Oliver Twist is a 1974 American animated adventure musical drama film directed by Hal Sutherland that is based on Charles Dickens's 1838 novel of the same name.

The film was the second and last to be produced by Filmation and distributed by Warner Bros.[1] Davy Jones, who played The Artful Dodger in the original Broadway production of Oliver!, reprises his role.

But Fagin and the dangerous Bill Sykes decide to kidnap Oliver to burglarize Mr. Brownlow's fancy house.

[citation needed] According to media historian Hal Erickson, its distributor, Warner Bros., "virtually threw away the film when it performed poorly in previews."

[5][1] Variety panned the film, saying that "neither Dickens nor the youngsters watching will profit much from this one," although the animation showcasing the streets of London received praise.
