Disney+ is finally here, and no, I didn’t watch The Mandalorian. Not yet, at least. I decided my time was better spent watching another shameless live-action remake of a beloved Disney classic. You know, because reasons!
Cynicism aside, I plan on binge-watching The Mandalorian later this year, and since Disney+ debuted with a limited supply of new movies, I figured Lady and the Tramp would be a great film to start with. Although I must admit (and let’s keep this between us…), I haven’t seen the 1955 original.
I know, I know. It’s practically a sin, but let’s just call this review a nostalgia-free experience where I look at Charlie Bean’s Lady and the Tramp with a clear lens. And, well, it sure was an experience. So, press that play button and let’s get started!
Tune in weekly for new episodes of Cinematic Doctrine!
Lady and the Tramp (2019) is Rated PG for some mild thematic elements and action/peril.
