Rating: Summary: A class act Review: A truly great Disney film. The music stands out & it is hard to believe this film is over 45 years old. No extras again, but great picture quality.
Rating: Summary: Even a dog could rate this 5 stars! Review: Quite simply, Disney's most effective and saccharine movie to date, it is an adorable movie with unforgettable characters, and Disney's trademark impeccable attention to detail in making the moves and mannerims of a cartoon dog true to life. How can a person with a heart that isn't made of stone watch the ever-so-famous (and ever-so-repeated) "spaghetti scene" and end watching it with a dry eye? It is virtually impossible. "La Bella Notte" is a beautiful song. All the characters are beautifully drawn, and the romance between Lady and the Tramp is poignant and believable. This is a truly welcome- and why not, essential, too?- addition to the collection of any good film viewer. Films such as these are not made anymore, and that is a pity of course.If you haven't watched this, do yourself a favor. Anyone who is anyone would love this film...especially the dogs, ladies and tramps of the world!
Rating: Summary: Lady and the Tramp Review: After enjoying the classic version of this movie, which I would rate a five star movie in every way, we inadvertantly purchased the messed up "Fully Restored" "Masterpiece" version. Throughout the whole movie my wife and I looked at each other making comments to each other like "there it goes again, the voice changed", and, "I don't remember that", while our daughter, who usually enjoys this movie to no end wandered the room playing with her Barbies. Disney "Fully Restored" this movie as only the current Disney could. They must have assumed right away that it needed alot of improvement (mistake), added scenes (to further explain the story to the audience? another mistake), and added a whole lot of dialog (again, to further explain the story? An incredibly large mistake.) Or maybe this was all done to make it look more like the sequel, and to charge a few more quid. First, the movie needed no improvement, it IS a masterpiece in its original form. It is a classic story, told and illustrated in a very good format. The new scenes are unnecessary, to say the least. Our child loved to follow the story from scene to scene rivetted to the tale, the interaction between the dogs, and the action in the chases. I know that I loved that too. Now with the new scenes and the added dialog it is just too much. The dialog is the most disappointing part of this tape! The original voices are kept from the original scenes, and new sometimes very dissimilar, voices are used in the new scenes. Peggy Lee's voice is there, and then its not. Another voice with some random city accent is added. The same for the other characters. The emphasis is on the dogs and their interaction with the human characters as another creature in their lives in the original version. Now the humans have much more of a part in the movie taking the focus away from the dogs. The original Lady and the Tramp, Aristocats, and others were very well written and directed. Disney took those very good movies and did a ruinous adaptation. On the reverse side of the box it says, in very hard to read script, "This film has been modified from its original version. It has been formatted to fit your TV." How misleading!
Rating: Summary: Another good movie from Disney Review: "Lady and the Tramp" isn't the best Disney film ever made, but it's a good one. It's about Lady, and Tramp, a street dog that teaches Lady more ways of living. Lady struggles with her owners once they have a new baby, and she struggles even more once Aunt Sarah comes to the house to take care of the baby. That's when Tramp, Boris, and Trusty keep her company to keep her from becoming too depressed. Some of the scenes you'll remember from "Lady and the Tramp" are when Tramp takes Lady on a trip to the zoo, and when Trusty chases down a dog pound truck. The movie has some good songs and it'll keep you interested from the start of the movie to the end, without losing your attention. If you like Disney movies, I recommend getting "Lady and the Tramp." Lady and the Tramp II is coming out soon on video also.
Rating: Summary: Disney's Lady and the Tramp Review: It goes without saying that this is a classic! The thing that impressed me most about this DVD was the Dolby Digital 5.1!!! That brought this timeless movie to a whole new level! Disney should make this feature standard on all their DVD releases. I recently purchased Disney's Robin Hood, I really miss the sound I received from Lady and the Tramp. Robin hood is in "Mono/Dolby 1.0" I would highly recommend this DVD as one of the best.
Rating: Summary: Charmed Review: "Lady and the Tramp" is most assuredly my favourite Disney movie. It's Charming and sweet, and it always brings me to be in the happiest mood. I believe that there is a vast audience that could enjoy this animation. In fact, I'm planning on watching it with my boyfriend (the punk) on our next date. This truly is a very special movie.
Rating: Summary: Dazzling movie which touches the heart Review: If you're looking for a movie which will touch your heart, this one should be at the top of your list. The dinner that lady has with the tramp at Tony's (remember Tramp sharing, and that great song?) may bring tears of joy to your eyes. Yes, the price is high, but this is a movie you can watch again and again because of the wonderful characters, the great songs, and the beautiful animation. Also, Disney has done an incredible frame by frame digital restoration of the entire movie and soundtrack. This is an extremely expensive and time-consuming process, which is why only a few Disney animated classics have had this kind of attention lavished on them (and why apparently no other movie studio seems to attempt anything like it with their older films). What the restoration means for a DVD owner is that the movie looks and sounds almost exactly as it did if you had walked into a movie theater the day it premiered in 1955. There is not a single distracting scratch on any frame of the film, not is there a single pop of static in the sound. For some movies, perhaps, that might not make a big difference, but for a classic as great as Lady and the Tramp, it does.
Rating: Summary: Great! Review: One of the best Disney films. Excellant music & characters to remember. Frank Thomas did himself proud with the scene at Tony's restaurant.
Rating: Summary: Best Disney film ever! Review: This was one of the best family films I have ever seen. It is cute, funny, and all-in-all great! It's a classic and a must buy!
Rating: Summary: Widescreen DVD is perfect! Review: Disney Home Video has done an excellent job on this DVD -- the widescreen version of this Disney favorite gives animation fans the experience of enjoying the entire film in its original theatrical form. Can't wait to see the future Disney DVD's in the DISNEY GOLD COLLECTION secheduled to be released this year. Hopefully, ALL TITLES WILL BE WIDESCREEN, especially "Rescuers Down Under" - "The Fox & the Hound" - "The Black Cauldron" - "Bedknobs & Broomsticks" and "The Aristocats"
