Is it a stretch to call Billy Joel's Dodger the coolest Disney character of all time? He's a street-savvy, New York style mutt with a soulful voice, easy-going demeanor, and undeterred loyalty that should rank among Disney's finest, but often gets lost behind the likes of Aladdin or other Disney princes. But with music featuring some of the best soft rock bands of the eighties (Huey Lewis & the News, Joel himself) and an impressive supporting cast (Cheech Marin, Richard Mulligan, Dom DeLuise, Frank Welker, and Bette Midler), this modern spin on Charles Dickens' classic is too adorable to ignore. The major problem? It's not long enough. Coming in at just 74 minutes, you might feel like you've just sat down by the time the movie is over. Still, you can't bypass this one without wanting to go jump on traffic all over New York City, howling into the sky.
