    it was on TV, and that was back when people watched a film simply b/c elijah wood was in it...a little bouncy and carefree for a TRUE oliver twist depiction, but it's tolerable nonetheless

    I remember seeing this movie for the first time- on TV's "The Wonderful World Of Disney"- and I remember it well. It's a movie adaptation of Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist", which I used to read back in elementary school. I know what the story is about: Oliver runs away from a sweat shop (correct?) to London, where he meets Fagin and the Artful Dodger. Three years after my first viewing, I saw "Oliver Twist" again, but this time, I was with my 7th grade English class, and it was all part of our assignment of reading the Dickens' novel. This movie version of the Dickens' novel is so great, and I give it four stars!

    This is Brian Kesler, phony film critic, with your daily movie buzz. As disney sinks lower and lower every week, and the animation studio is being chopped up for winter firewood, their live action productions seem to be moving right along. 'Oliver Twist' has just managed to make its way onto television screens everywhere. And it's created quite a buzz regarding other versions of the film. After being advertised to magnificently horrid reviews, this sugar fest of insipid cockney accents and wonderfully witless dialogue has broken all sorts of records for cash lost in a single week. With it's eye shattering out of period fiberglass set and nauseating cinematography, 'Oliver Twist' has the look of a winner of minus three Emmy awards. And 'Oliver Twist' is perfect for the middle class suburban brain dead family. No nasty lyrics, gruesome perversions, or multiculturalism like there is in the musical and other versions. Oliver Twist has been sanitized, shrink wrapped, and drained of all blood for your protection. This is Brian Kesler with the movie buzz, and who the hell am I anyway?
