Summary: Playfully Coaches Children To Make Right Choices
Review: Lively, colorful and fast paced, this fun and well developed story playfully coaches children in making the right choices. Shows positive parenting: concern and discipline when necessary; but always love, even when the child does wrong. Our children related very well to the characters and the conflict. "It is better to have a home than be part of a group." "It taught me to come home. Home is the best place." "I sometimes feel like Scamp, but I wouldn't run away." "Do dogs really eat spaghetti?" Great animation. Best for ages 2 to 5.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disappointment
Review: I really like the original Lady and the Tramp, and this is a sad attempt to cash in on the fans of that movie.

I'd suggest renting it first to see if you like it before investing. My 3.5 year old has only watching half of it. He asked us to put in a different tape.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Yet another sequel!
Review: Disney has definatly been into the sequel making this year with Little Mermaid II return to the sea, Toy Story II, Lady and the Tramp II, and coming soon Hunchback of Notre Dame II, and in 2002 Cinderella II. However each of them have been or will be good...Lady and the ramp II was excellent. It takes place only a few months after Lady and Tramp get hitched in the original movie and now they have pups, three girls and a boy. The boy wants nothing but freedom he doesn't believe that sitting around in a house is what dogs should be doing. "Rules, Rules, Rules!" is his sarcastic reply to most of what his father says to him. However as most Disney movies, there are so many morals in this wonderful masterpiece about home is where you belong and where the love is. Your children will watch this and fall in love with all the characters, well maybe not Buster! It may be a good idea for them to watch Lady and the Tramp the original to get familiarized with some of the characters. But even if they don't they will fall in love with the movie.

Disney did a great job matching voices for this masterpiece as most of the original voices have sinced passed on. Jodi Benson does the voice of Lady and for those of you that are big Little Mermaid fans she also did the voice for Ariel in both the original and the sequel. Disney originally didn't want her to have the part because they said too many people would associate the voice with Ariel, however Jodi went home and made a demo of her voice doing Ladies voice and sent it in anonomously and Jodi got the part because Disney thought it was a perfect match to Barbara Luddy's voice in the original! A great buy and a great movie to watch over and over for ages 1-101

Summary: Moral of the story: Family values
Review: This is probably the best Disney story, because of the moral of the story. Scamp, in his pre-teen years, wants to try his independance and runs away from home, tempted by "Buster" a COOOOOOL junk-yard dog. Scamp learnt later, that home is the best place to be. Buster was not there for him when he needed it. But Dad was. It's an excellent excellen movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Ever!
Review: When I first saw the movie I was CRAZY about it! I kept barking like Scamp and driving my big sister crazy. I love Angel, Scamp Lady,Tramp I LOVE THEM ALL! (except Buster)My favorite scene is when Scamp sings the song, "A world without fences." "Lady and the Tramp II is the best! Own it today!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Long awaited!
Review: With the latest string of Disney theatrical releases having no more character singing voices, Lady and the Tramp II comes as a long awaited relief to traditional Disney fans. Roger Bart and Susan Egan team up again as singing voices of Scamp and Angel, following their first collaboration in Disney's Hercules as Hercules and Meg. The plot is well paced and nicely attempts to bring the viewers to feel from the dogs' perspectives.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I wasn't suprised, I mean come on were you?
Review: By this time all of us must know that Disney can NOT write sequels. After all the only reason they are writing these sequels is because (lets face it) Disney no longer is going to the trouble to make NEW movies with NEW ideas. This movie was actually surpisingly like the little mermaid Two, they both copied from the original (except switiching around where the main charcters wanted to be), and they both had INCREDIBLY bad music.

Ok, I'm not saying that no one will like this movie, and I'm not asking you to take my word for it here are a few reasons why this movie was so bad.

First of all the voices were PAINFULLY diffrent, anyone who has watched the first Lady and the Tramp will be pained to hear Tramps,Ladys,Jocks and Trusty's voices. They are just TOO diffrent.

Secondly, the songs just didn't kick off. Disney songs never ryhmne anymore, and never have any tunes ANY ONE could write their kind of songs. Actually I suppose you could make quite a bit of money writing their songs for them, first don't make any tune just sort of tell the actors to make it up as they go along. Then, make up lyrics that don't ryhme and don't really make sense.

