Lady and the Tramp
What is there to say about Lady and the Tramp? The original 2-D animation version, not the quote unquote “live action” version, which I have not seen but could say a great deal about because why would you call it live action when it’s actually CGI dogs?
All the Disney “live action” remakes of the animal movies all look like blatant and embarrassing cash grabs. Ugh. They have so much money and they could be doing so much cool shit with it (a revival of 2-D animation, for starters!) and this is what they’ve decided to do?? Ugh.
Anyway! I had no strong feelings about this movie either way, which is perhaps the hardest kind of movie to write about. It’s pleasant, it’s enjoyable, it was interesting to see these dogs who are allowed to roam around their neighborhood at will and have their own little dog society (VERY different from American dog ownership today), but it was not a movie that I really glommed onto as a child and didn’t deeply move me as an adult, either.
