Looking for a dog movie? Walt Disney Studios loves to cart its classics out of the film vault to retail for a limited time, and then make them unavailable for as long as a decade. With the Blu-ray hi-definition format becoming more widespread, Disney has restored several classics to capitalize on its growing popularity. We’ve already seen Bambi, Sleeping Beauty, Dumbo, and others in hi-def, and today Lady and the Tramp joins the club.

Lady and the Tramp tells the story of the stray mutt Tramp, who falls in love with Lady, a Cocker Spaniel from a well-to-do family. Younger viewers are sure to be enthralled by the colorful onscreen comic antics, while adults, and especially fans of hand-drawn animation, will appreciate the film’s artistry and warm-hearted message. Prior Blu-ray releases of Disney's animated films are renowned for their razor-sharp, clean images that rival theatrical prints, and Lady and the Tramp should be no exception.

Released in 1955, Lady and the Tramp was the 15th full-length animated feature from Disney Animation Studios, but more important, it was the company’s first film composed for the rectangular CinemaScope format, with an image width that measured more than twice its height. It’s also the first Disney animated feature that focused on dogs (something the studio would return to six years later with 101 Dalmatians).

Lady and the Tramp is available in a two-disc (Blu-ray and standard DVD) combo edition for $39.99, or a three-disc (Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital Copy) for $44.99, although you can probably find it at amazon.com, Best Buy, or other stores for less.

  • poor mutts

    i wish people would look at them as bright energetic animals not just "this is ugly and stupid i don't like it im gunna put it in the shelter forever until it gets put down" GRRRR!!! it annoys me

  • i wish more people wanted mutts

    for a long time, i mostly wanted pure breeds, because i like the look of pure pugs, pure black labs, pure rotties, pure great danes and pure st. bernards. but sadly, its the mutts who live in shelters. it breaks my heart that as wonderful and noble as mutts are, they end up in shelters. as much as i love the look of certain pure breed dogs, i want to get a mutt before she ends up in a shelter. i would go to a shelter to rescue a mutt, but i can't save them all. i'll cry over the ones i can't save. my boss, who is an experienced vet, prefers mutts herself, and totally likes the idea of me getting a mutt. i can't have a dog yet since i'm still a senior in high school and have to go to college, but when i get outta college, i want a mutt. if u know of a place where they keep mutts that isn't a shelter or pet store but will still have mutt puppies in four years, let me know so that i can adopt or rescue one. i live in atlanta, so it would help if u could tell me of a place in atlanta i described above where i could get a mutt puppy, that would be good

  • If mutts are healthier why isn't mine?

    I have a chihuahua/australian shepherd mix -- and yes, she's a little high strung. Since I adopted her a couple of years ago I've been in and out of the vets with skin rashes. I've just switched her to a special diet because she's got food allergies. And just last week she started limping, (she's eight years old) and I'm now worried she has arthritis. I thought going for a mixed breed would keep me free of some of the problems that plague owners of purebreds, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Anyone else notice this?
