Peary&#8217;s review just about sums up my own sentiments about the film, which remains a modest yet enjoyable minor Disney classic, one sure to appeal to kids once they&#8217;re old enough to handle its one truly distressing scene (in which a likeable animal appears to be seriously hurt). Meanwhile, all film fanatics will surely be curious to see &#8220;one of the cinema&#8217;s most romantic courtship scenes&#8221;, as the lead characters &#8220;end up eating opposite ends of the same strand of spaghetti and their mouths draw closer together for their first kiss&#8221;. However, despite its historical relevance as Disney&#8217;s first animated feature based on an original story (and first Cinemascope feature), this one remains simply strongly recommended rather than must-see.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fine animation<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Lady-and-the-Tramp-Animation.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Lady-and-the-Tramp-Animation.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"528\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21969\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Lady-and-the-Tramp-Animation.png 720w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Lady-and-the-Tramp-Animation-128x93.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Lady-and-the-Tramp-Animation-300x220.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Peggy Lee&#8217;s creative songs<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Lady-and-the-Tramp-Cats.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Lady-and-the-Tramp-Cats.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"528\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21970\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Lady-and-the-Tramp-Cats.png 720w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Lady-and-the-Tramp-Cats-128x93.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Lady-and-the-Tramp-Cats-300x220.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>The well-known &#8220;spaghetti courtship&#8221; sequence<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Lady-and-the-Tramp-Spaghetti.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Lady-and-the-Tramp-Spaghetti.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"528\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21972\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Lady-and-the-Tramp-Spaghetti.png 720w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Lady-and-the-Tramp-Spaghetti-128x93.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Lady-and-the-Tramp-Spaghetti-300x220.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo, but it&#8217;s certainly recommended. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0048280\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1955\/06\/24\/archives\/screen-dogs-and-lovers-disneys-lady-and-the-tramp-at-roxy.html\">NY Times Original Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/moria.co.nz\/fantasy\/lady-and-the-tramp-disney-animation-1955.htm\">Moria Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.combustiblecelluloid.com\/classic\/ladytramp.shtml\">Combustible Celluloid Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.avclub.com\/articles\/lady-and-the-tramp,9281\/\">Onion A.V.
