At Christmas, Mr. Darling surprises his wife by finding a cute little cocker spaniel under the tree wrapped in beautiful wrapping paper. Named Lady, she brings joy to her two masters and grows up peacefully in their small New England home.
But Lady’s daily life suddenly changes when the baby is born. The dog then discovers that he is no longer the center of attention for his loved ones, especially when they go on a trip and leave the house to the obnoxious Aunt Sarah. Trying to escape from him, Lady walks through the streets of the city and meets a stray dog whose only collar is freedom.

When we look back at some of the most iconic scenes in the history of Disney Studios, certain essential scenes come to mind. The spaghetti meal shared under the stars between Lady and the Tramp, to the tune of “Bella Notte,” is surely one of those magical moments that have made a legacy of the Enchanted Studios.
Beyond this quintessential sequence, arguably one of the most romantic in cinema (all genres and all studios combined), Disney’s 15th animated classic released in the mid-1950s is a true gem.
A heartfelt and touching tribute to our beloved four-legged companions, the film is often one of the Disney movies we first discover when we’re still young viewers.
Its flawless animation, combined with the impressive CinemaScope format (a first in Disney history!) make it a unique and harmonious experience, with great songs, picture-worthy sumptuous shots and excellent use of light, and the warm voices of the wonderful French. version.
A true monument to the Disney epic, Lady and the Tramp is a must-read for anyone interested directly or indirectly in the history of the famous studio.
