Oliver and Company is one of my favorites! I know it's unpopular and not really Disney's best movie, but the story is so good and the music is so catchy. And who doesn't love Dodger? 😜

[@yntbox79]

DODGER!!!

[@sandrixhozart7838]

It's thy Dodger man, today in my imagination thought supposed to be his bday

[@stainshield]

What happen what was Disney released it on the same day as The Land Before Time.

[@leonardsalinas2002]

Emily Chesteen it’s one of my favourite Disney movies but it is underrated but I consider it a cult classic

[@pablomontanez7427]

Oliver & Company is soo underrated. One of the best in my list 🙌🏼

[@HeyItsAlyssa94]

This is my favorite underrated Disney movie! I always loved the opening and the opening song. Also, the musical montage when Penny officially adopts Oliver and takes him to the part. UGH SO GOOD.

[@matthaddock1817]

It's actuall Jenny. You're confusing names with The Rescuers.

[@516tigergirl]

Oliver and Campany is my absolute favorite Disney movie. I love Oliver. I like both cats and dogs but I'm more of a cat person. My mom told me that when I was little I never leave home without my Oliver doll. One thing I remembered doing with my Oliver doll I have is whenever I go to grandparents house, I pretend to to be Jenny with my Oliver doll. My grandparents has an old piano that I pretend to play like the movie. Plus I got this awesome picture that was made for me (I think, it has my name on it) of Oliver, when I went to Disney World the first time. I proberly watch the movie a thousands times when I was little, so thanks for doing Oliver and Campany this month,

[@gurlwithglasses01]

[@ChrisFarleyisGod]

I cant listen to/ watch the "good company" scene without literally bawling my eyes out...esp if my dog is sitting next to me

[@PatrickDougall]

I LOVE OLIVER AND COMPANY!!!! THANKS BABE!!!

[@SarahSterling]

YW BABE

[@PatrickDougall]

...But like who is Sarah Sterling? :P

[@SarahSterling]

who is she

[@yntbox79]

I know right

[@jessemoore8814]

This movie is the reason that my cat's name is Oliver!

[@1ANAHI]

I love Oliver and company! it's seriously one of my favorite movies ever! first movie I remember crying to lol

[@StevenMartinOfficial]

@ErikaTorres Same \m/

[@alli249]

Such an underrated movie! The characters of this movie are so great and the music is obviously so iconic.

[@OttaviaBurton5893]

I hope you do The Nightmare Before Christmas someday!

[@glambert169507]

Please do either Brother Bear, Sword in the Stone or Fantasia next :)

[@caronhorttor7707]

I love Oliver and Company. I remember when it came out and didn't know it made way for the Disney Renaissance. Congratulations on finishing Vedia !

[@jenneyefer86]

I'm a huge Howard Ashman fan and I actually had no idea he wrote a song in this movie. That was neat to find out. I love this movie as well, I agree that it's super underrated

[@emma.328]

I've never seen Oliver and Company, but now I know that I need to watch it asap!

[@alexandragblessing]

Aww I looove Oliver and Company. It really is underrated. Thanks for making this, Sarah!

[@hpboy13]

Great episode - I love Oliver & Company, and wish it wasn't so overlooked. Do Sword in the Stone next please!

[@stainshield]

Me too and the reason why it was overlooked was because of The Land Before Time.

[@wh4ddupp]

Oliver and Company is one of my favorrritteee Disney movies since I was a kid. Billy Joel in it makes it 10x better (he's just so sacred to New Yorkers)

[@sandtalon56]

I am a huge Billy Joel fan and to have a Disney Animated film with him playing an integral character makes me happy. Thanks for giving Oliver and Company a shout out it deserves!

[@Jojo-jg1pz]

I'm interested in knowing the "disness" of Meet the Robinsons. I know it's not animated but I love how they use one of Walt's quotes to make the film.

[@andrewwilliams8638]

The Genesis Journey technically it is animated just in cg

[@Emisop]

... But it is animated... The only non-animated thing in the movie was a picture of Tom Sellic. (I know I spelled it wrong)

[@sophicarne]

That picture slays me every time!

