Introduction (Oliver & Company):

The movie “Oliver & Company” is about a mischievous orphaned kitten Oliver. This is the story in the New York City where many kittens were living in the box. People came and adopt a kitten. All the kittens were adopted except an orange cat. He was left alone in the box.

Homeless Kitten:

Suddenly, it started to rain and his box was ruined. He had to wander here and there for some shelter to live as no one had adopted him. When he was wandering in search of home and food, he met a dog named Dodger who asked him that he will help him to get a sausage from the vender Louis.

Dodger Betrayal:

They stole the sausages together but when he got the food, he betrayed and took all the sausages and flees away. The orange kitten started following him and went all the way to his home where he lived with a gang of thieving dogs. At first, the dogs didn’t accept him. Suddenly, their owner Fagin came to take the things which he could gave in place of money as he had taken some money from Sykes the agent of the shipyard.

Sykes cruelty:

But he didn’t have anything. Sykes also had two dogs and they came in their house so Fagin had to leave with the things or we can say trash with him. Sykes was very angry after seeing those things and gave him three days so that he can pay his money back. Then he pushed him in water.

Company accepted Kitten:

On the other side, the dogs were also teasing Fagin’s dog and searching here and there but the dogs stayed patient. Suddenly, one dog found the orange kitten in their house and he was about to kill him but Dodger and the other dogs saved him and then accepted him as a family.

Oliver met Jenny:

On the next day, they planned to get some money somehow but the kitten got stuck in the car wires while they were looking for things that can help their owner. There was a little girl in the car who was going somewhere with the butler Winston and was sad after reading her parent’s letter that they were busy and could not attend her birthday. When she saw the kitten stuck in the car, she helped him.

Oliver got adopted:

When she realized that the kitten is homeless, she wanted to adopt him. She also had a dog in the house that thinks herself superior. When she took her home, the dog was angry but Jenny had already asked her parents about adopting a kitten and they agreed and the dog had to accept him.

Jenny and Oliver:

She named the kitten Oliver and bought her a collar with his name written on it. On the other side, the dog company was worried about the kitten and they thought to help her get back home so they searched everywhere and found the house in which Oliver was living.

Oliver’s back:

They sneaked into the house and there they found Georgette who helped them get Oliver as she was unhappy about Oliver living in the house. When they reached home, Oliver told them that he was happy with Jennifer house and he wanted to go back which made Dodger angry.

Fagin’s Plan:

Fagin came at that time and after seeing his collar, he made a plan that the cat was adopted by someone rich and he can get money from them by pretending that he had kidnapped Oliver. He told this to Sykes and Sykes used his plan. When Jenny came to gat Oliver back, Sykes kidnap the little girl and called her parents for money.
