Oliver & Company (film)/Awesome


 * Before this, Disney had never touched modern-day New York City as the setting of an animated film. Not only did they pull it off, but then the second musical number "Why Should I Worry" starts up, and the audiences realizes this is going to rock.
 * Upon first meeting Sykes, his dogs, Roscoe and DeSoto, go into the gang's hideout and starts terrorizing the place. DeSoto finds Oliver's hiding spot, and ignores Roscoe telling him that Sykes is calling them back, in favor of preparing to eat Oliver. Oliver responds by clawing DeSoto's nose in self-defense, leaving scars. Even Fagin says that that took a lot of guts.
 * Of course, this is clearly based on the behaviour of real-life cats, who are known to fight back when cornered.
 * Seeing Jenny in danger, Oliver jumps into the back of Sykes limo during a frenzied car chase. He ignores the fact that Roscoe and DeSoto are in full-on attack mode and bites Sykes on the hand.
 * Dodger somehow saves Oliver's life after the car that they were in gets knocked off of a bridge in flames.
