A LOVE
SONG
FOR
ALL AGES
Enhanced with High Definition, Lady and the Tramp has been released on Blu-ray for the first time. The format gives the animated film more color and sharpness missing when it was released in the original VHS Video format. The diamond edition includes the Blu-ray and DVD discs and several bonus features.
The story of Lady and the Tramp has been around since it’s release in the 1050’s and the tale has never lost its luster. It’s Christmas time and Jim Dear gives his wife a gift of a puppy that she names Lady. We watch her grow, meeting neighbor friends and then a surprise meeting with Tramp a vagabond that lives by the railroad tracks. This sets up a romance that’s a delight to watch, but like in every relationship there’s a downside.
The film goes on to show bravery, kindness and a glorious future for the characters. Very kid friendly, Lady and the Tramp will always remain one of my favorites. Memorable music like Bella Notte and The Siamese Cat songs are also featured in the film.
Although most of the Bonus features are adult level the whole family still can participate in the showing of them on Blu-ray and DVD.
