**Oliver** is the main protagonist in Disney's *Oliver & Company*. He is Fagin's new former pet kitten until he was later adopted and officially became Jenny Foxworth's kitten at the end of the movie. He was voiced by Joey Lawrence.

## Description

Oliver is a small and slender orange Tabby kitten with more long hair between his ears, three dark orange stripes on his back, and a white muzzle. During the film, he acquires a blue collar with a gold license with his name and new home address inscribed on it around his neck thanks to his new wealthy owner, a little girl named Jenny Foxworth.

He is shown to be very brave, caring, friendly, humble, kind, and cute. In one scene, however, Dodger feels Oliver is disloyal to the gang since he tells them he wants to return to Jenny's house, where he is loved and has a comfortable life, instead of staying with them and "mixing with the riffraff" despite admitting that he really likes every one of his dog friends.

Despite his good nature, he is known to show some anger in him, especially when he feels betrayed, like the time when he gets conned by Dodger out of some sausages that he helped steal from a cruel hot dog vendor named Louie and, therefore, to which he knew he was owed. His bravery allows him to be very loyal and protective of the ones he cares about, as shown when he jumps from Fagin's scooter onto Sykes' car and bites the villain's hand after he grabs Jenny during the subway chase.

He is also shown to be quite intelligent and resourceful. When chasing after Dodger for half the sausages he owes him, he climbs up onto a girder, walks across it, and jumps down onto a no-pass barrier while Dodger is busy looking behind him and he also manages to get on several vehicles just as his dog friends do during the movie, proving that he is a bit of a fast learner.

## Appearances

### *Oliver & Company*

Somewhere in Times Square, New York, Oliver is among one of the eight kittens first seen playing with his friends in a box as they wait to be adopted by their future owners. One by one, the kittens are bought and sold for $5.00, later $3.00 quickly until Oliver is the only one left in the box all alone and for free.

One rainy night, after the box gets filled up with water from a pipe next to it and torn into pieces; almost sending Oliver into a sewer hole, Oliver gets out and runs to find a dryer spot in an alley to sleep for the night until he suddenly notices three vicious alley dogs who begin chasing him. Luckily, Oliver manages to escape by jumping over a big fence where he finds a dry place to sleep on top of a truck's wheel.

In the morning, Oliver wakes up when he hears the truck starting up and then, jumps out of the truck when it starts moving and goes off to explore New York City. As Oliver observes all the people passing by, he hears some Hip Hop music coming from a black man's radio and starts dancing to the beat with him for a while. Then, he tries to find some people who "might" adopt him this time but nobody seems to even notice him at all. Soon, he meets a little boy, about three years old, and begins to play with him. But the boy's mother pulls him further away; telling him he can play with the latter some other time. Oliver follows the boy until he gets scared by the honking cars and the people coming his way and runs back on the sidewalk when he finally realizes he's been unintentionally crossing the streets the whole time. Later, Oliver notices and smells some hot dogs being sold by a guy named Louie. However, Louie doesn't tolerate animals trying to get near his sausages, which makes Oliver's first two attempts to procure hot dogs from him unsuccessful; eventually attracting the attention of a dog named Dodger.

After getting coldly kicked to a nearby alley and bumping into a trash can by Louie, Oliver meets Dodger who states to him that he definitely chose the wrong person to ask for hot dogs. However, due to his previous experiences with dogs, Oliver angrily demands Dodger to stay away from him until Dodger calmly reassures him that unlike most dogs, he's not the kind who likes to eat cats simply because of his obvious good-nature and his dislike of excessive fur. Having seen the whole thing, Dodger offers to give Oliver some professional guidance and help him get some of those hot dogs from Louie. At first, Oliver refuses since his previous attempts have already failed twice but eventually, Dodger convinces him otherwise when he reassures him that it will be different this time by learning some moves that can allow him to do "absitively-posolutely" anything in life and if they just learn to work together in the end.

After Oliver is briefed by Dodger on his minor knowledge about Louie, he is asked by the latter if he's starting to feel some rhythm. When a construction worker is working with a jackhammer nearby, Oliver gladly replies that he does in fact, "feel the rhythm" and asks Dodger when are they going to get those hot dogs, to which Dodger replies: "Right now." and starts barking at Oliver and pretending to chase him towards Louie to keep the guy distracted while he handles the theft the rest of the way; much to his amusement.

