Heartwarming / Lady and the Tramp (2019)

• A movie about dogs is bound to be cute:
  • Lady as a puppy is "adorable" personified.
  • The two puppies that end up getting adopted are absolutely heartmelting, especially with their baby talk.
  • The alley dog Isaac is oddly adorable. He's mean to Lady because she accidentally encroached on his territory, but you can hear it in his voice that he's just a stray trying to survive.
  • The dogs in the pound, particularly the german shepherd.
• After getting the muzzle off, Lady lands on Tramp's chest, they both sighed and looked at each other for a few seconds.
• As to be expected, the "Bella Notte" sequence is just as charming and as romantic as the animated moment.
• Tramp trying to teach Lady how to howl.
• Lady being introduced to Lulu after her ordeal that led to her being taken to the pound. Just how both she and the baby immediately come to love each other, with Lady licking her foot and Lulu giggling. Most of all Lady realizing that she still is loved and a part of the family. As she summarizes to Jock and Trusty...
  Lady: (regarding Jim Dear and Darling) No, I'm not the center of their world any more. But our world is bigger now, we have Lulu.
• Peg and Bull being adopted by the butcher.
• Even though it's a tearjerker, in that Lady and Tramp still break up, it's heartwarming in that Lady holds no hard feelings towards Tramp for leaving her at the train alley in this version, and that the break-up is more amicable and justified in that both dogs come from two different worlds that neither is ready to leave.
  Tramp: Look, um... Back at the train yard... I'm so sorry for, um... I never should've left your side.
  Lady: You said it yourself. Nobody else is loyal, so why should you be? I should have just believed you.
  Tramp: No. You shouldn't have believed me. Whatever I said about that, about, you know, being free and... That was not true. Because being free without you there, now it's just... That's just... being alone. Look, um, you know I'm a street dog. And I don't have much value to anyone...
  Lady: Don't you say that. You have value to me. I missed you.
  Tramp: Missed you, too.
  Lady: Sometimes I come outside at night just to howl at the moon.
  Tramp: (Chuckles) Well, that... That doesn't have to end. We could howl again. We can run free. Have more adventures. It's... It's not too late for that. Is it?
  Lady: Sorry... but it is. I belong here... with Jim Dear, and Darling, and Lulu. We're a family. They depend on me. And I'm loyal to them.
  Tramp: Yeah, you're... You're right. You deserve it, Lady.
  Lady: You deserve it, too. You deserve love. I'm just sorry that it can't be with me.
• Jim Dear and Darling and their interactions with Tramp, as they pet him and thank him for saving Lulu. Aside from Tony, they are probably the first human beings to show him affection and kindness in a long time.
• The ending at Christmas with Tramp officially becoming part of the family with his own collar and tag, and all five of them, the dogs and the humans, gathering together in a final cozy image on the couch as Darling sings "Peace on Earth."
• The mere fact that in this iteration, Jim Dear and Darling are an interracial couple. In 1909.
• Tramp giving the sandwich he was going to eat to two little puppies Dodge and Ollie who hustled him with their baby talk.
