| DVD Description It's still one of the sweetest kisses onscreen, up there with Bergman and Grant, Bogey and Bacall: the moment when pampered purebred Lady and streetwise mongrel Tramp, sharing a moonlit plate of spaghetti in an alley behind an Italian café, unknowingly slurp the same strand, and suddenly find their mouths meeting in surprise and tenderness. Ah, puppy love. Lady and the Tramp is a delight of animation and surprisingly deep character development, given that the stars are all dogs. Lady, an adorable Cocker Spaniel, feels neglected when her owners become distracted by the pending birth of a baby. But the last straw is clueless Aunt Sarah's appearance with her conniving Siamese cats (among Disney's most creatively evil villains), who wreak havoc on Lady's blissful home life. Soon Lady is off on an adventure in the streets, where the savvy Tramp takes her under his paw. The lessons of friendship and loyalty, of integrity--not to mention trusting in the kindness of strangers--ring true to delighted children and adults alike. And unlike many Disney films, there's no real violence, only challenges that smart dogs (including a tough-talking vamp named Peg, voiced sublimely by Peggy Lee, who also wrote the songs), banding together, can tackle. The animation is terrific; the scene where we first meet Tramp shows him rinsing off under a pipe, and his subsequent shaking-off of the water follows the detailed rippling up and down his back that any dog lover will recognize. And is there any song more romantic than "Bella Notte"? Bellissima! --A.T. Hurley |

Focusing on the extras When I was a child I was fascinated by this movie as still I am now. I won't give my opinion about the movie because it would be to repeat what has already been written by nearly everyone. But I always kept in my memory another movie in which Walt Disney explains in a very charming and interesting way the process of making Lady and the Tramp (the storyboards, discussions with the team, technical methods, etc. and the fascinating process of the drawers creating this delightful work). It was shown on tv and I can say that, in a way, without exaggerating, the watching of these people, their style, their personalities has influenced me for the rest of my life.
When I saw that the special edition of Lady and the Tramp included many extras I didn't hesitate to buy it.
I have it now. The delivery by Amazon has been perfect, right on schedule, as nearly always. Amazon is a serious company.
But I want to express some critical opinions about this issue: As I went directly to the extras to meet my beloved Walt Disney and sat down to listen to him, I was faced with a repulsive range of strange and ugly people who have nothing to do with the ones who made the original movie. Not only by their disgusting aspects, but also by the things they say, the way they expose their comments, the mentality, minds and the sense of aesthetics and responsibility that you can automatically feel at first watch.
These ill-minded people may own the rights to make business with what they legally own. But these people don't have dignity. They mix up the concepts of owning something with being something. They should be reminded that they are not charming, they are not interesting, they are not important and that they are unable to do a thing like the one they bought the rights to make business with. It is an insult to the culture and to the same Walt Disney that they appear on screen behaving like the legitimate successors of Disney (I mean successors of his genius, as they pretend). It is obvious that Disney wouldn't have had such people on his team. Without any trace of shame they talk about the movie in a way as if they had done it, taking, among other examples, possession of abandoned storyboards and dubbing them with their voices. Don't they realise that the masterpiece has already been done? That the parts that Disney did not include were the result of a meticulous process of selection? They mix the comments of Disney with theirs creating an unpresentable contrast and a feeling of frustration when seeing Walt Disney's expositions always interrupted. But they need to be the protagonists of it. Their inferiority complex resulting of their lack of culture mixed up with the arrogance of the economically powerful and their little love for the country allow them to show themselves runing into the prestige of other people desecrating what is a reference to the prominence and culture, not only of America but also of the western world.
I could extend my opinion longer but I leave it here, hoping that I am understood.
I really think that it is just a small example of how things are changing, of how the elites have changed. It is our responsibility to be aware of it and work to make possible a world in which new Walt Disneys could crop out again. If we let these people take over the world in all fields, then we can say: poor Disney, poor children, poor America and poor west.
The original movie, anyway, remains incomparable. Disney made it for us, not they. He could, they would never be able to.
Will touch your heart 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 may bring tears of joy to your eyes. This is a movie you can watch again and again because of the wonderful characters, the great songs, and the beautiful animation. Lady and the Tramp remains one of the most supremely delightful animated films of all time. [...]
Lady and the Tramp I'll watch my movie over and over and will purchase one for each of my grandchildren. |
