It’s February, Valentine’s month and I’m super excited about one of my most favorite Disney animated classics about love, “Lady and the Tramp,” joining the highly celebrated Walt Disney Signature Collection. This timeless tale will be loaded with three versions of the film, classic bonus material and three all-new feature when it’s available on Digital and on Movies Anywhere Feb. 20 and on Blu-ray on Feb. 27.
As one of the greatest love stories ever told, “Lady and the Tramp” is sure to melt the hearts of generations with its beloved characters, brilliant animation, memorable music and sweet sentiment. The animated treasure tells the story of Lady, a lovingly pampered cocker spaniel, and Tramp, a freewheeling mutt with a heart of gold. Through the Signature Collection edition, viewers can relive the pair’s thrilling adventures, sing along with the film’s unforgettable songs like “Bella Notte,” and swoon over one of the most memorable movie moments of all time—the iconic scene in which Lady and Tramp share a plate of spaghetti and an accidental kiss.
The Walt Disney Signature Collection edition will offer 3 exciting ways to watch “Lady and the Tramp”, the original theatrical version, sing-along mode and Walt’s story meetings. It’ll be available Digitally and via the Multi-screen Edition (formerly the Blu-ray Combo Pack). The Multi-screen Edition includes Blu-ray, DVD and a Digital copy, giving in-home consumers the flexibility to watch the film on different devices. In addition to classic bonus features, all-new extras invite viewers to enter Walt Disney’s original office suite on the Studio lot, discover Walt’s personal passion for pups, and receive a celebrity-hosted spaghetti and meatballs cooking lesson.
