Lady & The Tramp II - Scamp's Adventure
Walt Disney Video Product Details |
Amazon.com
One of the remarkable things about making an animated sequel is that actors don't age. It took Disney 46 years to make a sequel to its 1955 hit Lady and the Tramp, yet the events of this made-for-video sequel take place only six months later. Lady and Tramp are getting along fine with their human family, the Darlings, and they have four new puppies. The three girl puppies take after mom, the boy, Scamp, has a lot of dad in him. Scamp dreams of "being a real dog," and that means living on the street as a member of the Junkyard Dogs. Despite his dad's warnings, Scamp (voiced by Scott Wolf) runs off and goes through the trials of a mutt, including run-ins with Junkyard leader Buster (Chazz Palminteri); the dog catcher (Don Knotts); and a fellow stray, Angel (Alyssa Milano). The formula here is the same as other Disney direct-to-video sequels The Lion King and The Little Mermaid, and the justification to return to a classic movie is flimsy at best. To its credit, Disney has made a quality effort in the animation department, adapting sets and characters from the original with great success. But the story is never engaging, the songs are forgettable, and the impact unsustainable (and at 62 minutes, quite trite). Nevertheless, a Disney kid should dig Scamp's rough-and-tumble adventures and the cute tale of puppy love (Scamp and Angel even revisit the Italian diner). The purist: beware. --Doug Thomas

Summary: Severe inconsistancies with the original with a crappy plot to boot 2007-04-20
Comment: LATT 2 is about (you guessed it) Tramp's son Scamp, which is actually the good thing about this movie. Like other disney DTVs, LATT 2 sends an overly preachy message to kids about "fitting in", of course. But the inconsistancies with the original LATT are shocking. For example, Scamp is 6 months old in the sequel and is portrayed as the size of a 3 month old puppy. In the original film, Lady was an adult dog at 6 months old. What's with that, people??? Dogs have puppies at 5-6 months old. Read a book and study for once, disney!
As for the plot, it's just a recreation of the original LATT's. This time Scamp digs out of the fence and meets a girl stray named Angel, and ends up bringing her home after a VERY familiar speggetti scene. The songs were horribly sappy and modern pop. The entire thing was crap. What more is there to say? 1 star at most for this.

Summary: Cute, but not comparable to the original. 2007-02-20
Comment: My son has seen this once and has not shown interest in watching it again. Disappointing, since it was $25 through the Disney DVD Club. I wouldn't reccommend to anyone who loves the original. You will be let down.

Comment: Cute movie. It was nice to have the movie continue on, and it was nice also that some of the memorable characters from the first movie made appearances in this one.
