Me - I'm a fellow who couldn't get along with the 3D works of this century for the longest time. I am a fan of the lavish hand drawn animation of the '50s, and far more appreciate the slow pace and the dark, serious tones they present, as well as their hidden cleverness and the superb attention to detail in them.

But this? Hell yeah, I can really get behind something like this too! It oozes with style and detail and, for the first time in forever, it's not a movie plagued by lifeless and tasteless "modern audience" material that has poisoned the industry for far too many years now.

I loved almost everything about this movie. The dark tones scattered around were a delight, and the cuteness inserted wasn't really bad at all. I wish Perrito wasn't so... exaggerated, though. I understand the meaning behind him; that he's the embodiment of loyalty because he's a doggo, but still. And I'd have loved more of that stylized animation style! It wasn't enough! It really helped set it apart!

The villains were also great, each with their own motivations. But god-damn, whoever designed Death, must really love Dark Souls/Sekiro, because that's the kind of character design I'd expect in those type games. It was my favorite thing from the movie. It was just right!

Can't forget the references to Pinocchio, the bears, "you only had one job!", and the telegraphed attack of Horner. Good stuff!

9/10 - should've been longer (I feel the bond between Softpaws and Puss didn't receive enough attention, felt a little rushed), Perrito could've been toned down a just a little bit, and the stylized 2.5D animation should have received more screen time.

Verdict: Absolutely solid movie. Great for the whole family.

As a huge fan of the original movie, I found this incredibly interesting. I would pop this in the background every once in a while while working and just listen to these people talk.

Would not have expected that Lady and the Tramp actually took this long to make - started all the way back in late '30s with Joe Grant and his springer spaniel named, of course, Lady. The journey on how his idea transitioned to the movie we know today isn't quite pleasant but nevertheless I'm glad with how things turned out. Walt did him wrong but can't hate him; in the end, Lady and the Tramp turned out to be a 10/10.

Various left over bits about the plot, the Siamese Cat song, the Tramp's design and various other little things can be found in "A story of two Dogs" featurette available online.

I had the pleasure to find the first part (the Lady and the Tramp half) on the internet. Very insightful, and although it's a condensed version of how the actual process might have undergone, it's still a very welcomed behind-the-scenes bit.

One of the main highlights of the episode is when they show off all the different versions of the Tramp and how they brainstorm about animating him in certain situations. But I was surprised that they did not mention his origins; Happy Dan the Cynical Dog by Ward Greene (they DO mention it in the 2006 Platinum Edition re-release of the movie).

If you try hard enough, you might find some lost bits on the internet about how the Siamese Cat Song and He's a Tramp got to be made, the former being more in depth, even showing the writing and recording process.
