Lady and the Tramp represented two "firsts" for Disney: It was the studio's first
Cinemascope animated feature, and it was their first full-length cartoon based on
an original story rather than an established "classic". Lady is the pampered female
dog belonging to Jim Dear and Darling. When her human masters bring a baby into the
house, Lady feels she's being eased out; and when Darling's insufferable Aunt Sarah
introduces her nasty twin Siamese cats into the fold, Lady is certain that she's no
longer welcome. The cats wreak all manner of havoc, for which Lady is blamed. After
the poor dog is fitted with a muzzle, Lady escapes from the house, only to run
across the path of the Tramp, a raffish male dog from the "wrong" side of town. The
Tramp helps Lady remove her muzzle, then takes her out on a night on the town,
culminating in a romantic spaghetti dinner, courtesy of a pair of dog-loving Italian
waiters. After their idyllic evening together, Lady decides that it's her duty to
protect Darling's baby from those duplicitous Siamese felines. On her way home, Lady
is captured and thrown in the dog pound. Here she learns from a loose-living mutt
named Peg that The Tramp is a canine rake. Disillusioned, Lady is more than happy to
be returned to her humans, even though it means that she'll be chained up at the
insistence of Aunt Sarah. Tramp comes into Lady's yard to apologize, but she wants
no part of him. Suddenly, a huge, vicious rat breaks into the house, threatening the
baby. Lady breaks loose, and together with Tramp, runs into the house to protect the
infant. When the dust settles, it appears to Aunt Sarah that Tramp has tried to
attack the child. That's when Lady's faithful friends Jock the bloodhound and Trusty
the scottie swing into action, rescuing Tramp from the dogcatcher. Once Jim Dear and
Darling are convinced that Tramp is a hero, he is invited to stay...and come next
Christmas, there's a whole flock of little Ladies and Tramps gathered around the
family. Beyond the usual excellent animation and visual effects, the principal
selling card of Lady and the Tramp is its music. Many of the songs were performed and
co-written by Peggy Lee, who years after the film's 1955 theatrical issue,
successfully sued Disney for her fair share of residuals from the videocassette
release.

Removed the Pan And Scan 1.33:1 version on the DVD, which allowed me to keep the 2.55:1
version untouched in all its widescreen glory, the only CinemaScope animatated production
in Disney history. Also bypassed the warnings, logos, and the ton of stuff that Disney
makes you watch before getting to the menu. Most of the extras are on Disc 2, but there
are 8 trailers and a preview of Disc 2, all untouched.
This has already been recently released as The.Lady.And.The.Tramp.SE.MULTI.DVDR.NTSC-CiRCUS.
Besides getting the title wrong, there are some very peculiar things about their release.
Theirs is reencoded; this one isn't. Theirs has 2 audio tracks and this one has 4.
Theirs has 3 sub streams and this has 1. Theirs has only the widescreen version, and this
has both the widescreen and the P+S (even though I removed the fullscreen). I can't even
find a sample to try and get more info about that release. One thing is certain; theirs
isn't from the US R1 Retail DVD of this title. An educated guess tells me it's from a
Canadian R1 retail DVD. The fact that most of the CiRCUS NFO is in French also lends weight
to that idea.
And what makes this better than the original R1 DVD release of this film 5 years ago? The
original was 2.35:1 non-anamorphic (4:3). This is 2.55:1 anamorphic (16:9). The original
release used unrestored and cropped film elements. This one has undergone a glorious
restoration by the Lowry people. The audio has been improved, and we also get a restored
version of the original theatrical audio.
