Lady and the Tramp represented two firsts for Disney: It was the studio's first Cinemascope animated feature, and it was their first full-length cartoon based on an original story rather than an established classic. Lady is the pampered female dog belonging to Jim Dear and Darling. When her human masters bring a baby into the house, Lady feels she's being eased out; and when Darling's insufferable Aunt Sarah introduces her nasty twin Siamese cats into the fold, Lady is certain that she's no longer welcome. The cats wreak all manner of havoc, for which Lady is blamed. After the poor dog is fit... ted with a muzzle, Lady escapes from the house, only to run across the path of the Tramp, a raffish male dog from the wrong side of town. The Tramp helps Lady remove her muzzle, then takes her out on a night on the town, culminating in a romantic spaghetti dinner, courtesy of a pair of dog-loving Italian waiters. After their idyllic evening together, Lady decides that it's her duty to protect Darling's baby from those duplicitous Siamese felines. On her way home, Lady is captured and thrown in the dog pound. Here she learns from a loose-living mutt named Peg that The Tramp is a canine rake. Disillusioned, Lady is more than happy to be returned to her humans, even though it means that she'll be chained up at the insistence of Aunt Sarah. Tramp comes into Lady's yard to apologize, but she wants no part of him. Suddenly, a huge, vicious rat breaks into the house, threatening the baby. Lady breaks loose, and together with Tramp, runs into the house to protect the infant. When the dust settles, it appears to Aunt Sarah that Tramp has tried to attack the child. That's when Lady's faithful friends Jock the bloodhound and Trusty the scottie swing into action, rescuing Tramp from the dogcatcher. Once Jim Dear and Darling are convinced that Tramp is a hero, he is invited to stay...and come next Christmas, there's a whole flock of little Ladies and Tramps gathered around the family. Beyond the usual excellent animation and visual effects, the principal selling card of Lady and the Tramp is its music. Many of the songs were performed and co-written by Peggy Lee, who years after the film's 1955 theatrical issue, successfully sued Disney for her fair share of residuals from the videocassette release.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Although the golden age of Disney animated features was the late 1930s and 1940s, when Uncle Walt produced Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, Fantasia and Bambi, some of the company's best loved films were made during the 1950s and 1960s, including Cinderella (1950), Sleeping Beauty (1959) and of course 1955's Lady And The Tramp, which actually had its origins in the 1930s.
The company's fifteenth animated feature was an interlude between adaptations of fairy tales, and it focussed on anthropomorphised canines. The story begins one Christmas when a husband gives his wife a puppy for a present. This is Lady (Luddy), a Cocker Spaniel. They dote on her, sa...
