"Lady
and the Tramp" (released on June 22, 1955) is a full length featured
animated film produced by Walt Disney and released by Buena Vista
Distribution. The film was the 15th in the Walt Disney Animated Classics
series, and it was the first animated feature filmed in with the
CinemaScope widescreen film process. The film was based on the story
"Happy Dan, The Whistling Dog" by Ward Greene and tells the story of a
female American Cocker Spaniel named Lady who lives with a refined,
upper-middle-class family. Lady meets a male stray mutt named Tramp and
they embark on many exciting and romantic adventures.
One
evening in 1937, Disney storyman Joe Grant invited Walt Disney over to
his house for dinner and ended up showed Disney a drawing he had made of
his pet spinger spaniel, who was named Lady. Walt loved the drawing and
suggested that Joe make a storyboard out of it; which he did and the
plan was to create a new animated film, simply titled "Lady." The story
that was pitched ended up being too simplistic to Walt Disney's taste,
and the project was put on hold until about 20 years later.
Initially
Tramp was called Homer and although he was first conceived as Lady's
suitor, he ended up as her ex-dog pound mate in the initial 1943
storyboard pitch. A few years after that version was scrapped, Walt
Disney read a story called "Happy Dan the Cynical Dog" in Cosmopolitan Magazine
and decided that this was they type of character that was needed to
enhance the film. Although Walt wanted his new character to be called
Tramp, the animators feared that audiences would take offense in such a
name, due to the word's sexual connotations that had been popularized by
the song "The Lady Is A Tramp." The animators first called the
character Rags, then Bozo; before Walt insisted that that name Tramp
would be acceptable
Tramp
is a very laid-back dog and acts more like a kid. He's flirtatious and
has history of having had a multitude of girlfriends; and he's known for
his street smarts, able to both avoid dog catchers and deal with
junkyard dogs. However, he dreams about living with a family and in a
loving home. Tramp was animated by Ollie Johnston, Milt Kahl,
and Wolfgang Reitherman who animated the rat fight scene.
Larry
Roberts (1926 - 1992) was an American voice actor and comedian who was
most active in the 1950s. Although he was well known for his role in the
1950s TV series Lights, Camera, Action!, he is best remembered for his role of the voice of Tramp.
This
is a wonderful original production animation cel setup of Tramp with Scamp and two other female puppies. At the end of the film Tramp has become an official member of the Jim Dear and Darling family. It is revealed that he and Lady have had four puppies, three females and a single male puppy named Scamp. Tramp is a nice full figure is eyes
and mouth open image. Scamp is running ahead and there is a pair of female puppies playing while rolling around on the floor. This would be a great addition to
any vintage Walt Disney animation art collection!
