"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.

Besides
Lady and Tramp, the standout character is the film is Peg, a Pekingese
who is one of the dogs encountered by Lady when she ends up at the dog
pound. Peg is named after and slightly resembles her voice actress,
Peggy Lee. Peg's highlight in the film was her singing the song "He's A
Tramp" in the dog pound.
Peggy
Lee was an American pop and jazz singer, songwriter, and actress who
provided the original speaking and singing voices of not only Peg, but
Si and Am and Darling. Lee also composed the majority of the film's
soundtrack with Sonny Burke; as well as performed "He's a Tramp", "La La
Lu", "What Is a Baby?", and "The Siamese Cat Song."
Peg was wonderfully animated by veteran Disney animator Eric Larson. From Walt Disney animator Andreas Deja:
"Eric
usually downplayed his capabilities as a draughtsman when compared to
animators like Kahl, Davis or Frank and Ollie. But his assignments for
the film Lady and the Tramp show clearly that he was not only a great
actor with a pencil, but that his drawings were right on par with the
studio's high standards. Peg's animation during her song "He's a Tramp"
is beautifully timed in its rhythm and elegant moves."
This
is a wonderful full figure, eyes and mouth open, original production animation cel of Peg. Just a perfect image and a great addition to any animation art collection!
