Lady and the Tramp

This is really a classic and iconic Disney film. I enjoyed watching it. This is a film for any viewer who is a true fan of dog films. Watching dog films always reminds me of a couple of dogs that were in my family. The cast really committed to the film and to the storyline. The storyline of this film was wonderful. It reveals the true nature of the life of a dog and what they are truly made of. This film also reveals to viewers the reality of love and friendship that anyone could possibly have. My whole life has always been a real struggle. I have been always bullied and never had friends. Never having friends has been a real dark part of my life. I am sure that I am not the only one who has life struggles. These kind of films can help and guide everyone who watches and enjoys this film.

Beautiful animation but sub-par songs and plot make this perhaps my least favorite among the older Disney animated classics. The idea of a mixed-breed animal romance is definitely interesting, but the primary crux of the story is class: will the blue-blood Lady run away with the Tramp or tame his wilder instincts so that they can live together in her upscale home? This is also a story of loneliness, given the sudden loss of interest in her from her owners as they prepare for a baby. The picture-perfect image of small-town America (and evidently in a small Midwestern town or city), as seen from the 1950s, is also very interesting. I couldn't help but notice the "Yale" flag that hangs in the home of "Jim Dear." Maybe a little too much? Sienna enjoyed this when she watched it at around 4 years old; Sebastian saw it in previews and was "excited to learn about the characters" but didn't enjoy it enough to finish it when we watched it in January 2021 (while Sienna was staying overnight in DesMoines for a gymnastics meet).

Yep. It's a dog-lover's delight! Originally released back in 1955 - "Lady and the Tramp" is certainly one of the sweetest animated tales from the Disney canon, ever. This fantasy tale concerns a high-bred spaniel (Lady) and the adventures she has with a raffish, mongrel stray (The Tramp). Since Disney Studios had originally released the film in wide-screen "CinemaScope", more attention was given to the lush backgrounds. It was singer, Peggy Lee who co-wrote the songs and provided the voices of the Siamese cats in one of this film's best-known musical numbers. All-in-all - This movie is great viewing for the entire family.

Sweet little movie. The story of a domestic dog, Lady, who befriends a stray, Tramp. Cue adventures, and not a little romance... Kids will love it. Plot is fairly simple and who doesn't like talking dogs? Entertaining enough for adults too. However, lacks the substance to be a great movie. Doesn't overstay its welcome though and not a bad way to spend 75 or so minutes of your time. Decent animation and good voice casting. Peggy Lee, the singer, provides four of the voices and provides the musical highlight of the movie, The Siamese Cat Song.

Lady and the Tramp sums up what Disney can do so well. When they are good they are very good and that is why this film lives on as a classic. With classic characters, great musical numbers and a strong sense of story this film appeals to both adults and kids equally. There is a warmth and high quality nature to this film that I feel many of these new animated films lack.The combination of pencil drawn animation and fantastic vocal work more than beats the now routine 3D work that film studios force down our necks. This film is one of Disney's best and although the belated sequel is passable it is not a patch on this beloved Disney tale.

i personally feel Disney's 'Lady and the Tramp' is one of cinema's very best and most memorable love stories. and i'm not alone in that opinion. not only were the online reviews almost 99% positive and enthusiastic, but the film has been voted in numerous polls as having the best screen kiss/favorite romantic screen scene. how often do we see the iconic image of lady and tramp eating the spaghetti dinner at Tony's? it's pretty much the standard image represented in most articles or pieces concerning film and romance. 'Lady and the Tramp' is also one of the best told of cinema's love stories and one of classic Disney's best scripted animated features. there is so much in this story that is so memorable and clever and filled with humor that it seems to lack for anything. it also tells a story that has as much depth to it as romantic sentiment. it also has a almost startlingly realistic observation of animals and humans and their interactions with each other. yes, the dogs talk and sing, but so much of their behavior is also very well observed canine nuances. anyone who's ever had a dog will tell you how convincing the animals are in this. i personally had a Cocker myself so i can tell you from experience how real and convincing Lady seems. you can mess up and botch dog illustrations. anyone that's seen the cute, well intentioned but routinely envisioned 'All Doggies Go to Heaven', knows this. no one can pretend that 'All Dogs' even attempted realism. but it isn't just simply a matter of illustration or graphics that make the animals real. it's often the situations and the way they are done that conveys realism so well. the Siamese kits may look a little cartoony and exaggerated, but anyone who has ever owned a cat can tell you that they act like that. especially when small birds and fish are involved in the scenario. and the relationship between dogs and humans are told through an interesting sense of perspective. you rarely see the human's faces up close but instead constantly view them from the dog's eye level. the birth of Darling's baby resonates great beauty and a sense of the human soul. and anyone that knows young married couples, they often start off with small dogs and work their way up to babies. all of this feels so real and so very human. as far as a work of animation, this is probably Disney's most polished and flawlessly perfect of all his classics. even in some of Disney's finest classics there can sometimes be flaws or "rough spots" in the animation and illustration. not with 'Lady and the Tramp'. it is probably Disney's most flawlessly executed hand animated feature. not to mention a perfect blend of all elements including story and songs. Peggy Lee's songs are just about Disney's best. a masterpiece of hand animation, romantic sentiment and of character development, the original 50's Disney classic deserves every bit of love, praise and attention it's been given over the decades.

