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.

Movie Info
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

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.
Top CriticThe 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.
I liked this movie a lot, the Blu-ray does it justice, but the extras while full featured - are from the DVD, which always feels a bit "lazy" to me when they don't produce, new material specifically for Blu-ray.
I just love hand drawn animation, it really brings to life all the characters in a very expressive way. The imperfections doing it by hand give everything a rougher edge but more heart.
Handsomely, seductively drawn, Lady and the Tramp owns its place in the canon...
The release of Lady and the Tramp on Blu-ray is proof positive that the visual joys of the films of Disney's salad days will always outweigh the thinness of their narratives, even at their most bland.
in many ways it is closer to the man Walt Disney's view of the world than any of his preceding films, especially the way it is filtered largely through his sense of nostalgia for the Victorian era
A somewhat dry, but very good Disney animated effort punctuated by a few Disney-defining classic moments.
Share the love of "Lady and the Tramp" with your loved ones this Valentine's Day.
A wonderful blend of timeless romance, wholesome adventure, and breathtaking animation.
Classic Disney dogs paw their way into hearts.
Easily the most beautifully-animated piece to come out of the Disney Studios since the Golden Age ended.
Lady and the Tramp: 50th Anniversary Edition not only reminds modern audiences of its deservedly immortal status, but provides a much-needed standard of comparison for more recent animated features.
[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.

- Tramp: Woof.

- Tramp: Just a cute little bundle... of trouble. Yeah, they scratch, pinch, pull ears... Aw, but shucks, any dog can take that. It's what they do to your happy home. Move it over, will ya, friend? Homewreckers, that's what they are!
- Jock: Look here, laddie! Who are you to barge in? Tramp: The voice of experience, buster. Just wait 'til Junior gets here. You feel the urge for a nice, comfortable scratch, and... "Put that dog out! He'll get fleas all over the baby!" You start barking at some strange mutt... [Barks]
- Tramp: Stop that racket, you'll wake the baby!
