Line #13 YMMV/LadyAndTheTramp


1	* AccidentalInnuendo: "I wonder what the [[UsefulNotes/{{BDSM}} leash and collar set]] do for excitement?"
2	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation:
3	** Aunt Sarah, especially to people who aren't dog lovers. It is possible that Sarah is just prejudiced against dogs and doesn't like them. It is also possible that Sarah didn't want to allow ''any'' animals near the baby, since she did leave her cats downstairs (although she brings them upstairs with her after their WoundedGazelleGambit). Though many would still call it an overreaction to see a small family dog wag its tail and angrily chase it out of the room as if it was a rodent.
4	** The alligator in the zoo. Trying to eat Lady, or trying to help remove the muzzle and simply not realising his mouth was too big?
5	** The rat gets this too, to a much lesser extent. Was it truly trying to kill the baby, or was it only focused on using the house as a shelter? Though if you pay attention in its fight with Tramp, the rat at some point prepares to jump into the baby's crib.
6	** The three vicious street dogs and the reason why they chase Lady. They don't like trespassers in their territory? They used to be guard or police dogs before becoming stray so anyone which they see as an intruder can set them off? [[FridgeHorror Or]], it's likely Lady was in heat at the time, given the BabiesEverAfter ending and the fact that the puppies seem to have been conceived during that night's adventures with Tramp...
7	* {{Applicability}}: Jim Dear and Darling having a baby and its effects on Lady. Children whose parents are expecting can relate to Lady, as they would have similar fears about a new sibling getting more attention. In fact, [[https://youtu.be/alv70jaouhQ a Disney educational short film]] in which these situations are compared was released in TheSeventies.
8	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
9	** "''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjp1hVpMyx0 The Siamese Cat Song]]''". Its portrayal of the Siamese cats is rather... dated to say the least, but the song is still well sung and perfectly captures the sneaky and mischievous nature of Lady’s new guests.
10	** "''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zauziuni8pc He's a Tramp]]''" and "''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUEC49hWQoM Bella Notte]]''", too.
11	* DesignatedVillain:
12	** The dog catcher is perhaps the least evil of the BigBadEnsemble; his job is to find dogs and put them in his pound to await pickup, but the film generally portrays him as antagonistic for this, particularly when he agrees to have Tramp put to sleep.
13	** Though she may be particularly harsh towards Lady and the Tramp, Aunt Sarah does what she does out of concern for others, particularly for her cats (who get Lady muzzled with a WoundedGazelleGambit) and for Darling's child. Plus, [[BerserkButton she hates runaways (and also, it would seem, strays)]], to the point of chaining Lady to the backyard doghouse to teach her a lesson, and around the time she arranges for Tramp's euthanasia, she is only aware of two things as far as the surrounding circumstances were concerned: one, that the child's life was in danger, and two, that two dogs, one of them a stray, were at the scene.
14	* EthnicScrappy: The infamous Siamese Cat duo. On top of being villains with YellowPeril undertones, their Ethnic Scrappy status manifests itself in their buck teeth and the annoyingly terrible grammar during their song.
15	* MexicansLoveSpeedyGonzales: The film is full of NationalStereotypes from Irish cops to Mexican chihuahuas, yet all kinds of people enjoy watching it. Being one of Disney's first ventures into real diversity, it's pretty FairForItsDay.
16	** Despite the characters being criticized for being Oriental stereotypes, there are plenty of actual Asians of Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese descent who enjoy Si and Am and their VillainSong.
17	** Likewise, many Italians and Italian-Americans love Tony and Joe for their kindness towards the titular characters and their genuinely funny banter.
18	* {{Moe}}: Lady as a puppy. She's absolutely ''adorable''. Likewise, the puppies she and Tramp have at the end of the movie are just as cute as she is when she was a puppy.
19	* {{Narm}}: When the rat is bitten by Tramp the first time, it squeaks like a ''[[UnsoundEffect chew toy]]''. (It squeaks normally every other time, not even close to narmy.)
20	* NarmCharm: Two dogs share a romantic dinner with "kissing", accompanied by an AwardBaitSong. It's the famous SignatureScene of the film for a reason, as people adored it.
21	* NightmareRetardant: If one has watched ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'', the scene where Tramp tries talking an alligator into removing Lady's muzzle can be this. The alligator shares his biting sound effect with Tick-Tock the Crocodile's.
22	* OneSceneWonder:
23	** All the dogs at the pound (save for Peg and Bull, who appear in one other scene early on).
24	** Si and Am, the two Siamese cats Aunt Sarah brings, pretty much only appear in their introduction and yet that one scene is one of the film's most known. [[WolverinePublicity Sometimes they even appear on the home video cover]].
25	** Surely, the beaver counts as well, since, despite only appearing once, he still has a fairly significant role, and is very helpful and friendly. It also helps that he was the basis for [[Franchise/WinnieThePooh Gopher]].
26	** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPiaB7z4ehY Hyena in the Zoo,]] which got a fair amount of recognition in later years from ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot'' fans due to being the source of [[LaughingMad the crazy laugh]] used by long-time series villain [[PsychoPrototype Ripper Roo]].
27	* PopularWithFurries: Lady and Tramp themselves have quite a considerable amount of furry fans. Peg also has a few.
28	* RetroactiveRecognition: Boris, the philosophy-quoting Russian dog, would later be heard as [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones Fred Flintstone]].
29	* SignatureScene: The SpaghettiKiss.
30	* SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel: The opening sequence with Lady as a puppy. She's so adorable!
31	* TearDryer: Trusty surviving the accident with the dogcatcher's wagon, albeit with his leg bandaged up.
32	* ThemePairing: Duchess from ''WesternAnimation/TheAristocats'' and Lady are shipped together because both are fancy, lady-like, and easygoing {{Uptown Girl}}s whose canonical love interests are "Tramps". It helps that give or take a year, both their movies take place in the same time period.
33	* ValuesDissonance:
34	** The portrayal of the two [[EthnicScrappy Siamese cats]], which is steeped in YellowPeril iconography. It's no wonder that [[Film/LadyAndTheTramp2019 the live-action remake]] changes them into Devon Rexes and gives them a new song, much to the anger of fans who liked the duo.
35	** The word "tramp" has changed its main colloquial meaning in the United States since the movie was made, with its modern connotation being aimed at women and decidedly less family-friendly. It's unlikely the word "tramp" would ever appear in a modern Disney animated movie unless it was specifically referencing this film. It makes the fact that there's an entire song about it HilariousInHindsight.
36	* {{Woolseyism}}: When Lady is upset about Jim Dear having referred to her as "that dog", the word they use in the Norwegian dub is more of a slang word for dog ("bikkja") making her shock even more understandable.
