For some, Lady and the Tramp is not as “classic” a film as a lot of the other iconic franchises Disney has already made a billion at the box office with. A story of two dogs unexpectedly discovering romance in a quaint city was never going to soar to Avengers-like monetary heights compared to the sprawling epics of Lion King’s Hamlet re-telling or Aladdin’s intriguing One Thousand and One Nights source material. It makes perfect sense then that Disney would move Lady and the Tramp to Disney+, but that doesn’t mean it’s “lesser.”

I’m a bit confused on Disney’s philosophy when it comes to live action adaptations, as they seem to have a laissez faire attitude on whether or not it’s wildly different (2010’s Alice in Wonderland), mostly the same with small alterations (Aladdin), or a complete 1:1 remake (Lion King). I tend to favor the middle category, as the powers that be now have the opportunity to expand the mythos after decades of stagnation. Lady and the Tramp doesn’t quite lean into that angle as much as I’d hope, but there is an attempt there.

Lady and the Tramp (Disney+) Review 2

Final Thoughts:

Despite some obvious corner-cutting aesthetics and a safe script, Lady and the Tramp is a fun family flick that heralds the arrival of Disney+.
