Lady and the Tramp

Peggy Lee, Barbara Luddy, Larry Roberts, Bill Thompson, Stan Freberg

Lady and the Tramp represented two "firsts" for Disney: It was the studio's first Cinemascope animated feature, and it was their first full-length cartoon based on an original story rather than an est... read more read more...ablished "classic". Lady is the pampered female dog belonging to Jim Dear and Darling. When her human masters bring a baby into the house, Lady feels she's being eased out; and when Darling's insufferable Aunt Sarah introduces her nasty twin Siamese cats into the fold, Lady is certain that she's no longer welcome. The cats wreak all manner of havoc, for which Lady is blamed. After the poor dog is fitted with a muzzle, Lady escapes from the house, only to run across the path of the Tramp, a raffish male dog from the "wrong" side of town. The Tramp helps Lady remove her muzzle, then takes her out on a night on the town, culminating in a romantic spaghetti dinner, courtesy of a pair of dog-loving Italian waiters. After their idyllic evening together, Lady decides that it's her duty to protect Darling's baby from those duplicitous Siamese felines. On her way home, Lady is captured and thrown in the dog pound. Here she learns from a loose-living mutt named Peg that The Tramp is a canine rake. Disillusioned, Lady is more than happy to be returned to her humans, even though it means that she'll be chained up at the insistence of Aunt Sarah. Tramp comes into Lady's yard to apologize, but she wants no part of him. Suddenly, a huge, vicious rat breaks into the house, threatening the baby. Lady breaks loose, and together with Tramp, runs into the house to protect the infant. When the dust settles, it appears to Aunt Sarah that Tramp has tried to attack the child. That's when Lady's faithful friends Jock the bloodhound and Trusty the scottie swing into action, rescuing Tramp from the dogcatcher. Once Jim Dear and Darling are convinced that Tramp is a hero, he is invited to stay...and come next Christmas, there's a whole flock of little Ladies and Tramps gathered around the family. Beyond the usual excellent animation and visual effects, the principal selling card of Lady and the Tramp is its music. Many of the songs were performed and co-written by Peggy Lee, who years after the film's 1955 theatrical issue, successfully sued Disney for her fair share of residuals from the videocassette release. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    Disney's Lady and the Tramp is not the usual Disney animated fare. First of all, the story isn't based on a fairy tale for a change. It's an original story cooked up by Disney himself and his cohorts. It gives them a little bit more freedom as storytellers and do something differ... read moreent for a change, which they did. Second, it was the first film in Disney's animated library that was a widescreen film using the Cinemascope process. Third, it was one of the first times that they used a big name in an acting role (actually three roles): Peggy Lee. This was also a bit of an obsession film for Walt who was an avid animal lover. Most of his most popular characters where animals, but this seemed more articulate. It's not my favorite Disney film in their library, but it's certainly one of their most interesting titles.

    When it comes to cute little dog movies, it's hard to top Lady and the Tramp. It manages to steal your heart with very little ease and tell you a story worth being so invested in. The characters are so well done; none of them need to go out of their way in order to show why they ... read morematter in the story. The great animation and highly relatable relationship between humans and dogs is what makes it still matter so much. It also has one of the most diabolical set of villains the world has ever witnessed: the Siamese Cats of Aunt Sarah.

    An okay Disney movie, it's as if they took the script for a fifties romantic comedy and turned it into a cartoon with dogs. In doing that it's just as predictable as any other romance movie, but with "cute" dogs.

    A truly romantic and beautiful film. Much better than today's romantic comedies.
