About Lady and the Tramp:

A classic love story unfolds in the best Disney tradition as a lovely young pedigreed cocker spaniel named Lady, who lives a pampered life, finds herself falling romantically for Tramp, an amorous street-smart pooch without prospects. Although they have fun together on several dates, including a sentimental spaghetti dinner by moonlight at Tony’s restaurant, their relationship is strained not only by Lady’s loyalty to her human family and their newborn baby, but by Tramp’s devil-may-care attitude that eventually gets Lady in trouble and tossed into the dog pound. However, good-hearted Tramp redeems himself by saving the baby from potential harm and thus wins Lady’s love and the affection of her human family.

 Breathtaking Animation!

Lady and the Tramp,   an animated film  produced by  Walt Disney,   was originally introduced to theaters on June 22, 1955.  I’m able to recall enjoying this timeless classic while I was a child more than 35 years ago with my mom and dad.  Told from the dog’s perspective, the heart warming tale of a pampered Cocker Spaniel who’s adored by her owners  and falls deeply in love with a mongrel from the wrong side of the tracks named Tramp,  is among one of my personal favorite Disney movies of all time.

It’s difficult to pick out just one favorite moment in the film, however, if I had to it would be the scene with the mischievous, slinky Siamese cats as they taunt Lady and sing.  On the other hand, the popular romantic clip of  Tramp and Lady sharing a spaghetti dinner is unforgettable as well.

To have the ability to share this movie with my son in an all-new breathtaking digital restoration in high definition is undoubtedly an awesome treat!  The music, the lovable characters, and crisp animation makes this  the best animated love story in my film collection!
