Disney’s Lady and the Tramp is a classic story of two famous movie dogs that have captured the hearts of people around the world. The film, which was released in 1955, tells the story of Lady, a pampered Cocker Spaniel, and Tramp, a streetwise Mutt. Together they embark on an adventure that leads to them falling in love and eating spaghetti together.
The original story for Lady and the Tramp was based on “Happy Dan, The Cynical Dog” by Ward Greene from Cosmopolitan magazine in 1945. Lady was primarily based on two real dogs: A spaniel named Blondie that belonged to co-director Hamilton Lanske and a mutt named Peg owned by Bill Peet who wrote the storyboard for the movie.
The iconic spaghetti kiss scene between Lady and Tramp has become one of Disney’s most memorable moments. To bring this scene to life, animators used live-action footage of two real dogs slurping up spaghetti noodles until their lips met. This eeriness created an effect that made it seem like these two dogs were really in love.
When Disney decided to remake Lady and the Tramp for its streaming service Disney+, they chose Tessa Thompson and Justin Theroux to voice Lady and Tramp respectively. They were joined by two real dogs named Monte (Tramp) and Rose (Lady). These two pups had quite an adventure as they walked down red carpets at premieres all over the world!
Critics have praised Disney+’s remake of Lady and the Tramp for its stunning visuals, charming performances, heartwarming soundtrack, and faithful adaptation of the original film. It’s no wonder why this classic tale continues to capture our hearts even after all these years!
Whether you’re watching it for the first time or revisiting this timeless classic with your family, there’s no denying that Lady and the Tramp is one of Disney’s most beloved films about true love between two famous movie dogs.
