Lady and the Tramp

It may not be the first film you think of when you think of classic Disney animated features, and that’s all the more reason to pick up a copy of this delightful 1955 film. It’s the story of a pampered pooch, voiced by Barbara Luddy, who gets caught up in a series of misadventures with a mangy (but loveable) mutt from the wrong side of the tracks, voiced by Larry Roberts. There’s some classic songs, including a sexy (and not just by Disney standards) performance by Peggy Lee of He’s a Tramp, and the funny (if a bit dated and racists) song from the Siamese cats. And the dinner scene where Lady and the Tramp share a plate of spaghetti (and their first kiss) will still make even the most anti-romantic sigh just a bit.
