The movie truly kicks off when Oliver encounters the charming and street-smart mutt, Dodger, voiced by the phenomenal Billy Joel.

Yet, as Oliver becomes further enmeshed in his newfound life and companions, an unexpected twist of fate crucially alters the course of his journey. During one of the gang's thieving escapades, Oliver meets the angelic, affluent Jenny, who, with her natural grace and benevolence, instantly captures the young cat's besotted heart. This chance encounter not only prompts a drastic shift in Oliver's naïve and disadvantaged life but also sets the stage for an unforgettable adventure filled with laughter, drama, and warmth that will undoubtedly touch the hearts of audiences of all ages. As viewers witness Oliver's epic journey of self-discovery and belonging, they are reminded of the enduring capacity for love, friendship, and redemption in even the most unforeseen circumstances.
