In a mixed review, Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune wrote, "The worst of this new Lady and the Tramp comes when the script piles on the strenuous comic action, followed by ill-advised dark shadows." [33] Accolades Award More problems arose as the premiere date got closer since not all theaters had the capability to show CinemaScope at the time. Upon learning this, Walt issued two versions of the film: one in widescreen, and another in the Academy ratio. This involved gathering the layout artists to restructure key scenes when characters were on the edges of the screen. [14] Release

As far as the widescreen version that most will (and should) opt for, yes, change has occurred and for the better. Unlike its 1999 Limited Issue DVD release in the 2.35:1 aspect ratio, Lady here measures to exactly 2.55:1, meaning the entire width of its Scope aspect ratio (and Lady is Disney's widest animated film ever) has apparently been preserved. That such a feat was accomplished is part of more great news; like other classic films treated to Platinum Editions, Lady has undergone a drastic restoration job from the fine folks at DTS Digital Images (formerly known as Lowry Digital). While Disney's press materials haven't made as big a deal of this as they did for Cinderella or Bambi, the results are every bit as pleasing, if not more so.

Walt Disney read the short story written by Ward Greene, titled "Happy Dan, the Cynical Dog", in the Cosmopolitan magazine, published in 1945. [6] [7] He thought that Grant's story would be improved if Lady fell in love with a cynical dog character like the one in Greene's story, and bought the rights to it. [8] The cynical dog had various names during development, including Homer, Rags, and Bozo, before "Tramp" was chosen. [6] Kiefer, Halle (October 15, 2019).
