This film follows the story of Lady, a Cocker Spaniel dog, who was taken by the family Jim Dear and Darling on Christmas Eve. Lady grows from a young pup into a woman, and soon finds herself facing a great change in the household. Darling is expecting a baby. This places Lady in a state of confusion and curiosity. Tramp, a mutt from the wrong side of the tracks, stumbles upon Lady talking about the expecting baby. This sets Lady and Tramp into an unexpected adventure full of love and excitement. This animated film was directed by Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson, and Hamilton Luske. This film was also influenced by Walt Disney who acted as the film's producer. This is the 15th animated classic in the Disney animated vault that remains one of the greatest love stories of all time (only toped by Beauty and the Beast). The animation might not be the best artistically drawn out of the Disney collection, but it's still better than some other films. A lot of the animation is taken from the old artistry of the era. It's story line is what carries film. At it's heart it's a classic love story of upper class meets the downtown streets, and the two opposites attract. It also plays off the general story of a dog's life from a dog's perspective, and keeps true to that belief. I'm glade they kept that truth to it, and it makes the perfect film to dedicate to man's best friend. The popular music all sung by Peggy Lee remains a staple for her career as a film singer (she does still appear in modern films to this day). This animated film also present a new imagery for animation, creating a much wider backdrop. It adds depth to the film, but it doesn't really give the film a broader feel. It is a child's film, and it's a sappy romance, and a story for dog lovers. This makes it the perfect date flick for dog lovers.
This film presented a great cast of voice actors. Barbara Luddy voice the leading role of Lady. She appeared in several other disney films as well, but this was her leading role. She was good at giving her character the feel of being upper class, but not snobbish. Her character had real heart and sophistication. Larry Roberts (Salters) voiced the character Tramp. This was his only known acting role, but it was great. He gave Tramp an amazing personality that is unforgettable. Bill Thompson voiced the character Jock (as well as Dachise and Joe). He did a great job with the various accents. It was also good to see Jock to be the friend with heart, but also enjoys gossiping. Bill Baucom voiced Trusty. He was great in giving life to a former felon hunter. Peggy Lee voice the characters Darling, Si, Am, and Peg. Each of the characters allowed her to sing different songs in different voices. It is great listening to her voice variations, and gave each of them very different personalities.
I give this film 5 out of 5 stars! It's a great romantic film that families can enjoy. This film is differently worthy of being a Disney classic.
