Generations of fans have fallen in love with Walt Disney's 15th animated masterpiece -- an irresistible song-filled adventure about Lady, a lovingly pampered cocker spaniel, and Tramp, a roguish mutt from across the tracks. As one of Disney's most delightful and captivating classics, LADY AND THE TRAMP has earned praise as "a marvel of animation!" (Chicago Daily News). When Aunt Sarah moves in with her devious felines Si and Am to baby-sit, the very protective Lady soon finds herself being fitted for the unthinkable -- a muzzle! In her bid for freedom, she meets and is charmed by Tramp, dog-about-town. Together with friends Jock, Trusty, and Peg, they share thrilling adventures on a lovely bella notte as Lady learns what it means to be footloose and leash-free. Now the exquisite Disney animation, memorable music, and happiest of endings are available for the first time in this fully restored format, never-before-seen on video.
