Review of Lady and the Tramp (1955) by Chris B — 10 Feb 2012
Disney's Lady and the Tramp is not the usual Disney animated fare. First of all, the story isn't based on a fairy tale for a change. It's an original story cooked up by Disney himself and his cohorts.
It gives them a little bit more freedom as storytellers and do something different for a change, which they did. Second, it was the first film in Disney's animated library that was a widescreen film using the Cinemascope process.
Third, it was one of the first times that they used a big name in an acting role (actually three roles): Peggy Lee. This was also a bit of an obsession film for Walt who was an avid animal lover. Most of his most popular characters where animals, but this seemed more articulate.
It's not my favorite Disney film in their library, but it's certainly one of their most interesting titles.
