There’s classics and then there’s CLASSICS and the animated treasure, “Lady and the Tramp” falls in the latter category. It is a classic love story that unfolds between the unlikely pairing of a lovely young pedigreed cocker spaniel named Lady, who lives a pampered life, and Tramp, an amorous street-smart mutt. Although they have fun together on several dates, including a sentimental spaghetti dinner by moonlight at Tony’s restaurant (one of the most iconic movie scenes of all time), their relationship is strained not only by Lady’s loyalty to her human family and their newborn baby.
Lady and the Tramp is beautifully drawn by many of the Disney animation greats and was directed by Clyde Geronimi (Alice In Wonderland, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty), Wilfred Jackson (Snow White, Pinocchio, Dumbo), and Hamilton Luske (Alice In Wonderland, Cinderella, Pinocchio). The music is lovely and with amazing voice talents including the legendary Peggy Lee, it is one of Disney’s best ever movies.
