Oliver & Company (1988)

Where Oliver & Company says it takes place, and where it was really shot.

Hand-drawn, so nothing was filmed on location: every place is a drawing of 1980s New York, from a hot dog cart to the Brooklyn Bridge

Scenes and places

The hot dog cart where it begins (1988)

Left without a home, a lost kitten wanders the street until a street-smart dog offers to show him the ropes. Together they raid a hot dog vendor's cart, and the kitten follows his new friend home.

Fagin's barge (1988)
