Story Synopsis:
Walt Disney’s 15th animated masterpiece Lady And The Tramp is an irresistible musical adventure about a lovable cocker spaniel named Lady and a scruffy, street-wise mutt named Tramp. Based on the story by Ward Greene, Lady meets the charming dog-about-town when her masters leave her with a baby-sitter. Lady has a run-in with mischievous cats, Si and Am; and, after being fitted for a muzzle, she runs away. But she meets Tramp on the other side of the tracks, and with the help of a memorable spaghetti dinner, the two are in puppy-love.
LaserDisc Picture:
Though not as vibrant and eye-popping as today’s animated Disney films, the THX®-quality assured digitally mastered picture exhibits excellent color balance and clarity. The animation is sharp and defined throughout. There is minor noise and artifacts apparent, but not enough to distract from this true classic. Recomposed from the original 2.55:1 CinemaScope® aspect ratio, the LaserDiscs are framed at 2.30:1.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack has been remastered and coded in Dolby® Digital discrete 5.0 (no .1 LFE) and matrix encoded in Dolby Surround on the PCM tracks. All this from a magnetic stereo printmaster originally produced in 1955 with no surround. The sound is undistinguished monaural throughout except for the stereo music score that is heard subtly and at times aggressively in the surrounds. At times, the sound is a bit distorted. Nonetheless, even purists will enjoy the sound support for this Disney classic.
