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
Genre: Childrens
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.

Director: Hamilton Luske, Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson
Reviews for Lady and the Tramp
Top CriticWith cracking music, a rollicking pace and dialogue that stands up to scrutiny, Lady and the Tramp really is among Walt's very best.

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

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

Easily the most beautifully-animated piece to come out of the Disney Studios since the Golden Age ended.

While it's not one of the strongest Disney animated features, this one has enough strengths to keep it popular decades after its 1955 release.

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.

Visual images on a 70mm screen are bound to be stunning, but it takes a fun and good-natured story to back them up; here, we have a premise that joins two opposites in a sweet love story as adventurous as it is fearsome and daring.

One of Disney's simplest and most delightful animated features

Classic Disney animation, classic story. A wonderful film for childrena and adults as well.

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

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