Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: A natural pick for anyone who likes secrets inside secrets and anyone who loves backroom deals and speeches. Nobody is quite who they seem. If you loved Oliver! or The Jungle Book, start here. Power and ambition drive every scene.
The mood: Feel-good.
The pace: Paced for all ages, at 1 hr 9 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off: No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

An orphan endures a harsh life in a workhouse before fleeing to London, where he falls in with a gang of juvenile pickpockets led by the criminal Fagin, and eventually finds a better life, exposing the cruelties of poverty and child labor in Victorian England.
