Lady and the Tramp (1955)


Buena Vista Distribution
Directed by Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson and Hamilton Luske
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Walt Disney)

Pampered cocker spaniel "Lady" has her life turned upside down when her owner's have a baby. One day while under the care of an Aunt who wants to muzzle her, she escapes to the rough streets. She is befriended by a carefree mongrel named "Tramp", who saves her from attacking strays then romances her on scraps from an Italian restaurant. She decides, however, that she belongs back home with her family, but before she can get there Tramp's antics land her in the dog pound. The Aunt releases them but a bad encounter with a rat almost ruins the homecoming. Classic animated Disney has well-developed characters and plot, but missing a lushness in the animation that keeps it from being in the top tier. Siamese cat sequence is memorable.
