Lady, a Cocker Spaniel loves the comfort of home and lives with a nice family, but after the arrival of a baby, she feels left out. Tramp, a Scottish Terrier, is a street dog who loves to be free and believes he knows humans\u00a0(or at least he thinks he does). They are not loyal like dogs. The two meet when Tramp is running away from the dog catcher Elliot (Adrian Martinez).Tramp advises Lady of a terrible rule: when the baby moves in, the dog moves out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Lady.c.jpg?resize=225%2C150&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5056\" width=\"225\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Lady.c.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Lady.c.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Lady.c.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When\nLady\u2019s owners leave the house, she is under the care of a family member, Aunt\nSarah, who is not into dogs and Lady ends up in the street. Tramp saves her\nfrom a dangerous situation and both dogs develop a friendship. They embark on\nan adventure and, despite their differences, they get to know humans better and\nunderstand the value of home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\noriginal film was the 15<sup>th<\/sup> animated Disney movie and the first on cinemascope.\nThis 2019 remake is Disney\u2019s first film in a new format called Univisium. I\nhave never watched the original, but this new live-action version is absolutely\nworth seeing. The characters are very well cast, both humans and dogs. The film\nwas shot in Georgia\nand the locations are beautiful. The art direction and photography create a\nwarm and romantic atmosphere and recreates the U.S. in the beginning of the 20<sup>th<\/sup>\ncentury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/lady.a.jpg?resize=225%2C140&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5054\" width=\"225\" height=\"140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/lady.a.jpg?resize=300%2C187&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/lady.a.jpg?resize=768%2C479&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/lady.a.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>My\nfavorite scene is definitively the spaghetti scene. It is romantic. The way the\nrestaurant owner and server treat Lady and Tramp with a special dinner and\nserenade is delightful. I can understand why is so iconic; it represents a\ngenuine bond between two characters and how they come closer, despite their\ndifferences. It is also overwhelming how the humans, which are not owners,\nmanifest their love for dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nvoice-over actors give great personalities to their characters and the\nanimators make the scenes real and believable using CGI. Elliot (Adrian\nMartinez) is very determined as a dog catcher and Martinez captures the perfect tone to make\nthis character unique. I also love Ivette Nicole Brown as Aunt Sarah. She plays\na sort of villain character in a very realistic way as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/lady.b.jpg?resize=225%2C113&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5055\" width=\"225\" height=\"113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/lady.b.jpg?resize=300%2C150&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/lady.b.jpg?resize=768%2C384&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/lady.b.jpg?resize=1024%2C512&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/lady.b.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I\nlove the music from composer Joseph Trapanese, it suits nicely the film well and\ntransports the audience into the era this takes place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nmessage of the film is: dog\u2019s love is unconditional and they all deserve a\nhome. I give <em>Lady and the Tramp<\/em> 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages\n5 to 18 and adults as well. <em>Lady and the Tramp<\/em> starts streaming on\nNovember 12, 2019 on Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photos: \u00a9 2019 Disney Enterprises, Inc.
