History WesternAnimation / LadyAndTheTramp

* {{Squick}}: In ''Scamp's Adventure,'' Buster (the big bad) tries to win the affections of a Pomeranian named Angel... and so does Scamp. Now, Scamp's obviously a ''puppy,'' but Angel is an ''adult dog,'' if a small one. Eeew.

* {{Sequelitis}}: Surprisingly averted; the sequel has some decent animation, catchy songs, and yes [[ABronxTale Chazz Palminteri]].

** There's even a conversation between Jock and Trusty later on how one of them will ''have'' to marry Lady now in order to save her honor.
** Having seen the movie many times, I've always assumed from the content of their proposal to Lady that their reason for offering marriage is to get her out of a home that no longer treats her properly into one where she'll be appreciated ("verra welcome"). That still looks like a plausible interpretation to me.

** Lady and the Tramp's children are also left un-named in the movie. It isn't until the comics that Scamp and his sisters (Fluffy, Ruffy and brother {who's only a boy in the newspaper comics} Scooter) are given names.

* PoundsAreDoggyPrison: And a dog lead away to an implied [[strike: execution]] euthanization--even today, some pounds will put down dogs if they are not claimed or adopted after a long time.

* StockFootage: The beaver's design is recycled for Gopher from ''WinnieThePooh''.
** The beaver even has the same voice/speach impediment that Gopher has!

* SpaghettiKiss: The TropeMaker. Parodied, or at least played with, in the sequel.

* StarCrossedLovers
** Elaborate, please.

** Also, poor Jock who howls desperately, believing his best friend Trusty's dead

* TheRedStapler: Decades later, American Cocker Spaniels are notorious for health problems.
* TheTramp: Take a guess which character.

*** Siamese cats are not exactly ''popular'' in some places; they are a ''very'' vocal breed, both in the 'talkitive' and the 'loud' sense. Don't attribute to racism what might be a rather valid dislike of a breed that is a [[{{Understatement}} poor]] choice for an apartment dweller. Especially since some can imitate a screaming woman ''perfectly''...

--->'''"Jim Dear"''': Now, Darling, are you sure you want watermelon?
--->'''"Darling"''': Yes! And some chop suey, too!
* WoundedGazelleGambit: The Siamese cats wreck the house and then pretend that Lady attacked them resulting in Lady being forced into a muzzle.

* Squick: In ''Scamp's Adventure,'' Buster (the big bad) tries to win the affections of a Pomeranian named Angel... and so does Scamp. Now, Scamp's obviously a ''puppy,'' but Angel is an ''adult dog,'' if a small one. Eeew.

* PoundsAreDoggyPrison: And a dog is implied to have been euthanized!
** The dog more than likely wasn't implied to have been but instead ''was''. It was common back then to put down a dog if no-one claimed it.

* WoundedGazelleGambit: The Siamese cats wreck the house and then pretend that Lady mauled them resulting in Lady being forced into a muzzle.

* CatsAreMean: those Siamese are practically NightmareFuel. Impressively, their voices have that nerve-grating yowl that real Siamese cats have.

* ComicBookAdaptation: While there was a straight up adaptation of the movie printed in Newspapers, that was (as mentioned) followed up by the Scamp strip, which ran daily for 33 years, which in turn spawned several comic book stories, with Scamp getting two of his own comic book series under different publishers, and pretty much being one of the major stories featured in ''Walt Disney's Comics and Stories''. All in all, it's probably one of the more successful comic series based on a Disney Movie.

* DisneyDeath
* TheFaceless: The camera is kept low at a dog's level, so human faces are usually out of the composition. Subverted in that they aren't hidden when a human's face is low enough to be in a shot, and when Aunt Sarah arrives.
* FallingInLoveMontage - Set to ''Bella Notte''.

* GenderEqualsBreed/ LegoGenetics The offspring of the title characters.

** There's even a conversation between Jock and Trusty later on how one of them will ''have'' to marry Lady now, in order to save her honor.

*** The dog marriage idea isn't fully implemented until OneHundredAndOneDalmatians, though.

** Originally Trusty was suppose to die, but Walt decided not to do so after considering the reaction children had to {{Bambi}}'s mother dying, changed it to the aforementioned broken leg.

** Peggy Lee did the voices of both Siamese cats, Darling, and of course her namesake Peg.
* HowlOfSorrow Jock after [[spoiler: Trusty's apparent death.]]

* OlderThanTheyThink: Many people who know of the sequel movie are unaware that Scamp has been starring in things as early as four months after the first movie was made.

* {{Sequelitis}}: Surprisingly averted, the sequel has some decent animation, catchy songs, and yes [[ABronxTale Chazz Palminteri]].
* StockFootage: This troper is still shocked that they shamelessly recycled the beavers design from this film for ''Gopher'' from WinnieThePooh.
** The beaver even has the same voice/lisp that Gopher has!
* ShellShockedVeteran: Trusty the bloodhound, whose glory days are well behind him and who just about has no sense of smell any more.

* TearJerker: The "No Place Like Home" sequence, done in dog howls. (This is one of the scenes that gets special mention by TheNostalgiaCritic in his "[[TopTenList Top]] [[UpToEleven Eleven]] Saddest Scenes".) A bit mitigated by the fact [[spoiler: that the dogs were doing that howling as cover for the escape tunnel being dug and is almost done.]]
** [[spoiler: Also, poor Jock who howls desperately, believing his best friend Trusty's dead]]
* TheDanza: Peggy Lee as Peg

* VerbalTic: Variant - the beaver speaks with a distinctive whistle, being buck-teethed.
** And sounds an awful lot like the later Gopher from WinnieThePooh. Coincidence?
* WackyCravings: During Darling's pregnancy.

--->'''"Darling"''': Yes! And some chop suey too!
* WoundedGazelleGambit: The Siamese cats wreck the house and then pretend that Lady mauled them, resulting in Lady being forced into a muzzle.

* GRatedSex: See the above entry

** There's also the case of Tramp's nickname for Lady- "Pigeon," shortened almost exclusively to "Pidge," which sounds a lot like another word...

** Further, the apes at the zoo can't communicate with the dogs because they're "too close to humans." (The apes look incredibly stupid compared to the dogs -- make of that what you will)

* DirectToVideo: The sequel

** There's even a conversation between Jock and Trusty later on how one of them will ''have'' to marry Lady now, in order to save her honor.

* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The TV spots for the sequel gave away the scene where [[spoiler:Trusty (and the audience) thinks he's found Scamp half-drowned in the river, but it's actually just a wig]].

* UnfortunateImplications: The Siamese Cats

* WronglyAccused: Thanks to the GoryDiscretionShot above, Aunt Sarah assumes Tramp was attacking the baby rather than saving it.

Originally released in 1955, ''Lady and the Tramp'' is the 15th entry in the DisneyAnimatedCanon. It tells the story of a loving couple and their family pet from [[ThisIsMyHuman the dog's point of view]]. Big changes are coming to Jim Dear and Darling's family, something that Lady has trouble understanding. Meanwhile, Lady herself has caught the eye of the Tramp, a stray dog (and ladies' [[strike:man]] dog) who prefers the uncertain freedom of the streets to a collar, which he views as slavery. He tries to convince Lady to live more recklessly, but she believes just as strongly in ThePowerOfLove.

** This troper's mother has a lifelong dislike of all cats and a belief that they they are all scheming little sods ''purely based on this film''. This despite having owned several perfectly nice cats as a child before ever seeing the film, apparently.

** True. There's even a conversation between Jock and Trusty later on how one of them will ''have'' to marry Lady now, in order to save her honor.