However, once out of harm's way, Dodger coolly reveals that he actually conned and manipulated Oliver the whole time when he refuses to share half of the sausages with him fair and square, which initially provokes a chase throughout the city as Dodger sings "Why Should I Worry".

At night, unknown to Dodger, Oliver has followed him all the way back to a barge where he climbs up onto the roof and watches Dodger giving the sausages to his gang of dog friends: Francis, Einstein, Tito, and Rita for their dinner. Then, Oliver listens as Dodger tells the gang the story with the sausages when they ask him how he did it. At first, Dodger describes every event that occurred during the day until he begins to exaggerate when he mentions a "monster with razor-sharp claws, dripping fangs, burning eyes, and nine lives, all of them hungry" in his story, which begins to frighten the others. But then, Oliver, covered in cloth, suddenly falls and crashes into the barge right in front of Dodger and the gang, which causes them to become even more scared and panic as each one tries to find a place to hide; thinking it's the "monster" from Dodger's story. Approached by an investigating Tito when the others wonder about him, Oliver accidentally scratches Tito on the nose while tearing through the cloth, which makes the latter naively think it's an "alien", then panic, and flee in terror until Oliver, or a "cat", as pointed out by Rita is revealed to everyone when the latter sees the result for herself.

Having learned half of the truth, the gang except Dodger surrounds and interrogates Oliver. Oliver explains that he followed Dodger when Rita asks him the first question despite Tito naively thinking that the former is lying before being silenced by Rita. However, after Oliver answers Francis and Einstein's questions and Tito, thinking that Oliver is a spy, insists that they eat him instead, Oliver further reveals the truth about his involvement in Dodger's sausage theft and with Dodger to respectfully back him up when he fully admits that the former did in fact, help him in his latest scheme, the gang begins to develop respect for the kitten.

Then, Oliver watches the gang minus Rita mock and laugh at Dodger's "monster" story as Dodger's watching the baseball game on T.V.. Then, a dogpile fight commences with the dogs after Tito annoyingly provokes Dodger with his constant persiflage. Slightly frightened, Oliver hides inside a box labeled "loot" on it during the fight.

Later, a voice is heard in the background, telling the dogs to stop the play-fight. It is revealed to be the dogs' owner, Fagin, having returned home with a box of dog biscuits, which he presumably either bought or stole earlier in the day for his pets. Oliver watches the dogs stop the fight, give Fagin a warm welcome, and proceed to lick him affectionately despite the latter's protests. However, their happiness is short-lived when they hear a honking noise outside, knowing this means that Fagin's evil boss, Sykes has arrived to claim the money Fagin owes him, which he unfortunately doesn't have, so, he asks his dogs to bring him the "loot" box. Unfortunately, Fagin is disappointed by the junk his dogs brought for him as "loot" to pay back Sykes and before he can examine Oliver whom he discovers inside the box, Sykes' two Dobermans, Roscoe and DeSoto suddenly barge in and shoo him out to talk to their master while they taunt his dogs as Oliver hides from them.

While Fagin is out talking to Sykes, Oliver remains hidden somewhere as he watches Roscoe try in vain to flirt with an initially repulsed Rita while DeSoto sniffs around the place and confront both Francis and Einstein for insulting him before Dodger intervenes in order to calm him down. Oliver appears slightly frightened when Roscoe deliberately smashes the T.V. with a kick to prove his point to Dodger about not losing his sense of humor, sadistically stating that he finds that funny as he lets out a cold, sinister chuckle. Later, when it's time for the Dobermans to leave after hearing their master call for them with his car horn, Oliver is unfortunately discovered by DeSoto. When DeSoto tries in vain to eat him rather than to heed his master's call, Oliver scratches him on the nose, which provokes both Dobermans to try and attack him once they corner him against a wall, but not before Dodger and later, the rest of the gang intervene in order to protect their new cat friend from their enemies; making them hesitate when they realize they are outnumbered.

When their master calls for them again, Roscoe and DeSoto leave but not before swearing revenge on their enemies, starting with Oliver. After leaving, Dodger, impressed by Oliver's slight act of bravery, states to his friends that he really knows how to pick friends as he pulls a high-five trick on Oliver.

