Fagin, for example, is less of a scoundrel and more of a wise mentor in this version. It is also notable for drastically changing the personalities of all the named characters in the original book. This version of the tale turns every main character into a Funny Animal, despite everyone else being a normal human. After this, the show settles into an episodic format, in which the main cast experiences all sort of adventures, while trying to avoid the workhouse master, who desperately wants to return Oliver to the workhouse. Oliver succeeds and is invited to stay with them. Fagin allows Oliver to live with them if he proves himself, through three tasks. Having enough of his life at the workhouse, he escapes and is saved by the rabbit Artful Dodger, who takes him to Fagin's Brotherhood, led by the wise fox Fagin. After asking the workhouse master for more food, he is punished into doing all the dishes. The cartoon starts with Oliver, an anthropomorphic dog who lives in a nasty workhouse. It first aired on February 1996 and ran for 52 episodes. 'Saban's Adventures of Oliver Twist' is a loose animated adaptation of the eponymous book written by Charles Dickens, produced by Saban International Paris.
