Beautiful animation but sub-par songs and plot make this perhaps my least favorite among the older Disney animated classics. The idea of a mixed-breed animal romance is definitely interesting, but the primary crux of the story is class: will the blue-blood Lady run away with the Tramp or tame his wilder instincts so that they can live together in her upscale home? This is also a story of loneliness, given the sudden loss of interest in her from her owners as they prepare for a baby. The picture-perfect image of small-town America (and evidently in a small Midwestern town or city), as seen from the 1950s, is also very interesting. I couldn't help but notice the "Yale" flag that hangs in the home of "Jim Dear." Maybe a little too much?
Sienna enjoyed this when she watched it at around 4 years old; Sebastian saw it in previews and was "excited to learn about the characters" but didn't enjoy it enough to finish it when we watched it in January 2021 (while Sienna was staying overnight in DesMoines for a gymnastics meet).