Then, after accidentally falling off a pier, Fagin walks in all wet and sad, lamenting over the three days he has been given by Sykes as his last chance to pay him back or suffer the consequences that may befall both him and his dogs. Feeling sorry for their master, Oliver watches Dodger and the others do everything they can to cheer him up. Rejoiced after they fetch his slippers, help him relax his feet, cover him up, and feed him a dog biscuit, Fagin thanks his dogs; much to their joy. Having seen DeSoto's nose, Fagin asks who did it, to which Dodger reveals Oliver to him. Impressed with his bravery, Oliver is accepted into the gang by Fagin. Then, it's time for bed but Einstein insists Fagin read them a bedtime story first. At first, Fagin is reluctant as he is too tired but after hearing Einstein's sad whining, he changes his mind and chooses to read only one chapter for tonight. Later, once everyone is asleep, Oliver is awakened after Dodger turns off the light and watches him go over to his bed. Once Dodger's asleep, Oliver rushes over to sleep with him instead, which temporarily wakes Rita up after hearing him running. At first, Dodger is baffled but after noticing both Oliver and Rita smile with joy, he quickly understands that the kitten loves him. Deeply touched, both he and Rita go back to sleep; each with a smile on his/her face this time.

The next morning, the gang including Oliver is riding through the streets in Fagin's scooter as Dodger is left responsible for Oliver by Fagin. After crashing in an alley, Fagin instructs his pets to get out and search for food while he tries to find a way to earn or even steal money within the next two days before the deadline. Wanting to help their owner with his financial problems while searching for food at the same time, the dogs as well as Oliver agree on this plan and proceed to execute it, starting on Columbus Avenue. Then, the gang; especially Rita, teaches Oliver a lesson about how the best survive by keeping their dreams alive and working together through singing "Streets of Gold". During the song, Oliver is saved from traffic by Dodger and then, finds himself suddenly chased by a vicious alley dog until the gang saves him by simply growling at him, which makes the alley dog cower and run away in fear. To the gang's amusement, Oliver "barks" like a dog at his wannabe-attacker before carrying on with their objective.

Noticing a beige limousine in their path, Dodger comes up with a plan on how to steal the car's radio that Fagin can pawn off at a shop and earn money in exchange as minor payment for his debt to Sykes, using Einstein and mainly, Francis as distractions and Tito as the "electrician/electronics technician" with Oliver to help him out while Dodger and Rita handle the crowd. After Einstein deliberately runs headfirst into the car so as to make it look as though the driver, Winston had hit something and Francis takes his place as the "victim", Winston gets out and tends to Francis while Oliver and Tito sneak inside the car. While Tito is handling wire disconnections, Oliver asks him questions, which slowly begin to annoy the former. Therefore, Tito simply assigns Oliver as a lookout looking outside the window to "make sure it’s still daylight." However, Oliver is distracted and slightly alarmed by a noise at the back and when he tries to warn Tito about it, the latter tells him to stop hassling him and reassures him that he will take care of it as soon as he is done with one more wire. Unfortunately, Oliver accidentally slips on the ignition, which causes the car to go haywire and sends a barbecued Tito literally flying out the window in a flash while Oliver remains trapped in some of the wires.

Luckily, a little girl named Jenny Foxworth, who was the one who inadvertently caused Oliver to panic a little when opening one of the windows for a closer look, comes to his aid and releases him from his bond as Winston returns to check up on her before they drive away with Oliver still inside.

Back at her mansion, having grown attached to Oliver, Jenny decides to adopt him but Winston is against it since she is his responsibility, they already have a dog named Georgette, and they have to wait for her parents' approval since they are away on a business trip around Europe.

Later, in the kitchen, Oliver has a special meal prepared for him by Jenny, having inadvertently caused a mess in the process; much to Winston's minor shock. Finally, Oliver is fed a secret recipe Jenny just invented called "*Oeufs a la Jenny avec Cocoa Kripies*" in a bowl. As soon as Jenny comes out to speak with her parents on the phone after Winston answered it earlier and informs her; knowing this is her chance to see if she can keep Oliver or not, Oliver gladly proceeds to eat his first meal in days. Then, Oliver meets and is approached sympathetically by Georgette with somewhat sarcastic questions at first since he's been eating out of her bowl actually until finally, he gets slightly intimidated when the latter suddenly snaps and scolds at him as she arrogantly but naively claims that despite Jenny and her family owning the house, she gains power over it.

Luckily, Jenny returns just in time to inform Georgette that her parents have approved with the decision of keeping Oliver while assuming that both she and Oliver are going to be the "best of friends", a statement which Georgette finds rather amusing; given her vanity, ego, and recent animosity of Oliver.

