New Oliver & Company Statues Arrive at Disney's Hollywood Studios

Disney's Hollywood Studios has welcomed two new additions to its Animation Courtyard: Oliver and Dodger from the classic animated film 'Oliver & Company.'

The statues of the orange tabby kitten Oliver and his canine companion Dodger, a long-haired Jack Russell Terrier, sit near a bench in the grassy area of the courtyard. They are depicted eagerly eyeing a fake hot dog with mustard.

'Oliver & Company' is a musical adaptation of Charles Dickens' 'Oliver Twist,' featuring New York animals voiced and sung by notable artists such as Billy Joel, Bette Midler, and Huey Lewis.

The Magic of Disney Animation attraction, which includes a new Animation Academy experience hosted by Olaf and six new meet-and-greets, is set to open on September 14. The courtyard also features various animal statues, with more information available through WDW News Today's coverage.
