This is a movie about two dogs who fall in love and have adorable puppies. Also cats are evil.

Reaction: This is a film that I didn't watch much growing up, and I think that's partly the reason I find it kind of slow and uninteresting. I mean, I love dogs, but I just didn't really care about what happened to them. The film seems to be made up of short vignettes about the various adventures Lady and her Tramp get into: the pound, the rat, Aunt Sarah, etc. I mean, I do so love the part where the Peggy Lee Pooch sings "He's A Tramp", and the Siamese Cat song is quite deliciously evil, but other than that, this movie is quite forgetful to me. And don't get me started on how lame Jim Dear and Darling are. Yawn. But I guess that was with the times. I guess all in all, I would only watch this movie with folk who maybe had never seen it before. Not one of my Disney favorites, but not an awful film.

Reaction: As if I needed any more reason to want a dog! Lady and the Tramp are the adorable couple who first made me believe that animals are people too (except for cats, which are just evil demons sent to torment us--the movie espoused that theory as well!). It's impossible not to love a character who's a puppy when you meet her, and Lady's ridiculous ears just add to her general adorableness. The Tramp is exactly the kind of Steve McQueen-ish rascal designed to win us over by being a charming ne'er-do-well, and he succeeds at that marvelously. The two older dogs--and their attempted proposal--are fun characters as well.
Not much need be said about the plot. This is just a love story about a girl who falls in love with a guy from the wrong side of the tracks (also cats are evil). Their adventures are enjoyable, nothing special, although that dog pound is a chilling and terrifying place. Here's hoping all dogs find the Italian restaurant with a kind-hearted chef willing to prepare a delicious meal for them and their dates!