Later, Oliver plays with Jenny as the latter prepares for her piano lessons until she is reminded by Winston. As Jenny begins to practice, Oliver joins along by playing a discordant note; much to her amusement. When she continues practicing, Jenny sings "Good Company" as both she and Oliver begin to bond; much to Georgette's further envy, anger, and animosity of Oliver.

Then, with Winston accompanying them, Oliver and Jenny spend the rest of the day having fun at Central Park: riding in a small boat in the lake, playing with fences, greeting people they pass by, eating strawberry ice cream, riding in a horse carriage, and finally, buying Oliver's things with his name on them in a shop including his bowl and most important of all, his new collar with his name and the address inscribed on it. As a sign of happiness and gratitude, Oliver licks and hugs Jenny. At night, Jenny finishes singing a few notes before she and Oliver go to sleep and bids him good-night with a smile on her face; much to Winston's joy.

The next morning, while Jenny is at school, Oliver enjoys sleeping the rest of the day in Jenny's bedroom until he is suddenly awoken and handed by Georgette, eager to get rid of him, to his dog friends, having come to his "rescue" and met Georgette earlier, in a pillow sack held by Francis and Einstein as they flee through the fire escape despite Rita being the first one convinced that Oliver's okay when she proposes to forget Dodger's plan.

Back at the barge, Oliver is brought in by his friends. However, Oliver appears lost and confused, which makes Rita wonder if he's okay as Tito backs her up by simply stating that Oliver is just glad to be back with his "Uncle Tito" and kissing him but then, Oliver demands to know why they took him away, which confuses the gang even more. When Einstein tells him that they simply "rescued" and brought him back home, Oliver reveals that he actually wanted to stay now that he's happy living in a new home with someone who loves him. Dodger points out to Oliver that he and the gang risked a lot to rescue him since he's a member of their "family" but when Oliver tries to explain the situation, Dodger suddenly accuses him unfairly of looking down on them as the "riff-raff" despite the latter admitting that he actually likes his friends while stating that things get complicated when living in a new life with a new person who loves him; especially, when taken away from them. Nevertheless, an upset but otherwise, stubborn Dodger grudgingly allows a devastated Oliver to leave without anyone stopping him. After looking at each other with great sadness and sorrow, Oliver leaves until a depressed Fagin returns and brings him back inside. The gang watches as Fagin is about to lose faith and hope after how his previous attempts to earn or steal money have failed until he suddenly rejoices when he notices the address inscribed on Oliver's collar that reads: "5th Avenue", meaning that where he currently comes from, his new owners must be rich, therefore, inspiring Fagin to come up with a plan to hold Oliver for ransom while writing a ransom note to his owners, which just might help him pay his debt to Sykes at last.

At night, at Sykes' warehouse, Fagin goes over his ransoming plan while pretending that Dodger is Sykes before entering the building. Once inside and after Sykes is done with a private phone conversation with an unknown hitman about a possible upcoming murder, Fagin, slightly intimidated by the latter, discusses his plan rather awkwardly at first, which causes Sykes to quickly lose his patience and order his dogs to attack with one snap of the fingers. During the attack, Fagin discusses his plan properly and loudly this time as he shows him Oliver as proof while Dodger protects Fagin and fights the Dobermans off. Convinced, Sykes snaps his fingers again to order his dogs to cease the attack. Lying injured and unconscious with severe (but invisible) injuries, both Fagin and Oliver come to Dodger's aid after Sykes offers Fagin 12 more hours as his last chance and feeds biscuits to his dogs.

Later, on the same night, Fagin waits impatiently and worriedly for the arrival of Oliver's new owner at the rendezvous spot. Oblivious to the fact that Sykes and his dogs are watching them from a distance in his car, when Fagin learns that Jenny is in fact, Oliver's new owner but with very little money in a piggy bank she brought as payment to get Oliver back, Jenny begins to cry and Fagin has a hard time deciding whether to give up the ransom and follow his good heart or not while feeling guilty as he watches Jenny and Georgette leave with great sadness in their eyes.

Finally, Fagin does the right thing, pretends to find Oliver in a box, and returns him to Jenny; much to both his and the latter's joy. Unfortunately, their happiness is cut-short when Sykes, having seen the whole thing, drives straight towards Jenny to make his move, kidnaps her, and throws Oliver out the window. Before driving away, Sykes tells Fagin to keep his mouth shut and to consider their account closed. Appalled to see their little friend injured, Dodger and the gang including Georgette rush to Oliver's aid and at the same time, generously promise to "absitively" help him get Jenny back as well. Without further hesitation and without riding in Fagin's scooter this time despite the latter's orders, Oliver and the dogs dash straight to Sykes' warehouse.

