The Movie Mom (Nell Minow)

Lady is the pampered cocker spaniel of a couple she knows as "Jim Dear" and "Darling." Her best friends are Jock (a Scottie) and Trusty (a basset hound who has no sense of smell). They ignore a stray named Tramp. When Darling has a baby, Lady is ...read the complete Lady and the Tramp movie review at The Movie Mom (Nell Minow)

SF, Horror and Fantasy Film Review

The 1950s were a time that Disney entered a very self-conscious period of trying to make their animated films into "art" - most notably evident with Cinderella (1950) and Sleeping Beauty (1959). Amidst these, Lady and the Tramp comes as an ...read the complete Lady and the Tramp movie review at SF, Horror and Fantasy Film Review

UpcomingDiscs.com (Brendan Surpless)

The yesteryears of Disney were full of classic movies from Aladdin to 101 Dalmations. Each of those films holds a special place in my heart due to its warmth and very colorful, cute story. Having never seen Lady and the Tramp before picking up this ...read the complete Lady and the Tramp movie review at UpcomingDiscs.com (Brendan Surpless)

The Cinema Source (Aaron Cutler)

That's not the tagline for Disney's classic 1955 film Lady and the Tramp, but it could have been; one of the actual taglines was "One of the Greatest Love Stories Ever Told," and that seems good, too. ...read the complete Lady and the Tramp movie review at The Cinema Source (Aaron Cutler)

Reno Gazette-Journal (Forrest Hartman)

Featuring the voices of Peggy Lee, Barbara Luddy and Larry Roberts Four stars As a child, "Lady and the Tramp" was my favorite Disney movie, probably because I'm a dog lover. Today, I've overcome my canine bias and find myself hovering between ...read the complete Lady and the Tramp movie review at Reno Gazette-Journal (Forrest Hartman)

At-A-Glance Film Reviews (--)

One of Disney's most endearing and enduring animated films, about a refined house dog and a wayward mongrel, told with an creative dog's eye view of the world. While it's odd to make the comment about an animated film that the stars have a wonderful ...read the complete Lady and the Tramp movie review at At-A-Glance Film Reviews (--)

This story, set in the early 20th century, follows the relationship that develops between a pampered cocker spaniel and a mongrel from the wrong side of the tracks. ...read the complete Lady and the Tramp movie review at Christian Spotlight on the Movies (--)

Today's kids may find this hard to believe, but Disney used to pride itself on making heartfelt and heartwarming, nee family style, films. ...read the complete Lady and the Tramp movie review at filmcritic.com (Keith Breese)

DVD Clinic (Jason Adams)

It's classic-era Disney you either love it or you hate it. (If you hate it, may God have mercy on your vacuous, blackened soul.) I hadn't watched LADY AND THE TRAMP since I was in diapers and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. ...read the complete Lady and the Tramp movie review at DVD Clinic (Jason Adams)

Cinemaphile.org (David Keyes)

The arrival of Disney's "Lady And The Tramp" in the mid-50s was not one of those traditional cartoon introductions that the studio had been giving moviegoers for almost 20 years. Here was something far beyond anything foreseen by avid audiences, a movie ...read the complete Lady and the Tramp movie review at Cinemaphile.org (David Keyes)

DVD Town (John J. Puccio)

The first time Disney released "Lady and the Tramp" on DVD, it was a bare-bones affair, with the movie and little else. This time out, they have provided the movie with a deluxe, two-disc Fiftieth Anniversary Platinum Edition, improving the picture ...read the complete Lady and the Tramp movie review at DVD Town (John J.

The 50th Anniversary DVD release of Lady and the Tramp shows you everything that is right and wrong with Disney in one DVD package.

Reel.com DVD review (James Plath)

It turns out that one of the greatest animated love stories of all time was a December/May romance. In one of the bonus features on the new 50th Anniversary Platinum Edition of Lady and the Tramp, we learn that Lady was voiced by the near-50 Barbara ...read the complete Lady and the Tramp movie review at Reel.com DVD review (James Plath)

CinemaBlend.com (Joshua Tyler)

I'm not going to waste a lot of time talking about this story. Lady and the Tramp is by now an ingrained part of our cultural consciousness. An uptown dog named Lady meets a rascally stray named Tramp. ...read the complete Lady and the Tramp movie review at CinemaBlend.com (Joshua Tyler)

Combustible Celluloid (Jeffrey M. Anderson)

One of Disney's simplest and most delightful animated features, Lady and the Tramp is also one of the few shot in 1:2.55 Cinemascope. Set around the turn of the century (with button shoes and horse-drawn wagons), the wide frame emphasizes the dog's ...read the complete Lady and the Tramp movie review at Combustible Celluloid (Jeffrey M.
