Lady & The Tramp
By Jane Louise BoursawMPAA Rating: G
Lady is a snooty Cocker Spaniel from a high-class neighborhood. Tramp is a street-smart mongrel from the wrong side of the tracks. But when their mouths inadvertently come together on the same strand of spaghetti, it's pure magic. How these two pooches come to dine at a little Italian café is a storyline straight out of vintage Hollywood. Beloved by her owners, Lady gets short shrift when a human baby arrives on the scene. Things go from bad to worse a few months later when her owners head off on a trip and the ill-tempered Aunt Sarah arrives to babysit, bringing along two chaos-causing Siamese cats. When Lady gets blamed for their shenanigans, she finds herself in the doghouse, then on the run, where she encounters the rascal Tramp. The 50th Anniversary Edition DVD, released in February, 2006, includes loads of extras: all-new digital restoration, never-before-seen deleted sequences, 1943 original storyboard, The Making of Lady and the Tramp, Disney Dog Trivia virtual board game, and more. It was fun when you saw it then, and it's even more fun to share with your kids now. 76 min. 1955.