At the warehouse, after Tito and Francis have finished inspecting the place to see if they can find a way in, they inform Dodger that it's all locked up. So, Dodger comes up with another plan on how to get inside. The plan is set with Tito as the "maestro" and Francis and Oliver (in a football helmet) as the "cannonballs". Then, Oliver is launched on a made-up seesaw and through a window by Francis, which somehow alerts Sykes who sends his dogs to investigate. Once inside, Oliver hears a growling and narrowly avoids detection from Roscoe and DeSoto. When the coast is finally clear, Oliver opens a hatch from the inside, which allows everyone to enter easily. Later, while sneaking inside in silence, Georgette suddenly screams in pain after breaking a nail, which somehow alerts Roscoe and DeSoto more than ever. Then, everyone is detected by a security camera facing their direction.

After Tito takes care of the camera as suggested by Dodger, Oliver and the dogs proceed until they reach somewhere above Sykes' office where they find Jenny tied up to a chair but otherwise, okay while Sykes is on the phone with Winston, demanding him to get in touch with Jenny's parents in order to ask about a ransom concerning their daughter since they are away on a business trip around Europe. Then, Dodger comes up with another plan on how to distract Sykes and rescue Jenny at the same time. The plan is set with Tito, Francis, and Einstein posing as a pizza delivery guy to lure Sykes away from his office while the others sneak in to help Jenny where Oliver finds himself happily reunited with Jenny. After taking care of their enemies momentarily, Tito and the others safely return and reunite with the rest of the friends back at Sykes' office to save Jenny before locking the door behind them.

When chewing the ropes off of Jenny proves futile and their enemies are about to return, Dodger, noticing a crane at the top that could help them out, asks Tito to hot-wire it. Confident, convinced otherwise, and less reluctant than before; thanks to Georgette's charm, Tito quickly makes it up to the top where the crane's controls are located in order to operate and send the crane down just as Sykes and his dogs return to find the door locked. Luckily, Oliver and the others are carried up to safety once Tito manages to operate the crane to send it down then back up again just in time before Sykes and his dogs break through the locked door. All goes well as they are being carried away in another direction by the crane until Sykes takes out a fire axe and destroys the crane's controls, which causes everyone to fall and land on a long slide, only to find themselves cornered by their enemies at the end of the slide unfortunately.

Luckily, when all hope seems lost as Sykes is about to snap his fingers so as to order his dogs to attack again, Fagin arrives in his scooter breaking through a window just in time to save and drive everyone out to safety until Sykes tries to catch up to them in his car. Thinking Sykes won't bother following them any further, Fagin drives everyone down into a subway station but Sykes, driving like a madman, pursues them nonetheless. Once they drive into a tunnel with Sykes still in hot pursuit, Oliver listens to the dogs barking fiercely at their enemies until Sykes' car collides with Fagin's scooter, causing Jenny to fall and land on the hood of his car. Without hesitation, Oliver jumps in to save Jenny by biting Sykes' hand when the latter tries to pull Jenny back in, only to end up thrown in the backseat and cornered by Roscoe and DeSoto. Then, Dodger jumps in to rescue Oliver by fighting off and allowing Roscoe to fall to his death on the electric railway caused by the friction between Sykes’ ruined car tires and the railway itself. Angered by Roscoe's death, DeSoto tries to kill Dodger as payback until Oliver suddenly comes to Dodger's rescue, jumps on DeSoto, and scratches his nose again, which causes him to yelp in pain and fall to his death. Then, Dodger saves Oliver again just in time before meeting the same fate as well.

On the Brooklyn Bridge, while Fagin comes to Jenny's aid with Einstein to help make sure he doesn't fall as the latter calls for help, Tito takes command of the scooter. Suddenly, a train is heard and seen heading their way. When it looks like Sykes has got the upper hand by grabbing Jenny's leg and pulling her back in, Oliver and Dodger arrive just in time to save her by jumping on and fighting Sykes off, thus, enabling Jenny to jump back into Fagin's scooter. Luckily, Tito manages to save everyone at the last minute by driving them up to safety on one of the bridge's cables while Oliver and Dodger stay behind to fight Sykes off. After Sykes throws Oliver and Dodger off, the train approaches and finally collides with Sykes still in his car, thus, killing him and sending both him and his car down the Hudson River. Then, Tito drives everyone safely back down before Jenny runs out to search for Oliver, only to find a sad Dodger approaching with a supposedly lifeless Oliver in his mouth. At first, everyone thinks he's dead but when Jenny hears a soft meow coming out of Oliver, everyone minus Georgette, still in shock from the chase, quickly rejoices when they see that their little cat friend is still alive. Then, the dogs begin to befriend Jenny.

