Dog love story
10 September 2007
Lady and the Tramp is a classic Disney.

Classic in the sense that it can be taken as an example of a specific era in Disney history - in fact it represents a time in the development of animation. 1955 is the happy time of Disney - Walt was still alive - and everything in Lady and the Tramp reflects this time. The watercolour backgrounds, the animation, anthropomorphism of characters and the accents used, as well as some clichés and half prejudices. Only half, as Disney was well aware of sensitivities... and that his audience was the American melting pot.

I like Lady and the Tramp because it is also giving a message that value is inside, it has poetic overtones, some scenes (like the spaghetti dish scenes) are just so funny.

This charming story of an "uptown" dog being wooed by a poor but brave dog is really well made. This is the sort of movie made for kids for eternity.
