Consensus: A nostalgic charmer, Lady and the Tramp's token sweetness is mighty but the songs and richly colored animation are technically superb and make for a memorable experience.

Runtime: 77 mins

Synopsis: Based on Ward Greene's short story "Happy Dan, The Whistling Dog," this feature is the romantic adventure of a pedigreed Cocker Spaniel and a freedom-loving mongrel from the wrong side of the tracks.

Walt Disney has for so long parlayed gooey sentiment and stark horror into profitable cartoons that most moviegoers are apt to be more surprised than disappointed to discover that the combination somehow does not work this time.

[It made] more money than any other film from the 1950s except The Ten Commandments and Ben-Hur.

A charming piece of vintage entertainment from Walt Disney, replete with wholesome family values.

The wider canvas and extra detail work reportedly meant an additional 30% in negative cost. It was a sound investment.

Disney's imagination seems at a low ebb, saddled with a shrunken, excessively naturalistic style in line with the diminished possibilities of postwar animation, and not yet graced by the inspiration that would redeem that style in Sleeping Beauty.

Happily the cameo lowlife, an excellent manic beaver, the famously villainous Siamese, and classic songs rescue the film from dumb animal sentiment.

The sentimentality is mighty, and the use of the CinemaScope size does not make for any less awareness of the thickness of the goo.

The vintage animation is brilliant, and Disney has done a wonderful job with the transfer to DVD.

They don't make movies like Lady and the Tramp any more. I know that's a cliche, but it's true.

Not only is Lady and the Tramp one of Disney's sweetest films, it's one of their loveliest to look at.
