Oliver & Company (1988)

Cast: Joey Lawrence, Billy Joel, Cheech Marin, Richard Mulligan, Roscoe Lee Browne, Sheryl Lee Browne, Dom DeLuise, Bette Midler
For complete info, see IMDb's Oliver & Company page.

I was really happy when Disney announced the re-release of Oliver & Company in theatres. Although this time period in Disney history is often talked about as some of the worst animation they had and isn't known for the best stories, I think that Oliver & Company is really cute and very well done. The animation is definitely not the best you'll see in Disney movies for this one, but the story (clearly based on Oliver Twist) is very well done and I think there's better music in this version than there is in the musical Oliver!.

If you have kids, I think this is a really good idea for a rental (and possibly to own). There are some great songs done by Billy Joel, Huey Lewis & the News, Bette Midler, etc. and a cute story.
