“Oliver and Company” is a timeless classic that was inspired by Charles Dickens’ novel “Oliver Twist.” “Oliver and Company” is a fun-filled, action-packed musical adventure voiced and sung by a talented cast. The film skillfully blends lovable characters, cool songs, and action-packed adventure into a contemporary classic.

It’s up to the brave kitten and his new friends to race to the rescue in an electrifying chase through the city’s subway system. The movie will feature five outstanding original songs and the music of Billy Joel, Bette Midler, and Huey Lewis.

Adventure Continues at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley Expansion
Diagon Alley Concept Drawing at Wizarding World
DIAGON ALLEY IS COMING TO UNIVERSAL ORLANDO RESORT
Scheduled to open in 2014, the world’s first centrally themed, multi-park experience expands The
Wizarding World of Harry Potter across both Universal Orlando theme parks and allows Universal’s
creative team to bring an unparalleled vision to this unique project. The new area will bring to life
some of the experiences and places found in and around London in the Harry Potter books and
films, offering brand-new adventures for fans and theme park guests from around the world.
Diagon Alley and ‘London’ will be located within the Universal Studios Florida theme park, which is
adjacent to Universal’s Islands of Adventure theme park, where guests now experience Hogwarts
and Hogsmeade. The new area within Universal Studios will be just as expansive, immersive and
authentic as the existing themed environment.
And – just like in the books and films – guests will be able to travel between ‘London’ and Hogsmeade aboard the Hogwarts Express. Work on the new area is already underway. When complete, it will feature shops, a restaurant and an innovative, marquee attraction based on Gringotts bank – all directly inspired by the fiction and films.
