Lady and the Tramp Overview:

Lady and the Tramp (1955) was a Animation - Family Film directed by Hamilton Luske and Clyde Geronimi and produced by Erdman Penner.

SYNOPSIS

Disney's animated classic is a romantic adventure about two dogs from the opposite sides of the kennel. Lady, a pedigreed cocker spaniel who's run away from home, meets Tramp, a wild mutt who comes to her defense, and they fall in love. Featuring the voice and music of Peggy Lee, this was Disney's first CinemaScope cartoon, requiring animators to draw some scenes twice, once in CinemaScope and once in the regular aspect ratio. Based on Ward Greene's short story "Happy Dan, the Whistling Dog." Songs include "He's a Tramp" and "Peace on Earth."

It makes me laugh and cry every time I see it, and by now I have seen it many, many times. What more... Read full article

Facts about

The Beaver character was effectively recycled as the Gopher in Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, right down to his whistling speech pattern. This voice was originally created by Stan Freberg who had a background in comedy voices. The demands of voicing the character proved too much, however, so Freberg eventually resorted to using a real whistle to capture the whistling effect.
The song howled by the dogs in the pound is "Home Sweet Home". It is the only song to be in the film that was not written by Peggy Lee and Sonny Burke
Before animating the fight between Tramp and the rat, animator Wolfgang Reitherman kept rats in a cage next to his desk to study their actions.