Lady and the Tramp is a classic Disney. Classic in the sense that it can be taken as an example of a specific era in Disney history - in fact it represents a time in the development of animation. 1955 is the happy time of Disney - Walt was still alive - and everything in Lady and the Tramp reflects this time. The watercolour backgrounds, the animation, anthropomorphism of characters and the accents used, as well as some clichés and half prejudices. Only half, as Disney was well aware of sensitivities... and that his audience was the American melting pot. I like Lady and the Tramp because it is also giving a message that value is inside, it has poetic overtones, some scenes (like the spaghetti dish scenes) are just so funny. This charming story of an "uptown" dog being wooed by a poor but brave dog is really well made. This is the sort of movie made for kids for eternity.

LADY and the TRAMP is one of the most underrated, but endearing Walt Disney animated features. Memorable music and purebred fun. A high-bred and pampered cocker spaniel, Lady(Barbara Luddy), learns to be adventurous and carefree when she meets Tramp(Larry Roberts), a raffish mutt from across the tracks. Spending the night on a hill overlooking town; begging for bones; sneaking into the zoo; running from the dog catcher and that memorable spaghetti and meatball dinner. Other characters in this fantasy are: Trusty and Jock, Darling, Si and Am. Lush backgrounds and "He's A Tramp" sung by Peggy Lee help make this film one to be enjoyed by the whole family. Others lending voices to characters are Bill Thompson, Stan Freberg, Bill Baucom and Miss Lee.

But it's a lot more than that. For 56 years now, "Lady and the Tramp" has won a devoted following based on a love story that could have worked out just as well with live-action and a romance, but here we have it with two dogs - a pampered cocker spaniel and a street-wise mutt. "Lady and the Tramp" contains the kind of innocence and love story that is unfamiliar with our times today, and it is good to see a masterwork from a bygone era. I was only a kid when I first saw "Lady and the Tramp" but I still remember that famous kiss scene, you know the one where the two leads are having a beautifully romantic spaghetti dinner and they take hold of a single string of pasta and consume it, unknowingly bringing their faces together in an unwitting kiss. It's remained with me up until now. I'm a sucker for love stories and "Lady and the Tramp" works, despite its animal characters and Walt Disney family-friendly touch. Lady is the cocker spaniel, who is a gift to a woman from her husband. Lady adores her surroundings and receives the requited love of her owners and a nice home. Six months later, that love hasn't diminished and she is a newly licensed pet. But it's misplaced when she learns that her owners are expecting a child, and suddenly Lady has been unwittingly pushed aside to make room for a new bundle of joy. From the wrong side of the tracks, it's the street-wise Tramp, a known lady-killer who wins Lady's heart after saving her from other common street dogs. They really hit it off, climaxing with the aforementioned romantic dinner and a wonderful animated shot of the moon from a lover's point. Along for the ride are Trusty, a hound dog with a busted sniffer; Jock, a Scottish terrier; and Si and Am, the two sneaky Siamese cats belonging to the husband's snooty aunt. Directed by Clyde Geronimi and Wilfred Jackson and featuring the voices of Peggy Lee, Barbara Luddy and Larry Roberts, the newly restored DVD version with the Platinum Series is the one to get and cherish. I got mine at a Best Buy store today to take advantage of this limited release, and to win a free Tramp plush toy. I would guess that time has been good to "Lady and the Tramp," if a love story of this pedigree is truly worth the praise due to it. I would recommend this Disney classic to any possible female romantic interest as part of our date... if I could land one. 10/10

