 Lady And The Tramp (Special Edition, 2 DVDs)
Description: Genre: Children's DVDs / Theatrical Release: 1955 / Director: Hamilton Luske, Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson / DVD ... more  Lady And The Tramp (Special Edition, 2 DVDs) ... released 13 February, 2006 at Walt Disney Pictures / Features of the DVD: Animated, Box set, Dubbed, PAL, Special Edition, Widescreen / Rightly one of Disney’s most celebrated animated classics, Lady and the Tramp is the story of a romance between two dogs from different walks of life. On the one hand, there’s Lady, a golden cocker spaniel used to a very good life. And then she meets a mongrel, who goes by the name of Tramp. Clearly from the wrong side of town, Tramp and Lady nonetheless strike up a friendship, and when fate plays its hand, the two set off on their travels together, which doesn’t quite go quite as either expected. Made in an age where Disney animation was on tip-top form, there’s so much to enjoy here it’s hard to know where to start. The exquisite animation and carefully woven script though both provide an excellent grounding for the film, which is then considerably enhanced by a wonderful musical score. Add in that scene, often parodied, as the two share a romantic meal in an Italian restaurant, and a pair of characters that you can’t help but root for, and you have an unmissable classic for the whole family to enjoy. Lady and the Tramp successfully weaves together moments of comedy, adventure and music really quite seamlessly. And yet, at its heart, this is a tender, extremely well told love story, that rightly sits as one of the finest animated movies the Disney empire have created. Great stuff.--Simon BrewNewest Review: ... his wife, Darling, from Jim Dear. These names are what Lady hears as the couple speak to each other and so this is what she ... more ... calls them. Lady is a puppy cocker spaniel who is given, in a cardboard box tied with ribbon. For me, as in life , the puppy stage of Lady’s life shows her at her cutest and most adorable, despite the many mishaps which the family encounter.
This period however is only brief in the film. She has a few funny, naughty moments settling in to her new home and the next time that we see her she is full grown. Life is peaches and cream but it is not destined to stay this way.

Pleas note that this is a film only review The Lady and the Tramp, is one of Disney’s early classics and one of my favourites also. It was first released to cinema audiences in August 1955. Disney kept all these early animations away from our television screens for many years. Far too many. As a child all we ever saw was a taster on television at Easter or Christmas in a Disney-time special, which showed brief clips. So there was nothing for it as a child but to watch it at the cinema on one of those memorable family outings. I have such fond memories of these times and also these sort of films. Eventually maybe 10-15 years ago ...

Slushy sentimentality, animals made human, a stack of great songs and an honest to goodness happy ending arising from the depths of despair. It can only possibly be Disney, but it would be hard pressed to suss out exactly which one is the film under consideration because the Walt Disney series of animated features is nothing if not faithful to a formula which once established and proven is not to be ignored. Think of them - Snow White, Cinderella, The Aristocats, The Jungle Book, The Fox and The Hound - they're all essentially the same with only minor variations around the ultra consistent central theme. Well, the subject of this review is one of the ...