[@emmybm15]

I bloody love Oliver & Company 😁❤ (Then again love the source material as well ❤) "One of the most underrated Disney soundtracks" so true! 😁❤ Had it on VHS so I've seen it so many times ❤❤❤❤❤

[@SmoothestCriminal12]

please do Princess and the Frog!

[@andreabarnett9980]

Seconding this! It's such an underrated movie. (And it's cultural importance alone is enough to fill an entire video.)

[@jordiekay175]

I love Billy Joel! My favorite singer of all time! Thanks for doing this movie, I love it!

[@thewheekly8]

Jordie Kay, same here! I freakin love that man!!!

[@hannahscamera9709]

I freakin love this movie best soundtrack

[@theunicornmouse5424]

I love this movie! Our first cat (a rescued homeless kitten) is named Oliver. He's 14 years young now. Love your channel Sarah! ❤😊

[@kolooart]

Oliver And Company is soo underrated! It needs more recognition

[@alyssacurran747]

Oliver and Company is one of my top favorite Disney movies! It's so underrated but I love it! Why Should I Worry is such a good song too. I wish it got more attention

[@WorldAccordingtoEmma]

I love that you hop around to different decades!

[@downhomesunset]

this is my favourite animation film of all time. It is a huge disapointment that Disney won't put out films like this anymore

[@tickedoffnow]

It's honestly one of the Best Movies from 1988

[@annabelyates5219]

One of my favourite movies!!! 😍😍

[@natalieruiz7406]

Oliver is so incredibly cute! Definitely an underrated Disney film.

[@annacairns]

Have you looked at The Black Cauldron? I liked it, from what I remember it's a bit dark.

[@hellogoodbyeandallinbetween]

That scene at the start where he doesn't get adopted hurts my heart every time. I've a soft spot for this movie definitely. Good to know it influenced the Disney renaissance ☺

[@akcezz2011]

also ruth pointer of the pointer sisters plays rita and sings streets of gold

[@andrewwilliams8638]

akcezz2011 nice to know never really payed attention to the cast of this film

[@meenalynn4283]

i had to pause half way through because thinking about Oliver & Co. for too long makes me start bawling. its definitely one of my favorites, but that first scene with "Once Upon A Time in New York City" is too much. i cant deal.

[@alexandramarie0703]

Oliver & Company was one of my favorite movies as a kid! I would watch it repeatedly. I still listen to the soundtrack on repeat some days. I loved seeing the episode! 😍❤️

[@mysterion3182]

I think Oliver & Company is underappreciated. It was one of my favorite Disney movies as a kid and still is today. I love the song "Why Should I Worry".

[@Vashtrigunfan]

I love Oliver and Company, I wish they would have gone even darker, but even as a Disney film, it is a tad on the dark side. Great Score and good memories.

[@takebackthefalls7392]

So glad someone else sees Oliver and Company's hand in the Disney Renaissance! People definitely don't give this movie enough credit, it's one of my favorites :)

[@tinkbelle2061]

This was the Movie my daughter first Fell in Love with!!! The little girl, her little kitty!!!

[@CreativeReptiles]

im so happy u did this. oliver and company is my all time childhood movie and so underrated

[@jjgillmen]

I saw Oliver and Company as a six-year old in 1988. It was truly an underrated movie that started the Disney Renaissance.

[@meganamy8154]

It would be cool if you did Princess and the Frog

[@jillianunrau2387]

I know you focus on animated movies for Down to Disness, but it would be cool to hear about some live action disney movies, like Pirates of the Caribbean or The Princess Diaries. Love this series by the way, I look forward to it every month!

[@peperainbow]

I had the soundtrack on vinyl and I would listen to it non-stop! I LOVE this movie!

[@mythandmilagro]

Still pushing for Sword in the Stone 😛🗡

[@moonlightmagnolias6597]

Oliver and Company holds a special place in my heart because it's the first movie I ever saw in a theater. (I was 3.) It was followed soon after by The Land Before Time, BUT it was first for me!

