Lady And The Tramp Diamond Edition Hits Shelves! {Review}

Always a fan of classic Disney films, I was thrilled to find out Lady and the Tramp was being released on DVD & Blu-Ray. This is one of those movies I grew up with and was very fond of. In fact, I remember going to Disney World when I was 12 years old and going on a mad hunt to find a stuffed Lady and Tramp in the shops there. {Yes, I found them.}

Now that I'm a mom to 3 kiddos, though, films like Lady and the Tramp are easy and natural additions to our DVD collection. I not only want them to enjoy it the way I did years ago, but I also want to watch it with them. And let me tell you, there's nothing like seeing a classic film remastered. The picture is crystal clear.

We received the Diamond Edition of Lady and the Tramp just the other day and my little ones were so excited. I put it in for them to watch and they were asking to watch it again as soon as it was over. Things like that put a smile on my face as I know they enjoy the magic of Disney films as much as I do.

Lady and the Tramp just hit store shelves yesterday so you can buy it to enjoy with your own family!

Here is some information from the press release for ya!

LADY AND THE TRAMP: DIAMOND EDITION 

Synopsis: A classic love story unfolds in the best Disney tradition as a lovely young pedigreed 

cocker spaniel named Lady, who lives a pampered life, finds herself falling romantically 

for Tramp, an amorous street-smart pooch without prospects. Although they have fun 

together on several dates, including a sentimental spaghetti dinner by moonlight at 

Tony’s restaurant, their relationship is strained not only by Lady’s loyalty to her human 

family and their newborn baby, but by Tramp’s devil-may-care attitude that eventually 

gets Lady in trouble and tossed into the dog pound. However, good-hearted Tramp 

redeems himself by saving the baby from potential harm and thus wins Lady’s love and 

the affection of her human family.
