave TDC 4 1/2 stars out of 5, Labyrinth 3 1/2, O&C 3 1/2 and The Thing 4 1/2 stars.
I can't watch that bit. I always end up bawling my eyes out. The part where he's tryna keep warm and the box bursts and he nearly falls in to the gutter. I always worry he won't get out even though I know he will.
@cartoonkingforeever 1988 was the theatrical release this movie saw life in 1995 or so when they released it on vhs and in 2008 this movie got a special 20th aniversary release..
96 to be preciously, not 95. It was re-issued on March 29th 96, this movie came out in November/december 1988 and was a surprise box-office hit for disney as the same for Great Mouse detective as both were the origins to the disney renaissance, i was there when it first came out and saw it 3 times when i was 7 and had some merchandise including the soundtrack too bad it disappeared for 7 years since then and i wanted it on video.
@Johnlindsey289 sorry I made a mistake but i was slightly right about the re release to theaters and also it was 1996 when the vhs came back out and also there was a special edition that was released in 2008 and you are right about the original release year and when the movie came out in 1988 also I remember Mcdonalds had special plush christmas things to plug the movie and toys too .
Did you ever see this movie in theaters as a kid too and also wondered what happened to it when it didn't show up on video the next year or for 7 years? besides the film has already got a good DVD release in 2002 which i owned and has great extras, i wish they released this on Blu
Some of you guys don't even know that the man behind the song's lyrics was none other than Mr. Tale as Old As Time himself, Howard Ashman. 3 years after the song was written, Howard lost his battle to complications of AIDS. The latter is the sadder part about this song.
I love love love this song!! I tried to look for it on iTunes, but all it has are versions sang by other people, but Huey's was the best! If anyone had or has any luck, please let me know. Thanks. :)
Me too, i noticed on your an 80's/early 90's kid like me too. Did you ever see this movie on the big screen back in 1988 when you were 7 too and had the same merchandise like i mentioned including soundtrack to Mcdonalds stuff?
I Love This Movie.! And The Sonqq Isz So Awesome.! When I Think Of Thisz Movie I Start To Sinqq Thisz Sonqq. I Hate How I Can't Watch It Cusz My VCR Isz Broken. One Of My Favorite Moviesz Ever. <3
i remember when i first saw this movie when i was a toddler i cried a little whilst listening to this song, seeing the poor kitten eventually left alone to almost drown in the rain.
This version sounds kind of new then the movie one it's just I don't very much like this version and the song starts at the biginning of the movie and it doesn't start like where the Walt Disney Pictures logo shown when the song starts like that, not like in this version, but I get obsessed with this song, but only the movie one is better.
I don't live in New York, however, why does this song make me feel much sader than what I am already?? I guess it just reminds me of myself since May 2, 2010, sorry my boyfriend, Craig broke up with me then, and now just hearing this song reminds me of myself, it's so magical and yet still reminds me of my sorrow while trying to keep my head up high. Besides that, I love this song and the movie!
@GameShowNetwork Hip to Square, song's so catchy most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's NOT just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself!!
@morwenmur because...life goes on...we go through change, theres so many things in the past i look back on and see how everything has changed, sometimes makees me cry cuz I miss it so much
lol i get what you mean and i totally agree...but i just find it so funny that one of the most realistic disney movies is about talking cats and dogs ahahaha
Thumbs up if you watched this movie in 1989!

Did you ever see this movie in theaters as a kid too and also wondered what happened to it when it didn't show up on video the next year or for 7 years? besides the film has already got a good DVD release in 2002 which i owned and has great extras, i wish they released this on Blu

Best. Song. EVER.

Some of you guys don't even know that the man behind the song's lyrics was none other than Mr. Tale as Old As Time himself, Howard Ashman. 3 years after the song was written, Howard lost his battle to complications of AIDS. The latter is the sadder part about this song.

I love love love this song!! I tried to look for it on iTunes, but all it has are versions sang by other people, but Huey's was the best! If anyone had or has any luck, please let me know. Thanks. :)

This version sounds kind of new then the movie one it's just I don't very much like this version and the song starts at the biginning of the movie and it doesn't start like where the Walt Disney Pictures logo shown when the song starts like that, not like in this version, but I get obsessed with this song, but only the movie one is better.

I don't live in New York, however, why does this song make me feel much sader than what I am already?? I guess it just reminds me of myself since May 2, 2010, sorry my boyfriend, Craig broke up with me then, and now just hearing this song reminds me of myself, it's so magical and yet still reminds me of my sorrow while trying to keep my head up high. Besides that, I love this song and the movie!

Just saw this movie again after three years.
I had forgotten how amazing it really was. I only ever heard the Dutch version until then, but I have to say, the English one is much better.
Also, I want to visit New York City some day (and this song makes me wanna even more), though sadly I'm stuck in Holland...

@GameShowNetwork Hip to Square, song's so catchy most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's NOT just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself!!

...What? No, I'm not crying. I just have a bit of nostalgia in my eye.
(seriously, I forgot how awesome this soundtrack is. I can't find the mp3s on Amazon so I may have to buy the actual CD.)
