An average movie

Among all the classics released through the rich history of Disney, this movie is probably not one of my favorites but I have to admit that it is quite charming. First of all, as usual, the animation was just top-noch. My favorite part was probably the first 10 minutes, when Lady is introduced to her family. Indeed, even though I'm not myself a huge fan of the whole concept of pets, my wife is a huge dog lovers and, right now we have 7 of them (I know, it is a lot and that's a rather long story...). So, I can say I'm a little bit familiar with the behavior of dogs in a general and those first 10 minutes were just completely convincing and quite fascinating to watch. Unfortunately, they couldn't help it, they had to make those dogs talk. Seriously, it must be one of Disney's most annoying trademarks, the way they always have to make all animals talk. On top of that, I thought it was always rather condescending the way they tried to romanticize the life of stray dogs. And yet, in spite of these flaws, it does work anyway and the spaghetti scene must be one of the most romantic moments I have ever seen. Anyway, to conclude, even though I don't think it is really amazing, it is still a solid animated feature and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
