Oliver Twist (1973) Reviews

Oliver Twist (1973)
Member Rating:  
Oliver Twist is an animated version of the Dickens classic. Josh Albee is heard as the voice of the orphaned Oliver, while radio veteran Les Tremayne invokes all the tricks of his trade to portray the underhanded Fagin. This adaptation was a rare theatrical release from the TV-cartoon factory of Filmation; it was picked up for distribution by Warner Bros., who virtually threw away the film when it performed poorly in previews. Oliver Twist gained its widest exposure when it was telecast as an NBC special in 1981. At that time, the film's already heavily telescoped continuity was whittled down to an adumbrated 47 minutes. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

I know the story Oliver Twist is supposed to be sad etc. But this version was a terrible cartoon. There was lots of degradding of Oliver and others, neglect, and worse Physical ABUSE to children, woman, and animals!!! This was disturbing and disappointing. In addition, some of the other boys in the film smoke and drink. This story could have been told in a better way. I STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE TO ANYONE Thank you

Who gave this hunk of #@$% a four star rating? Boring animation, and extremely poor directing. What a disappointment. This is not a cartoon that stands the test of time. Trash it!
