Rita (Oliver & Company)
Last Updated on: November 15th, 2024
Who is Rita?
Rita is a confident, street-smart Afghan Hound from Disney’s animated film Oliver & Company (1988). She is one of the canine companions in Fagin’s gang, living on the streets of New York City.
Unlike some of her rougher friends, Rita is graceful and kind-hearted, often showing a maternal and protective demeanor, particularly toward Oliver, the film’s orphaned kitten protagonist. Rita’s intelligence and charm make her a standout among the gang, and she plays a significant role in helping Oliver navigate the challenges of street life.
Rita is also musically inclined, with her sultry voice lending itself to the song “Streets of Gold,” in which she teaches Oliver about survival and resilience. Her character embodies loyalty and courage, traits that help Fagin’s gang stand up to the film’s antagonist, the menacing loan shark Sykes.
Rita’s voice and singing were provided by legendary artist Sheryl Lee Ralph, a talented actress and singer.
