7) Lady & The Tramp! The best word to describe this movie is adorable! I don't know if it's cos I'm a huge dog lover, but this film has been in my heart ever since I was a kid! And I'm not gonna lie, this is one of the few Disney movies which makes me cry next to Dumbo & Bambi (ESPECIALLY during the pound scene cos I hate seeing dogs locked up)! Anyway, all I can really say about this in terms of plot is it's a charming love story, which happens to involve dogs, & just watching how it grows throughout along with Lady accepting her owners' new baby & how it'll change her life. They do bring in some conflict with Tramp previously being a cad, Lady being put in the pound & it is done pretty well, if not cliched (it doesn't really matter to me cos cliches in films don't always have to be bad). I think the main reason why I love this is that it has a simple charm to it compared to the grandure of other Disney animated films at the time like Cinderella & Sleeping Beauty. That's not to say that this film doesn't either, but I do like how this focuses on the romance between the 2 main characters & expanding on it rather than having the characters just meet & decide they want to be together.

As for the characters, they may not be the most complex or developed Disney characters out there, but with simple character traits & personalities, they manage to all be memorable, even the main characters & how contrasting they both are thanks to their different backgrounds. With Barbara Luddy's youthful & innocent sounding voice (despite ironically being in her 50s by the time she recorded the dialogue for this), Lady encapsulates the upper class 'woman' & is responsible & pretty naive, but judging her upper class & sheltered upbringing, it's kinda justified & she is very likeable especially when it comes to her feelings towards the new baby. Tramp on the other hand is much more fun loving & mischievous, but it's clear he does have a good heart throughout. Jim Dear & Darling aren't really as interesting in my opinion, but I guess it's intentional considering they're not the focus of the story! Anyway, I also enjoy the other dogs like Jock, who is also very adorable yet outspoken & grumpy, Peg is kinda like a sultry & even the beaver Lady & Tramp meet at the zoo is pretty funny (if not too similar to Gopher from Winnie The Pooh) But my personal favourite would have to be Trusty thanks to his old solider type nature & being very loyal to Lady (and he also reminds me of one of my childhood dogs who died a few years ago)  But I know all of you will solely because of the Siamese Asian stereotype cats Si & Am & their controversial song! Well, yeah I can understand why now compared to my innocence as a kid, but I still find their antics funny when trying to get Lady in trouble & there's no denying the Siamese Cat Song will get stuck in your head after you've listened to it!

As for the animation, I do really love how it captures the look of dogs & their different breeds, while giving them very emotive anthropomorphic faces without looking creepy. I also love the backgrounds, rather it be the architecture of the suburbs where Lady lives (seems to be inspired by Louisiana if I'm correct), the romantic atmosphere of the park & the backalley of Tony's during the Bella Notte song & the Christmas-y atmopshere at the beginning & end of the film. As for the character animation, it is very well done in my opinion. In fact, this may be some of the best character animation I've seen from Disney when it comes to animals, since they have to deal with many breeds of dogs (even Trusty limping at the end) throughout along with the beaver, birds, the (very creepy realistic looking) rat & the fact that the humans throughout are hardly seen from the waist up & it's all very fluid & I love the attention to detail throughout the film.

As for the songs, I love all of them! They're definitely not the most memorable Disney songs out there compared to others & it isn't a musical, but I love them (even the Siamese song like I mentioned before). My personal favourites would have to be He's A Tramp (sung by Peggy Lee) & (of course) Bella Notte during the romantic spaghetti scene. I do enjoy the opening choir at the beginning & end, but it kinda felt out of place for me compared to the rest of the songs. Oh yeah, and I also love La La Lu (the lullaby that Darling sings to the baby), What Is A Baby? is a pretty interesting one since it's in Lady's head & Jock's little song in his introductory scene is pretty fun.

While it may not be Disney's biggest movie, with beautiful animation, likeable characters, memorable songs & a charming love story, Lady & The Tramp would have to be one of my favourite Disney classics! And besides, this is the perfect date movie for dog lovers & made it socially acceptable to do a spaghetti kiss!
