Awww... Lady And The Tramp is perhaps the most heartwarming animated film of all time. Having loved it since I can remember, it has always stuck with me! It shows how beautiful the world really can be by animals, families and pleasant and friendly neighbourhoods. What I feel is so special about Lady And The Tramp is that there is nothing mythical or fictional about this at all. Like there doesn't need any fantasy within for it to succeed. I tell you it wouldn't have been a success if there was fiction involved. Yeah, there are talking dogs but the owners don't know about it and also they have their own language anyway so we don't understand them.
Lady is a young female cocker spaniel who lives with her owners Jim Dear and Darling. She grew up very peacefully and couldn't have asked for anything better. She has great friends with the names of Jock (Scottish terrier) and Trusty (bloodhound). On the other side of the story, a mongrel dog that lives on the street that comes himself Tramp is having fun with his life but once he meets Lady, they both forge a romance and a powerful combination like nobody else could. What I love about the chemistry between Lady and Tramp is that they both separate class dogs who have different lives (you can tell by their names and the neighbourhood they live in) but their personalities are just so similar and they bond together almost instantly.
Lady And The Tramp was the first Disney animated feature filmed in CinemaScope. The finished film is slightly different from what was originally planned. Although both the original script and the final product shared most of the same elements, it would still be revised and revamped. Originally, Lady was to have only one next door neighbor, a Ralph Bellamy-type canine named Hubert. Instead of being called 'The Tramp', they went through a number of suggested names including Homer, Rags, and Bozo but did decide in the end to stick with Tramp. I cannot believe that Lady And The Tramp didn't earn any Oscar nominations at all when it should have! At least have one for Best Original Score because the score was breathtaking like almost every Disney.
Overall, Lady And The Tramp is a very moving, tear jerking and fun Disney Classic that deserves its rightful place as one of the best animated films of all time.
