Review – Lady and the Tramp

There’s probably a whole book in nothing but the sexual politics of this film, the mildly dissatisfied suburbanite corrupted by the devil-may-care ne’er-do-well from the wrong side of the tracks. It’s also interesting to note how unsophisticated the animation was compared to what Disney is doing now (I saw Mulan the night before I rented this picture), and how crude the racial stereotypes are. Still, there’s a certain naive charm here, if you can get past all the outdated baggage. Mildly amusing