[@laurenb.8027]

this movie made me cry when I was younger especially the opening song

[@justanotherartist274]

Oliver and Company is one of my absolute favorite Disney movies!!!!

[@fairyhades]

Such a good underrated movie everyone should watch it

[@Angelx624]

This movie is super nostalgic for me, and I've loved it ever since I was a kid :) I remember learning to play Good Company on the piano, too!

[@nicolettacarlone8150]

I remember seeing this movie as a kid in the theater, it was one of my favorites.

[@VTAnimation]

Sadly the music is probably why a lot of people even know about Oliver and Company. It's a decent movie, but compared to what Disney would do, it's unfortunately easy to glance over. Btw isn't this the first Disney movie to be set in its time?

[@Outtacontextouttatime]

No, 101 dalmatians was the first movie to be set in its time (around the early 1960s)

[@kimbasciano_]

As a New Yorker, I just love this movie. And it came out the year I was born. Love this series so much Sarah!

[@Juulx1]

Yessss I was so excited to see that you posted this! I think Oliver and Company might be (one of) my most-watched Disney movies ever. I loved it as a kid, I still love it now. Why Should I Worry is suuuuch a good song and the opening song always makes me cry. Also, I'm from the Netherlands and the Why Should I Worry song is, in my opinion, one of the best translated Disney songs ever. It's worth to listen to it even if you can't understand the language!

[@jacksonjukebox125]

this series is so so good i look forward to every single episode and never feel disappointed, keep it up! i'd love to see you do The sword in the stone or Mulan at some point

[@yeahitsapartyintheUK]

I always love these videos Sarah! I can't even listen to once upon a time in New York City without 😭 such a beautifully sad song xx

[@rainstrife1558]

I really love all your down to Disness episodes :) I learn something new every time!!! I'd like to see one on Meet the Robinsons

[@DessMelissa]

I love the opening scene and the whole movie honestly! and this video really makes me want to rewatch it! I wish I had it on something I could watch!

[@bitsofbrittany]

Ahh! I love Oliver and Company! LOVE THIS SARAH

[@TheBubblypumpkin]

[@miriamcq]

YAAAAAASSS!!! It's finally here!!!! So cool, I didn't know O&Co. had so much into it, nor that it did so well on theater!! Cool vid, thank you Sarah!! Please please, please can you do one from the Wartime period next?? (Like, the 3 caballeros, Saludos amigos, The Adventures of Ichaboad and Mr. Toad, Fun and Fancy Free or something like that??)

[@JodieC26]

Another very good show. These are always excellent.

[@ninamarjanac]

Loved this so much. This is forever one of my favorite Disney films. ^_^

[@jshammar]

I learned a LOT from this video! Loved it! Ive been begging for bedknobs and broomsticks. I know it's not fully animated but like Pete's Dragon 🐉 it's one of my absolute favorites that not many people know about or remember! I've been tempted to do research on it myself, but I've been holding back because I know you'll find out ALL the good stuff. I'm am fascinated by the time period of the movie!

[@disneydarlings975]

miss seeing you daily! you are one of my favorite vlogger

[@k1tkat-kate]

I love Oliver and Company so much! I sang the soundtrack relentlessly as a kid. I didn't know 'Once Upon a Time in New York City' was written by Howard Ashman!

[@Joelthegeek]

this was cool! i never really thought of it as being the start of the modern disney animation!

[@jennifercampbell2512]

I think it's so interesting that it came out the same day as Land Before Time! Thanks for a great video

[@shelbybroadwell7272]

I literally love your down to disness series so much! Can you please do an episode on Meet the Robinsons?

[@leakallan5391]

YEEES 😍😍😍 my favorite series on youtube!!!

