LADY AND THE TRAMP is the 15th full-length animated feature from Walt Disney Pictures.

This was the first Disney animated film to use Cinemascope, requiring animators to draw some scenes twice--one in Cinemascope and once in the regular Full-Frame aspect ratio.

"[T]he movie wistfully reflects upon a long-lost era of American innocence and features one of cinema's most romantic scenes..."
