So did you ever watch that Disney movie where Oliver Twist is a cat and the Artful Dodger is a dog, and think, "Hey this is cool but it would be better if Oliver was a dog and Dodger was a rabbit"? Then you are the incredibly niche audience for Saban's Adventures of Oliver Twist!

The image is a black and white photograph depicting two figures dressed in ragged, period-style clothing. The figure on the left appears to be an older man with a long beard wearing a straw hat adorned with flowers or ribbons, suggesting he may play the role of "the blind beggar" from Charles Dickens' story "Oliver Twist." He is seated and holding onto his knee in what seems like discomfort or deep thought. The figure on the right appears to be a younger person dressed in dark clothing, possibly portraying Oliver Twist himself, who leans against the older man's leg, resting their head on it as if seeking comfort or support.

The backdrop of the image features architectural elements that suggest an urban setting with a sense of decay and desolation. The overall mood conveyed by the photograph is somber and evocative of themes related to poverty and human suffering during Dickens' time in London's East End, where such characters were common sights.

Oliver cried lustily. If he could have known that he was an orphan, left to the tender mercies of church-wardens and overseers, perhaps he would have cried the louder.

But now that he was enveloped in the old calico robes which had grown yellow in the same service, he was badged and ticketed, and fell into his place at once—a parish child—the orphan of a workhouse—the humble, half-starved drudge—to be cuffed and buffeted through the world—despised by all, and pitied by none.

“She was brought here last night,” replied the old woman, “by the overseer’s order. She was found lying in the street. She had walked some distance, for her shoes were worn to pieces; but where she came from, or where she was going to, nobody knows.”
The surgeon leaned over the body, and raised the left hand. “The old story,” he said, shaking his head: “no wedding-ring, I see. Ah! Good-night!”

“You needn’t mind sending up to me, if the child cries, nurse,” said the surgeon, putting on his gloves with great deliberation. “It’s very likely it will be troublesome. Give it a little gruel if it is.” He put on his hat, and, pausing by the bed-side on his way to the door, added, “She was a good-looking girl, too; where did she come from?”

The surgeon deposited it in her arms. She imprinted her cold white lips passionately on its forehead; passed her hands over her face; gazed wildly round; shuddered; fell back—and died. They chafed her breast, hands, and temples; but the blood had stopped forever. They talked of hope and comfort. They had been strangers too long.
