I think what really dragged it down and kept it from becoming iconic is the little girl-storyline - I for one always thought she was INCREDIBLY ANNOYING. Also the plot is kind of dull, the premise is thorougly uninteresting and the scenery, while pretty, reminds one of the worst of the Xerox era (Aristocats and SitS come to mind) because of it's lack of detail. I'd love to have this movie on Blu though just for the satisfaction of seeing it getting some recognition.

I agree, Oliver & Co. may use the same Disney Formula that later Disney films employed but somehow is not an effective execution. I'm not really fond of this film and I find it very uninspiring and dull. Is not the worst Disney film but I find The Little Mermaid a much superior film (then again I'm a 90s kid and grew up with the "Renaissance" films so I have a special fondness for all of those movies).
