From Walt Disney comes the magical and delightful heartwarming animated classic Lady and the Tramp. The story follows a young dog named Lady whose world is turned upside down when her family has a baby; which leads her to take up with the Tramp, a street dog who shows her what a dog’s life is like free of human owners. The characters are really colorful, and feature an array of different types of dogs. And, there’s a lot of clever humor and fun musicals numbers. Lady and the Tramp is a marvelous film that the whole family can enjoy.
Fairy tale about the romance between two dogs from opposite sides of the tracks gets colorful, warm, old-fashioned Disney treatment.
This movie is tricky, but touching.
'Lady and the Tramp' is a sweet film.
One of the best from Disney's early animated years, as it takes you on a journey to portray the lives of two different dogs - Lady and Tramp. Lady is voiced Barbara Luddy, who is perfect for the role as shes suits it so well. Tramp is voiced by Larry Roberts, again in a strong manner.
None of the others stand out, except perhaps Bill Thompson (Jock) and Bill Baucom (Trusty), though this film is more renowned for its story, visuals and songs - all of which are excellently made. There are some lovely scenes, particularly around Tony's.
Ideal for family viewing.
Gorgeously-animated romantic fluff from the tail end of Disney's golden age. At this point, the creative team has completely mastered the art of fluidly animating animal life. They've been coaxing birds and elk and mice to move and express themselves like humans, all while retaining their unique canter and physical traits, for decades. As the latest evidence of such skilled mastery, Lady and the Tramp looks absolutely spectacular. Everything from the meticulous details (the Tramp's playful, springy gait) to the more vibrant strokes (an armload of essential fight and chase scenes) is right on point, a picture-perfect realization.
When compared to those wonderful visuals and the frequent, catchy musical interludes, the accompanying plot feels secondary at best. Lady is a pampered, socially-protected upper class pet, meek but well-mannered, while the Tramp is her opposite: a scruffy, street-savvy mongrel who lives a free life amidst the constant threat of a dogcatcher's net. Their romance falls together suddenly, spanning just a single night, and doesn't seem nearly as grand or sweeping as the gilded memories might have us believe.
That's not to say there isn't a bit of magic at play here - the famous candle-lit spaghetti dinner remains an enchanting bit of thematic Disney spell-weaving - but, in this case, the film's extra-short duration works against its own best interests. At a trim seventy-six minutes, it's all over and done with in no time, with the closing scenes feeling especially rushed. Good while it lasts, especially as a sheer visual spectacle, but I think it would've benefited from another six months in the oven.
8 - Great
Obviously a movie about two dogs falling in love is going to be great!
I'm not huge on animated movies as it is. Some are decent, some are really elite (The Incredibles, Toy Story, etc) but then there's movies like Lady And The Tramp. It would be entertaining for a child, and it has an okayish message . . . but I couldn't get into it. The humor wasn't there for me (I found the funniest part of the movie to be that lady thought Jim's name was "Jim Dear") and the story didn't do it either. I can appreciate what it was going for, and the trademark spaghetti scene was good . . . but you can watch that scene on YouTube. The movie feels much longer than it is. 4/10.

Tony is the real MVP. Putting together a nice spaghetti dinner for two random dogs and then playing the accordion so they get in the mood.
