Lady and the Tramp Diamond Edition Blu-ray + DVD

I have always loved Lady and the Tramp and I vividly remember watching the VHS over and over with my sister when we were young.  I think we must have sung the “The Siamese Cat Song” {AKA “We Are Siamese”} every day from kindergarten to 5th grade and even to this day I can’t help but smile as I remember how much we adored the film. 

The one thing that wasn’t vivid was the quality of the tape from our youth that had seen its better days and hadn’t been treated as it should.  Seeing the Lady and the Tramp this past week in all its restored glory on Blu-ray was definitely the way it was meant to be seen.  Bright and vibrant in HD, the film’s hand-drawn artwork doesn’t show its age at all and even my husband thought it was decades newer than it actually is.

My daughter, who knows nothing of VHS tapes, will only ever know of Lady and the Tramp in its beautifully restored Blu-ray release and she was completely blown away.  In fact, it’s her new favorite movie, even surpassing her “princess movies” and she’s asked to watch it every single night since it arrived.  And, watching it again with her, I had forgotten how great of a movie it really is. 

A classic love tale about dogs from very different backgrounds coming together to realize that they have more in common than they had realized, it’s a fun twist on a “romantic comedy” for kids.  Perfect for Valentine’s Day and a fun movie for boys or girls, it’s a very welcome addition to our Disney Blu-ray collection.  In fact, with how much the whole family loves it, I have a feeling it’s going to be played a ton from now on.  Thank goodness DVDs can handle more play time than our old VHS could!

As with all Disney Diamond Edition combo packs, I love all the amazing extra features you get with purchase.  Besides the Blu-ray, you get the DVD feature film, the digital copy, as well as bonus features.  The bonus features in the Lady and the Tramp Diamond Edition were really fun and I learned a lot about the making of the film and all the things that had to come together to release Lady and the Tramp back in 1955.  It turns out that it’s not just a timeless tale about love, it’s also a historically significant film brought to life at a time in our country’s history that really needed fun.
