Hey guys, Jana here, 

Disney is cranking open the vault with a selection from the Walt Disney Signature Collection. ‘Lady and the Tramp‘ will be widely released onto Digital and Blu-ray in February. If you want to add the blu-ray to your collection, it will become available on February 27, and the digital copy becomes available a week before that on February 20.

It’s time to introduce a new generation of Disney-lovers to one of the original films in Disney-canon and the 15th animated film in the Disney franchise. When you purchase the film, you will receive three different versions of the film, classic bonus material and three all-new features. If flexibility is what you want when you purchase ‘Lady and the Tramp‘, look no further because this release has got everything covered. What was formerly called the Blu-ray Combo Pack, is now the Multi-screen Edition. This includes Blu-ray, DVD, and a Digital Copy. Thereby making watching easy on a multitude of devices.

Among the bonus features, there are all-new extras that will show Walt Disney’s original office suite on the Studio lot, discover Walt’s personal passion for pups, along with a celebrity-hosted spaghetti and meatballs cooking lesson. There’s something here for everyone!

When you think of classic love stories, ‘Lady and the Tramp‘ pops up near the top of the list, for me. It holds several hallmarks that a love story will typically follow. We’ve got opposites attracting in the form of a very pampered Cocker Spaniel named Lady from the upper-class side of town, and Tramp, a freewheeling mutt with a heart of gold who comes from a very different side of town. We see the pair fall in love and that classic spaghetti-kiss is held in the collective memory of all of us. We have some drama come in to play when Lady’s humans have a baby. She gets pushed aside a bit, and personally hated by Aunt Sarah and her two scheming Siamese cats who have come to stay and help with the baby.

 

 

Lady and the Tramp” is the sixth title to join the Walt Disney Signature Collection, which includes groundbreaking films created or inspired by the imagination and legacy of Walt Disney, featuring timeless stories and characters that have touched generations. The film takes its place alongside ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs‘, ‘Beauty and the Beast‘, ‘Pinocchio‘, ‘Bambi‘ and ‘The Lion King‘.
