Lady and the Tramp

Lady and the Tramp is the fifteenth animated feature in the Disney animated features canon. It was produced by Walt Disney and was originally released to theaters on June 16, 1955 by Buena Vista Distribution, a new division of Disney which assumed distribution rights of the studio's product from RKO Radio Pictures. It was the first animated feature filmed in the CinemaScope widescreen film process. The story pairs a Cocker Spaniel named Lady who lives with a rich family with a mutt (possibly part Great Dane) named Tramp who lives on the streets. Once of the two of them meet, they share an adventure together and eventually fall in love.

Trivia

It was originally intended to have Trusty die at the end of the film while saving Tramp from the dogcatcher, which is why Jock howls at his accident. Walt Disney, however, did not want a repeat of the controversy concerning the death of the mother in Bambi, and therefore Trusty was written into the epilogue sequence to say that he was merely injuried.
