[edit] Age of Film

Could someone make some mention of how this movie was not relased on video until about 20 years after it was in theater? I noticed this to be a phenomeon that disney has preformed a couple times before. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 152.163.100.201 (talk • contribs) .

It was actually 8 years after its original release. The movie's not even 20 years old yet. Jjmcspooh 15:40, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

O&C was released in 1988 and did not have a video release until 1997. The same thing happened with The Black Cauldron: released in 1985 to little fanfare, its video premiere did not happen until 1999.

Maybe I'll incorporate that suggestion when I head back to editing O&C. --Slgrandson 16:28, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bridge and Train

I removed the misleading claim from the Trivia section that the Brooklyn Bridge never had any subway lines running across it. This is true in the sense that the lines in question were elevated at all points with no underground portions; however, they were a perfectly good part of the BMT service until 1944. Streetcars ran across the bridge until 1950, when the center lanes were rebuilt for automobile traffic. --John Cowan 15:08, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rita's Voice

I know Sheryl Lee Ralph played the voice of Rita, but was it Ruth Pointer who did the singing voice for Rita? 128.180.211.181 15:39, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.80.244.136 (talk) 21:35, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] McDonald's

I remember McDonald's was the main restaurant sponsor for this movie in the USA -- i.e. Oliver & Company marketing was plastered on Happy Meals around the release date.

Just thought I'd throw that out there. 71.226.60.137 11:04, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Don't know if it is wanted, would likely go under trivia or promotion, other film links don't include this information for the most part. I do know they had special animated commercials - Oliver and Dodger in a winter scene - promoting the two available Christmas Musical ornaments. This was not part of any Happy Meal promotion, but available for purchase. The same was done with the Little Mermaid with Flounder and Sabastian. Kidsheaven 02:55, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Beginning of Disney's revival period

Would this film count as the beginning of Disney's revival period? 67.188.172.165 05:36, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Disney sort of does not count it in that period, which they would say started with "The Little Mermaid", as the series of updated musical animation. It was the first of the current type "musical Disney films" in my view, but that is "my" POV. Kidsheaven 22:57, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Errors

Seems odd to have an Errors section for a movie about singing pets that can literally dance through traffic at will. Lots42 02:59, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dodger's bandana

Why does Dodger wear a red bandana around his neck? 68.111.100.214 00:54, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't know. He released it to cause one of the Dobermans to fall on the electric railway tracks. TobytheTramEngine 22:13, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Oliver and company.jpg

Image:Oliver and company.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