''Lady and the Tramp'' is one of the most adorable movies from Disney, and until I read in IMDb, I would never guess that it is from 1955! I always imagined it to be from the 70's, I don't know exactly why. Lady is a cute golden cocker spaniel that was a present from '' Dear''(the husband) to '' Darling'(the wife) at Christima's. She was threaded very well since she was a puppy and is an adorable dog that loves to spend her time with her owners. Two of her best friends and neighbors are Jock and Trusty. One day, Tramp, a god without a breed and without a license goes to the wrong side of the town (the rich side) and ends up meeting Lady. She stays scared with his lifestyle, but at the same time she could not avoid fallen in love with the experienced dog. They fall in love at the same time that Lady is having problems at her home ( Darling is pregnant, so, nobody in the home really cares about her as before). But her love with Tramp will have bad consequences, being the first one being caught by the Dog Catcher and knowing more things about Tramp that she actually would like...

Lady and the Tramp, one of my favourite childhood movies, goes down as a classic animation and one that I am sure is enjoyed by children today. Who doesn't like watching cute animals with large, kind eyes? Lady and the Tramp is about love and sacrifice, bringing together a posh female dog with a homeless stray, who is sexy in his own right. Also included are the memorable Siamese trouble-making cats (Peggy Lee) and the wonderful candle-lit scene where are lovable heros enjoy spaghetti. This film should be enjoyed and treasured for years to come. It's gone down in Disney and film history. Although made for children, there isn't any reason why adults cannot enjoy this film.

If this film isn't a classic, I don't know what is! This is a great story about two dogs who fall in love, although they're from different sides of the railroad tracks, so to speak. These dogs act more human than many humans do. It's heartwarming, humorous and just plain clean family entertainment! This is a film that has stood the test of time and passed with flying colors. This is one to BUY and keep! So what are you waiting for? Go buy it!

Fairy tale about the romance between two dogs from opposite sides of the tracks gets colorful, warm, old-fashioned Disney treatment. Cinemascope cartoon unfolds with valentine-like flair, all the ribbons and bows are in place, yet the requisite cutesy flourishes and manipulation inevitably turn up (one dog, thought to have been killed, shows up LIMPING in the next scene!). Yet, it's hard to complain when the rest of the pieces fall into place so snugly. The plot is, by turns, comfortably predictable and still pleasingly reassuring, though a bit heavy with incidental chatter. The Peggy Lee music is delightful, and the "Bella Notte" sequence alone, with the spaghetti, breadsticks and the drippy candle, is simply superb. *** from ****

One of the few Disney cartoons at this period not based on a famous piece of literature--so at least no one can complain that it doesn't do justice to the original! It's an unpretentious little gem, told from the viewpoint of the animals and against interesting backgrounds with superb animation and vocal work. Cat lovers may find it painful to watch how sinister the two Siamese cats are depicted--but not if they have a sense of humor. Actually, the 'Siamese Cat Song' is one of the highlights of Peggy Lee's novelty numbers. 'Bella Notte' and other simple melodies are integrated nicely into the plot with satisfying results. This was the first Disney cartoon made in Cinemascope so the artists had to fill a broader landscape for the camera to photograph. And yet, the transfer to video on VHS format is extremely well handled--you don't feel you're missing anything. I believe the film is also available in letterbox but I find the VHS print I own to be more than satisfactory. Delightful Disney classic for young and old alike.

I grew up watching this movie. I consider it a wonderful movie for both children and adults to watch. While many of today's animated Disney movies are aimed at kids, this movie is from a time where adults were primarily the target audience. This movie lacks the 'kiddie' humor and tells a wonderful tale of genuine emotion and compassion. The love story between two non-human characters removes most bias that we automatically impose upon human characters. I feel that few movies will ever match this one in quality.
