TxMike My wife and I watched this at home on BluRay from our public library. The picture and sound are flawless and there are a couple of worthwhile extras.I have been watching movies for a long, long time. I obviously was aware of this one, I had seen a few clips of certain scenes over the years, but had never actually watched it ... until last night.A young couple get the puppy they call Lady, actually the man gives it to his wife as a gift. Lady is a fine and obedient pet, all is well. Until the wife gets pregnant and Lady feels somewhat ignored. And outside she meets other dogs, including the charming mutt named Tramp.Through all this a mean aunt with two Siamese cats comes to sit for the new baby when the parents go out of town for a few days. Things get out of hand, and eventually Tramp has to come to the rescue. All's well that ends well and that is how this story is resolved.We have gotten so accustomed to digital animation I had forgotten how good traditional animation can look when done right. This one definitely was done right.

Filipe Neto This is the unlikely love story between a Cocker Spaniel from a rich house and a mongrel dog who lives on the street. Directed by Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson and Hamilton Luske, the film has a script by Erdman Penner and his team, based on a short story by Ward Greene.This is one movie of the golden age of Disney Studios, a classic that has appealed to generations of children and adults. Like many novels, the film shows, in a fun and light way, as love transcends social barriers. For children this works well, but the film becomes too predictable for adults who usually accompany them. This is not a serious defect: this film is for children, but even adults will have fun with the funniest scenes and the situational comedy that runs through the screen. The romantic scenes are deeply moving, showing love in its most beautiful and pure face. The voice work is good and has many experienced artists. The drawings are good, made without artifice or computerization, the old fashioned way. The songs are also good, but the highlight is certainly to "Bella Notte", one of the most romantic songs used in animated films so far.Although its not one of my favorites, this film promises to delight children and give good times and good memories for adults, with some nostalgic tears.

BronwynN I was four when Lady first met her Tramp. That was a lie t of years ago. Yet, to this day, I can't think of this film without both smiles and tears, and it doesn't matter that I've seen it it dozens.of times, both in theaters and my home. Because of the master storytellers at Disney's magic palace, I craved a cocker spaniel. After AfterbAfter all, what else does a little girl need?Lady and the tramp, like all of Walt Disney's films, has laughter, drama, pathos, tears, and, perhaps most importantly, a happy ending. If you have a child, it should be approached carefully because it can be a traumatic experience. I still remember what a trial it was for me to see this film the first time, and how many tissues I went through. But I cannot recommend this movie enough, because it can help a child more fully appreciate how wonderful dogs are, and how gentle care of one can help a person learn regard for all life.If you are a parent, invest in Disney films. If you are not a member of that class, invest in them for your own benefit. They are still, many, many years after my first introduction to each of them, a genuine treasure of my life. Thank you, Uncle Walt, for filling my childhood with gentle education.

Adam Peters (82%) A film that is as adorable, sweet, and charming as the characters featured, and best of all as I wondered at times if whether this was released in the late 1960's or perhaps the early-to-mid. And the fact is I was quite a way off mainly because this has developed into sheer timelessness. Having never once watched this as a child, probably due to being way too busy watching Robocop and Mad Max, but that doesn't really matter because this is real quality Disney product and anyone can and probably will enjoy it. I loved the attention to detail in the animation, with its elements of Grimshaw and moonlit vistas. You just don't get films that look like this any more, and I doubt the suits at Disney now would allow such darkness to creep in anywhere and frighten the kiddies meaning the scenes with the spooky rat would probably have to go, and the film wouldn't be as good. It's not overly long, or filled with musical numbers that honestly children don't really like anyway. Just a simple semi-romantic well told picture that just so happens to be better than many live action love stories featuring humans released before or since.