[@yntbox79]

I agree! is my fave too

[@Animeisoutstanding]

Oliver and Company is one of my favorite Disney movies! I love the music and the story :)

[@kelseyd4196]

Oliver is aaaaa-dorable and Billy Joel's voice is so timeless! Hey Sarah! Since your last few "Down to Disness" videos have covered...The Golden, Renaissance, Silver, Bronze eras and a Disney/Pixar movie...maybe you're ready for a Post-Renaissance one! How about Atlantis???? One of my 21 yr old daughter's faves!

[@laurakemp973]

Oliver & Company is still my favourite Disney movie of all time, Dodger being my favourite Disney character everrrrrr! I dont think the movie gets enough love at all! which is strange as so many people seem to love Disney animal based movies? thankyou so much Sarah for the informative vlog, cant wait to see more :-)

[@NeverDial911]

This movie makes me fucking cry and its not normal for a movie to make me cry💜 one of the best

[@guyincognito8043]

I would love a Black Cauldron Down to Disness! But whatever you choose, I'll be checking it out!

[@lizeindisney]

Thank you so much for doing this 😍

[@stacia72310]

I just binge watched this entire playlist! You're so good at these videos! Can you do Tangled or Mulan soon? :)

[@user-oy5ck1fs4b]

The Disney Bronze Age Movies Oliver And Company Is One Of My Favourite Disney Films Great History Sarah Sterling From Benny Mufabiro. 😌😉😋😃😁😊🤣♥️❤👍

[@jakepulley8155]

Oh my gosh yes! I have been waiting so long for this video. It's also very nice seeing all the love for this movie in the comments. Me and my friends are actually currently working on a fan made web series that will be a continuation from the movie (and by working on I mean we finished all the scripts yesterday and are currently working through the story boards for the first 10 episodes out of a planned 36). So yeah, I really like this movie.

[@prnoflin]

Oliver and Company is one of my favorites, in my top 3 Disney films. I agree, the soundtrack is great! Such an underrated film. I finally bought the bluray, I still watched it on vhs lol.

[@szadowski]

favourite disney movie!!! yay I learnt I lot

[@ellie_run]

I looooved this movie as a kid and still love it now 😊

[@MsPandalover55]

loved the video! hoping to see you the princess & the frog soon :)

[@paultowarnicki5359]

Great video! I've never seen Oliver and Company but I will now. Would love to see a video about Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

[@ItsKimOlson]

“Oliver” was my FAVORITE as a LITTLE kid!!!

[@ArlieDLR93]

Omg that my favorite movie. 😍😍😍😍😍 I can’t stop watching this movie

[@KeepCalmAndEatCarrot]

I love down to disness so much :')

[@kaveverythingnerd324]

i would love to see either brother bear or princess and the frog. awesome video!

[@MidasOfMesses]

Oliver and Company, strangely enough, was actually one of my favorite movies growing up for some reason. The same way that kids had lines from Aladdin memorized, I knew what Dodger and Oliver were gonna say before they said it 😅😅

[@Nixijokenzi]

I love Bette Midler as Georgette! Brilliant!

[@EmmaCosgrove123]

Great video as always, I'd love to see a Mulan down to disness 😊

[@neilhewitson1617]

Of the transistion era, this is one of the films I enjoyed. Only Great Mouse Detective ranks higher for me because I love their take on Holmes and the addition of Vincent Price voicing Ratigan. I even went to WDW for the first time that year. The Magic Kingdom had a special float for the movie that ran the enitire parade route before the rest of the floats started.

[@JackieCollins182]

just thought i'd tell you i LOVE the green screen!! adds so much to your vids

[@awesomegarfieldfan4553]

This is my favorite movie

[@user-zg8vr6uw5y]

Plzzzz Do The Rescuers !!

[@FauxeTales]

[@andrea-co3xi]

Absolutely love this movie! And Oliver looks just like my kitten Salem, only Salem is a black cat haha

[@alecramsbottom1243]

Would love to see a Down to Disness on Chicken Little because you've said you really don't like it and would like to hear your thoughts ahah. Great video anyway!

[@yntbox79]

Down to dissness is the BEST!!! and Oliver and company is cool too!
