Product Description
From Amazon.com
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

Lady And The Tramp (Diamond Edition)(blu ray)...another majestic restoration from Disney!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lady and the Tramp: Diamond Edition - 3-Disc BD Combo Pack (BD+DVD+Digital Copy) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
VIDEO:This 57 year old film arrives at blu ray with AVC MPEG-4 1080p 2.56:1 encode. This was actually the first Disney feature-length animated film to go widescreen. The video is absolutely stunning. Colours pop vividly. Everything, and I mean everything - every hand-drawn line, splash of colour, subtle personal touch, painted storybook background, and patch of scruffy fur - almost looks as if it were animated yesterday, no small feat when it comes to a fifty-seven year old film. It looked absolutely like brand new. Thanks to Disney for such a tremendous restoration job, and the wait is definitely worth it. (5+/5) AUDIO: For a film approaching its sixth decade on Earth, this mix will never compete with the discrete bombast of a modern soundtrack, but we don't really expect it to. In terms of its age, this is a wonderful, wide presentation using DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 lossless soundtrack. Yes, for our dear purists - a much-appreciated DTS-HD Master Audio 3.0 presentation of the film's original mix, restored and rejuvenated but otherwise unaltered - is included also. Of course, like any other Disney's animated classic, there are many beautiful and memorable songs in this movie, like the famous Peggy Lee's The Siamese Cat Song, Bella Notte and La La Lu. (4.5/5) INTERESTING TRIVIA: This movie has a budget of $4 million, but the total gross to date is $93 million. Simply outstanding achievement! Did you know that the film's opening sequence, in which Darling unwraps a hat box on Christmas morning and finds Lady inside, is reportedly based upon an actual incident in Walt Disney's life. After he'd forgotten a dinner date with his wife, he offered her the puppy-in-the-hat box surprise and was immediately forgiven. Disney originally didn't want to include the 'Bella Note' spaghetti-eating scene, now one of the most iconic moments in the whole Disney canon. Barbara Luddy was nearly 50 when she voiced the young Lady. FACTUAL ERROR: The calendar showing the passage of time is inconsistent in their dates from one month to the next. First, December 31 and then January 1 are both Thursdays. Next, November 30 is depicted as a Friday, while December 1 is a Tuesday. Finally, both January 31 and February 1 are both Sundays. FINAL THOUGHTS: Lady And The Tramp (blu ray) is a true testament to the fantastic efforts in frame-to-frame restoration by the team at Disney, restoring this 57 year old film to its majestic glory. It literally looks brand new. This is a movie for the whole family, especially when you have small animals in your house. Highly recommended. Cinderella is the next Diamond release. I can hardly wait. I hope the above review is helpful to you.

A classic,
By Blu man "Blu" (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lady and the Tramp: Diamond Edition - 3-Disc BD Combo Pack (BD+DVD+Digital Copy) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Lots of family fun with excitement, humour, and romance that won't have the kids squirming - basically everything you'd expect from a classic Disney film. One of my favourite parts of this movie is the background animation, which comes through beautifully in this blu-ray version (check out the grain, patina and lighting on some of the wooden objects in the house).

It Just Hits It Where You Live,
By Jeff (Miami Beach) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lady & The Tramp (VHS Tape)
Anyone with an eye for beauty cannot help but admire the light and color of this enduring and endearing Disney Masterpiece. But great art must take into account content; it must hit you on a visceral level. And there's no finer example of this anywhere in filmdom than the final chase sequence. From the moment the old bloodhound resolves itself to set things right, to his ultimate sacrifice, there is no more touching pathos ever set between sprockets. I cannot even think of it without becoming overwhelmed by emotion. I can actually steel myself against DUMBO's Baby Mine, but no matter how I coach myself ("It's just paint on plastic, for Pete's sake!") I am swayed by Disney's band of geniuses. And I am actually proud that I am so swayed.Such boldness and honor are rarely evinced so well on a screen or presenium. All dramatists could do well to study it. It is truly high art. Ahwoooooooo!
