A few thoughts upon re-watching the film:

-I've always thought that the song that Lady sings about "What is a Baby" sounded kind of creepy. Just watch!
-I think Aunt Sarah could go down in history as one of Disney's most hated animated characters.
-"We Are Siamese" is my favorite song!
-This film is adorable all the way from the beginning with Lady as a puppy to the end where she has pups of her own!

Trivia:
-Barbara Luddy (Lady) also performs the voice of Merryweather (Sleeping Beauty), Rover (101 Dalmatians),  Mother Mouse and Mother Rabbit (Robin Hood), and Kanga (The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh).
-First animated feature to be filmed in CinemaScope.
-Was named one of the top 25 animated films of all time by TIME magazine in 2011.

If you have never seen "Lady and the Tramp", I highly recommend it! It's one of the best love stories for people and dogs alike!