Thirdly, *sigh* this is exactly the same plot as the first one except Scamp wants to go back to the streets.

Fourthly, Tramp's little sister's voices were really awful.

Ok I could go on and on and on and on and on and on, but lets cut it short. Now let me see I would like to list a couple of good points for this movie so just give me a minute:

1. Um......I'll come back to this point later. 2. I'll come back to this one too 3. I'll come back to this one too 4.I'll come back to this one too

Ok, I guess I'll have to give it some serious thought, Oh well while I am giving it some thought just go and buy a first rate movie for your kids like 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Low-budget animation done well
Review: It could have been so much worse.

Yes, it's a low-budget direct-to-video production. And yes, it is merely a money-making sequel to one of the great animated films. But it's a good low-budget money-making sequel. Computer animation techniques are used well, if not spectacularly. The dogcatcher's car, and all the gates and fences are computer-animated, and reasonably well.

The writers and animators clearly feel a responsibility to be true to the original, and also feel free to write a new story. The result has both the freshness of originality and the joys of nostalgia. Lady and Tramp have become parents, and have taken on more responsibilities, and also a little frustration with the puppies. The new characters, notably Angel and Buster, feel like they belong in the story. Angel is the girl-puppy Scamp meets on the streets, and Buster is the junkyard dog who has risen to leadership after the Tramp disappeared from the streets.

Scamp is out on the streets to be a real wild dog, and has only contempt for his house-dog parents. When the junkyard dogs start reminiscing about the great legendary street dog, and Scamp eventually realizes that they're talking about his Dad, the scene is both reminiscent of, and wildly different from, Lady's similar education about the Tramp in the first film. Similarly, while Scamp and Angel eat at Tony's like Lady and the Tramp did, the scene is quite different. It's not the suave Tramp showing off his favorite restaurant, but two nervous teenagers on a first date.

Some moments ring quite true, as when Tramp goes out on the streets to look for his son, and wishes he were still the old Tramp. If you are familiar with the original, you'll meet a lot of old friends, including Jim Dear, Darling, Jock, Trusty, Si, Am, and Aunt Sara. You'll also recognize the house, the backyard, the pound, and many of the street scenes. They took the care to get the details right.

The segue from the first serious talk between Scamp and Angel to the next danger scene was very well handled. It's a perfectly timed sequence, and I WON'T give you any details.

All in all, a pretty good original story (aimed more at kids than at grown-ups), competent animation, characters I can believe in, and enough nostalgia to make me happy. If you've seen the first one, this will feel like a worthy lower-budget sequel, not like a travesty.

Not bad. Not bad at all.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Oh, no...well, what was I expecting, anyway?
Review: Disney can't write an orignal sequal for its life. This movie is extremely corny and the voices sound way over-acted! You can tell right in the beginning it's going to be a cheesy, goody-goody film. It doesn't even stand well on its own, never mind live up to the original. Disney obviously threw something together really quickly and came out with it. And oh, wow, Scott Wolfe and Alyssa Milano are the two love puppies, it must be SOOOOOO great! Come on, gimme a break. They're not even that good at it. The music in this movie is pathetic, absolutely pathetic. I've never seen such a cheap score before. What I mean about over-acted voices is evident in the first few "oh-no-this-isn't-going-to-get-better-and-shoot-i-waited-all-that-time" minutes. Jim Dear "scolding" Scamp sounds SO fake. Whoever said it was bad to see his and his wife's faces was right, too. Treacherous artists! Oh, and the doofy "father-son bond" between Scamp and Tramp is directly taken from the Lion King. These people steal material from their own productions!! Mr. So-Cool Buster of the junkyard dogs is just Oliver & Co's Dodger put in a Doberman body. The other dogs in his pack are also copies of other characters from other films. OK, certain little things are funny, like Danielle-the dimwitted, amusing sister-but all in all this was a big disappointment. They need to come up with some better storylines before they try any other "part II's." The original L&T masterpiece is shamed by its second, pitiously short half.

Rating: 5 stars
