Since the founding of the legendary Disney Studios more than a century ago, we’ve lost count of the legendary sequences that the artisans of the Enchanted Kingdom have patiently created to delight and amaze generations of viewers.
Whether we’re reminiscing about Peter Pan and the Precious Children flying across the rooftops of London, Mowgli and Baloo meeting in The Jungle Book or the triumphant introduction of The Lion King, Disney scenes leave us breathless and wide-eyed. stars.
One of Disney’s best scenes
One of the most famous of these unforgettable tales is Lady and the Tramp. Made in 1955 by Hamilton Luske, Clyde Geronim and Wilfred Jackson, this masterful feature film (which is undoubtedly one of the most romantic in Disney history) reached its apotheosis in the famous spaghetti scenario.
In the middle of the movie, after freeing her from a terrible bump, Trump takes Lady to dinner at one of her favorite places: the Italian restaurant Chez Tony. Then the owner of this charming trattoria served them a delicious meal of spaghetti, which the two dogs gently savored under the stars, accompanied by the hosts’ accordion and mandolin.
It’s very simple: if we had to choose only 10 essential scenes from the Disney epic, this would definitely be one of them. However, in the early 1950s, while studio artists were busy at their drawing boards to bring Lady and the Tramp to life, this iconic sequence was pretty much shelved. (As mentioned recently in a Télé-Loisirs article).
“I’ll show him.”
“Walt I wasn’t sure it could be a very clean scene.”Archivist Stephen Vagnini said at Yahoo News.
“As you can imagine, when two dogs are eating a plate of spaghetti, it’s hard to create something very graceful.”
As we learn In the documentary Lady’s Pedigree: The Making of Lady and the Trampespecially Presented by ScreenrantThanks to the brilliant animator Frank Thomas, the scene was finally saved:
“Frank Thomas, one of the company’s greatest animators, went against his boss’s wishes and still got something going”said artistic director Andy Gaskill at the reception.
“And we’re very grateful that he insisted that he didn’t listen to Walt. He said, ‘No, I’ll do the work and show him. I show him that it can be fun. “”
