La dama y el vagabundo

Once again Disney's live action remake of a classic animated movie hits the "well alright" mark. This definitely isn't an awful movie. The opening is actually pretty lovely, and overall the movie has a lot of nice aesthetic to it throughout. The few songs are honestly fine. Not really cringy or anything, they don't waste time on these really. The CGI of the dogs is kind of hit or miss. Some scenes it's actually pretty believable and looks great, others it can be a bit wonky. But the movie also lacks what visual luster an animated film brings, not to mention that this version is a bit longer than the animated, so the movie ends up feeling a bit laggy and drawn out. A few chuckle worthy moments, and it does pick up a bit near the end, but overall a very meh, good for playing in the background during casual night, movie. Remember this is a straight-to-video release, and you won't really face much disappointment.

Honestly not that bad, buT THE SIAMESE CAT TWINS AREN'T EVEN SIAMESE CATS !!!!! :(

The main impression - this live action version is only a multicultural manifesto, using as pretext only, the original Disney animation. I am not a fan of the live action versions because each of them is far by the poetry of the original. In this case, the sacrifices for a multicultural manifesto are too many and too much. And this is an obvious sin. In my case, for the lost of the beautiful - spices song of the Siamese cats. The virtues - the beautiful opening, F. Murray Abraham, Rose as the expected Lady and, sure, Yvette Nicole Brown performance.

Unfortunately Disney has decided it will infiltrate it's agenda with all its new movies or at least this movie and the new Lion King. This one is especially embarrassing because the era doesn't work as every other reviewer has stated. Please Disney, do some test reviews before you go this far out of what's believable by the viewer or shift the story line so that it works better. I can't imagine the ticket sales you lost over this. And BTW, It's okay to represent society accurately from a demographic standpoint.

Jim Dear brings home a dog for his wife Darling and they name her Lady. Street dog Tramp hides in her doghouse to escape the dogcatcher Elliott. He warns her that when "Baby moves in, the dog moves out." When the couple brings in newborn baby Lulu, Lady fears the worst. The family goes out of town leaving Lady in the care of Aunt Sarah. Lady is left on the street and rescued by the Tramp.

This is fun while it lasts. The ending goes on too long and I don't think the CGI is necessary. Back in the day, there were plenty of Disney dog movies. There is a charm to them and the real dogs are perfect for family films. They may not be cinematic greatness but they are fine if done right. The new Disney formula of reworking every animated classic with CGI may not be a good one-size-fits-all. They do the spaghetti scene again but it doesn't have quite the same magic. This is not a franchise that is most known for its action realism. It needs charm, romance, and joy. This movie needs to take this into the G-rated romantic Disney family fun area. That's why real puppies may actually be what's truly needed in this case. CGI dogs talking don't add anything important.
