It is hard to believe that Disney’s animated Lady and the Tramp premiered in 1955. The beloved film is a family favorite, which is why it got a live-action remake in 2019. The more recent movie is adorable and is a great addition to the franchise’s legacy.

To say that Disney has capitalized on revamping their old material would be an understatement. Some fans love to see old favorites like Lady and the Tramp in a new light, especially when there are exciting behind-the-scenes details to uncover.

10 It Is A Disney+ Original

Disney+ opened in a flurry of excitement in November 2019, so some people already don’t remember what its first originals were. Many fans see the new Lady and the Tramp on the streaming service and scratch their heads trying to remember when the movie first hit theaters–but it didn’t. Unlike many other remakes (Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, to name a few), Lady and the Tramp is a Disney+ original that went straight to the platform at launch. Mulan followed suit nearly a year later, but at a $30 premium for early access.

9 Filmed In Georgia

Filming for Lady and the Tramp took place primarily in Savannah, Georgia. Since it was all done in the heat of the Georgia summer, the pooches got the royal treatment. While the humans sweated it out, the dogs got to rest in refrigerated tents. Tramp (voiced by Justin Theroux and played by Monte) and Lady (voiced by Tessa Thompson and played by Rose) really hit it off, so they must have enjoyed cooling down together between takes.

8 But Where Is It Set?

The original Lady and the Tramp is remembered for its exquisitely drawn seasonal scenery, sweeping soundtrack, and lovable canine characters. A bit of Disney history reveals a likely candidate for the live-action film’s setting. No setting is specified for the original (which was inspired by a magazine story), but it was based on Walt Disney’s small hometown of Marceline, Missouri.

According to Oh My Disney, Walt’s locale also partly influenced the design for Disneyland’s Main Street USA. The park opened a mere month after Lady and the Tramp. Fast-forward to 2019, and the new film’s setting looks quite similar to its animated counterpart, but it is now set in New Orleans.

7 Long Spaghetti Date

According to the New York Post, it took three days to film the romantic spaghetti dinner scene with the two pups. Real noodles just weren’t holding up, so the dogs were eventually given un-dyed, sugarless chicken broth-soaked licorice. They ate it right up, too. Mark Forbes, the lead dog trainer, even taught Monte (Tramp) how to push that meatball over to his date. What a sweet surprise. If it weren’t for some creative animators like Frank Thomas back in the 1950s, the scene may never have happened–Walt did not like it when they were creating the first movie!

6 The Dog Parents Are Seen!

The mystique of the original Lady and the Tramp is in its dog’s-eye view of the world. Jim, Dear and Darling are just feet and bodies in the animated classic. The live-action version actually shows their faces when they speak, giving them a completely different aura in the retelling, where they are played by Thomas Mann and Kiersey Clemons.

5 Excellent Human Actors

In addition to Mann and Clemons, there are several other fantastic humans to interact with the dogs. Yvette Nicole Brown portrays cat-loving Aunt Sarah, and she is spot on with her operatic disdain for the dogs. The incredibly sought-after Ken Jeong doesn’t miss a beat as the doctor who tells Lady “good luck” in dealing with the new baby. Arturo Castro and F. Murray Abraham belt out “Bella Notte” with gusto as Joe and Tony, and Adrian Martinez is scarily convincing as the dog-catcher.

4 Includes Some Original Songs

Lady and the Tramp wouldn’t be the same without classics like “He’s a Tramp,” “Bella Notte,” “La La Lu,” and “Peace on Earth.” All of these are present in the new film, although they are sung by new voices. Kiersey Clemons, as Darling, sings “La La Lu” (originally sung by Peggy Lee) and “Peace on Earth” (originally sung by Donald Novis and the Disney Studio Chorus), both of which she executes beautifully and lightly. Janelle Monáe puts a new spin on “He’s a Tramp,” giving it a jazzy flair that rivals the animated film’s rendition.

3 Has Other Musical Updates

Fans are glad to see that the live-action movie did away with the racially insensitive cat song from the animated feature. Janelle Monáe’s writing and producing team crafted a new song for the “tearing up the living room” scene entitled “What a Shame.”

The swinging number is a thousand times better than its offensive predecessor, but the new film could have done without a cat song altogether. Joseph Trapanese had quite a task in crafting an original soundtrack for the new film, and he did an excellent job.

2 Considers Animal Rights More

In addition to forgoing a racially insensitive song, the live-action film makes some other positive changes. Lady might still have to go inside a Christmas hat box when she’s a baby, but she is not fed doughnuts anymore, which is great considering that they could really hurt her. When Aunt Sarah takes Lady to the pet shop and wants to muzzle her, the pet shop owner is against it (but he muzzled the dog quickly in the original film). The manager of the pound is just as cruel, but the scene at the movie’s end where Jim and Darling rescue Tramp is both brave and heartwarming.

1 Watch To The Very End

For those who have not yet seen the 2019 Disney film, be sure to watch the opening sequence with rapt attention, and don’t skip the closing scene! The bookends to the film are a gentle touch of the animated Disney classic, beginning and ending like a picture-perfect postcard. The Victorian home of Jim, Dear and Darling is blanketed in snow, making the whole thing feel like a soft, wintry dream.
