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."
