Rating: Summary: Aww... Puppy love! Review: Cute movie, definitely not as good as the original though. Not nearly as moving or well put together. Younger children should get a laugh out of some of the slapstick kind of antics with the dog catcher. Adults will probably be cringing a little though. One of the things I didn't like was the way they incorporated some of the songs. I really didn't like the Junkyard Dogs breaking out into some long, involved song. I fastforwarded through that the second time I watched it. Oh, and the opening song sequence was too much like Beauty and the Beast, with the townfolk walking around singing. Two of the songs were well done though. The best parts of the film were the Angel and Scamp scenes. Angel is absolutely adorable with her tough exterior but hidden longing for a family, and if they come out with Angel merchandise, even at 22 years old, I will be the first in line to buy it! :) They even revisit Lady and the Tramp's walk through the park, and of course, there is spaghetti involved. But since Angel and Scamp are still young pups, look for sauce flying and spaghetti splattering everywhere instead of the refined meal that Lady and the Tramp shared once upon a time. The scene still manages to end very sweetly, with the two Italian chefs from the original movie looking on. Worth watching just to see the cute, innocent, first puppy love that unfolds between Angel and Scamp. And the tension and eventual understanding that springs up between Tramp and Scamp is also well depicted. The other in-between stuff, especially the Junkyard Dogs and the dogcatcher, you just kind of have to suffer through. Or fast forward through.
Rating: Summary: A great dog movie Review: Movie was great...especially for a sequel. If you loved lady and the tramp(as I do) then your sure to enjoy the story of scamp's adventure.
Rating: Summary: very good movie for the dvd collection Review: I thought this movie was very cute and fun a good story that the whole family can enjoy and the kid's can watch over and over, The dvd transfer is crisp and colorful and in my opion better then most ,bonus feature's are nice too you get three pluto cartoon's and a making of feautrette, audio commentery from the filmmaker's and hide and seek a intractive game that can be played on your tv, instead of most time computer only. Buy this movie and if your debating between vhs and dvd spend the extra 2 or 3 dollar's and get the dvd you will be glad you did.
Rating: Summary: Really cute! Review: For a sequal, this wasn't too bad. The storyline could've been a little more original, I guess, but it's a very enjoyable movie nonetheless. Lady and Tramp's son, Scamp, runs off with a gang of junkyard dogs because he wants to be wild and free. He falls in love with Angel, to make a long story short, and has to decide whether he wants to go home-like she wants him to-or fulfill his dream of being a wild dog. The music is good, though there was one song in a commerical that sounded nice and wasn't in the movie, and the animation is wonderful. Most of the old characters are still there-Aunt Sara and the cats, Jock, Trusty-except I wish they would've assured us that Peg and the other pound dogs got homes. I also wish they'd have revealed what Old Reliable used to say. But anyway, the new characters are cool-Buster, Mooch, and especially Ruby-and this movie is very different from the first one. It's not quite as good as it, but if you liked the original, you'll like this and shouldn't be dissappointed.
Rating: Summary: BAD NEWS Review: Let's see, first and most important, my children who love the original and generally enjoy the first showing of a movie, lost interest within 30 minutes. Secondly, if you want a commercialized, rehashed, poor animated, short movie that gives you a warm & fuzzy because they chant the word "family" then this is for you. Enjoy.
Rating: Summary: Cute non-scary sequel with new characters and old Review: If you've hated "Zero to Hero," "Return of Jafar",and other made for home video sequels, this one will be a pleasant surprise. True the storyline isn't as catchy for the adult audience, but my kids love it! It's not the Saturday a.m. cartoon-type video that Disney has been selling for years as sequels or Little Mermaid stories("Stormy the Seahorse, etc.)or those awful Pooh Learning series. The story emphasizes understanding a kid's independence and importance of having a loving family. True, the songs aren't real memorable, but the animation is good.
Rating: Summary: One of the best movies to be relased right to video Review: If you liked the original lady & the tramp which is my favorite movie of all time your sure to love the sequel
Rating: Summary: Cute and innocent. The World of disney Review: saw it at a test screening missing some scenes. cute from what I saw.
Rating: Summary: Who let the dogs out? :) Review: I thought this was surprisingly good for a Disney sequel. Tramp's son, Scamp, yearns to be a "wild dog" and sets out stubbornly to do so. Along the way we see many backgrounds from the first 'Lady and the Tramp'. Old characters are seen as well, from the Siamese cats to old Trusty and Jock. The plot itself is pretty good and goes along nicely. The only time your interest might wane is during the songs which aren't very up to par. The 'Junkyard Rag' started off great, but could've been much better. The characters are great and I really liked Buster. He was sort of like Steele (Balto) and Scar (Lion King) combined. The other Junkyard dogs seemed to fade into the background though once the story gets rolling. Lady's three girl pups, however, are hilarious, and their voices are perfect.The only problems I had with this movie was: The boring songs. How quickly the Junkyard Dogs, (except for Buster,) found a home. The annoying Dog Catcher. When Buster sees Tramp again after all these years he hardly reacts. And Scamp's odd voice. I thought Scamp's voice should've been younger, he sounds more like a teenage dog than a pup.Not quite as good as the original, but I still recommend it. Disney seems to have gotten the "hang" of making sequels....let's see if they can keep it up.
Rating: Summary: Rehashed and Pathetic. Review: Take the original, turn it around a little, and you get this piece of trash. It's sad that this is what Disney has bent to - taking successful films, and turning them into lamed, limping sequels. While children might find the story entertaining and adorable, their parents will likely find it lacking and a poor attempt to ride on the success of another film. It felt cheap and dirty to me, and like a formula film - which it truely is. Along with a rash of other "II" movies the plot goes like this: Protagonist of first film has kids. Kids face similar issues their parents faced - perhaps with some reversal of situations. Villian of last film is 'not really dead' or has some sort of successor that's pretty much just like them. Kids learn same lessons. The end. I think it's one of the sad indicators of Disney's current attitude towards animation.