The next day, back at Jenny's house, everyone including Fagin and his dogs is celebrating Jenny's 8th birthday. Once the gang has given Jenny birthday presents (garbage actually), to which she is kindly grateful to, it's time for them to go home as Jenny and Fagin bid each other a touching good-bye. When the gang minus Tito leaves to join up with Fagin after bidding Oliver a fond farewell until the next time they meet, Dodger tells Oliver that if he just wants to hang out or anything until he is interrupted by Tito screaming as the latter runs away from the place in fear and hides behind him after having been given a bath, groomed, and dressed in a sailor suit by Georgette when invited to stay at first. As Georgette calls out for Tito amorously then demandingly from her balcony, which he is definitely unlikely to do, Oliver and Dodger watch as Tito quickly bids Oliver good-bye and runs further away to catch up with his friends. Then, Dodger asks Oliver if he can handle the "champ", to which the latter replies reassuringly and pulls the same high-five trick Dodger once pulled on him. As Dodger bids Oliver good-bye, he states that he's okay for cat and informs him that they will keep a spot open for him in the gang as "vice-president, uptown chapter".

Then, Oliver, Jenny, and Winston watch while bidding everyone good-bye as Dodger sings a reprise of "Why Should I Worry" along with the rest of his friends joining along this time while jumping from car/truck to car/truck before joining up with Fagin in his scooter on their way home.

### *House of Mouse*

Oliver has made a few guest appearances in *House of Mouse*. He can be briefly seen along with some of his dog friends during the intro, being petted by Mowgli. He mostly appeared in "Max's Embarrassing Date", where he is seen with Dodger sitting at a table as Goofy is being tipped over while accidentally causing a mess to almost everyone at their tables; much to their shock.

In "Dining Goofy", Oliver is among one of the few pets along with Lady, Tramp, O'Malley, Duchess, Todd, Copper, and some of the 101 Dalmatians seen running away in fear when Goofy falsely but unintentionally leads everyone to believe that Minnie told Mickey that the club was infested with fleas due to trying in vain to help the other staff members out after being replaced by touchscreen computers and head-set wearing penguins, which constantly keeps ending in failure and disaster.

## Disney Parks

In the years following the movie's release, Oliver made many appearances at the parks along with Dodger, Jenny, Tito, Francis, and Georgette minus the rest of the characters. In the late 1990s, he was retired but appeared with Dodger at the grand opening of Hong Kong Disneyland in 2005.

## Trivia

* Oliver was based on Oliver Twist from the novel, *Oliver Twist*, the Dickens novel that inspired the animated film.
* Oliver isn't actually named Oliver until Jenny buys him his collar. Jenny is the only one in the movie who ever calls him Oliver- otherwise, he is called "kid", "kitty", or "cat". One interesting note is that Jenny actually calls Oliver by his name once before buying his collar.
* Unlike the other kittens from the beginning of the movie, Oliver is the only cat with more long hair between his ears, a red nose, and three dark orange stripes on his back despite two identical kittens having dark stripes of their own as well.
* Near the beginning of the movie, when Oliver climbs out of the gutter during the rainstorm, the "Kitties Need Home" sign is visible in the close-up, but disappears in the wide shot. Also, Oliver moves from near the curb to a few feet in on the sidewalk.
* In "Why Should I Worry", Oliver jumps out of the wet cement onto the sign that says "Wet Cement", with no cement on his front paws. Shortly after, he jumps down off the sign, and he has cement on his paws.
* Throughout the movie, Oliver is sometimes shown to have either orange eyes matching his fur color, brown eyes, or plain black eyes.
* During Jenny's birthday, Oliver is seen wearing a birthday hat but then it disappears from a distant then later, reappears again after a close-up.
* When Oliver pulls the same high-five paw trick on Dodger as the former did earlier in the movie, his collar disappears but reappears again after a close-up. The same thing happens in some scenes during the subway chase.
