Audience Rating: G (General Audience) Binding: VHS Tape EAN: 9780788812804 Format: Animated ISBN: 0788812807 Label: Walt Disney Video Manufacturer: Walt Disney Video Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: Walt Disney Video Release Date: 1998-09-15 Running Time: 75 Studio: Walt Disney Video Theatrical Release Date: 1955-06-22
Disney's first animated feature in CinemaScope is now available in widescreen presentations on video, and it is definitely good to get the whole picture. One of the studio's most original and charming movies, the 1955 film tells the story of a rakish, street-smart dog named Tramp, who helps an aristocratic pooch named Lady out of some trouble and then commences a romance with her. Sweet, funny scenes abound, and the combination of innocence and sophistication would have done well in a live-action picture. Peggy Lee cowrote the songs and provides the voice of the Siamese cats in one of the film's best-known musical sequences. This newly restored version spruces up both sonics and visuals, and a letterbox version is available. --Tom Keogh

Customer Rating: Summary: A Great Family Romance Gets The Platinum Treatment Comment: Walt Disney's "Lady And The Tramp" was never one of my personal favorite films as a child. I'm all grown up now, and it has become a very enjoyable treat for me and my entire family. For those unfamiliar with the story, here's a brief explanation: Cocker Spaniel Lady has a perfect life until a baby shows up. She begins to feel neglected and when her owners take a little vacation and leave her and the baby with Aunt Sarah, she winds up on the mean streets alone....until Tramp shows up. He defends her, has a romantic dinner with her and eventually finds his way into her heart. It's all executed with Disney's classic perfection and littered with wonderful songs like "Bella Notte" and "We Are Siamese."
What really makes this film worth five stars is the treatment it receives in this platinum edition. The digital restoration looks and sounds great. The extras are some of the best I've ever seen, especially the "Backstage Disney" features that give animation fans a wonderful look at the development of the film.
If you're a fan of animation, this DVD is a must. The special features alone are worth the purchase price. Fans of light romance, family films and dogs will also love this classic Disney tale. Highly recommended. Customer Rating: Summary: Classic kids movie for all ages...

The special features are fun for us all. Thank you for letting me relive my childhood through the eyes of my baby girl..... Customer Rating: Summary: Great movie Comment: Watched this movie many times when I was a kid. I'm glad I was able to get it again. I'm going to be a mommy soon so I can't wait until I can share it with my little one. Customer Rating: Summary: Still Not Shipped Comment: I ordered this product over 2 weeks ago [on the 16th of Feb, 2008], and it still hasn't shipped. What is taking this product so long to ship to me? Customer Rating: Summary: Cute movie Comment: My 5-yr-old daughter loves this movie and acts out scenes from it all the time. A Disney classic!
