Lady & The Tramp II - Scamp's Adventure

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

Severe inconsistancies with the original with a crappy plot to boot.......2007-04-20

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.

wut the heck is wrong with disney .......2007-02-24

this movie sux disney sequals were never as good as the original but most of them i enjoy like beauty and the beast 2&3 and the lion king sequals but this one suck the vocies are not even close 2 the original one ( i know the could't get the original vocies but could make and effort to have them sound alike) also the music sux and number three i am wondering if walt disney were still alive would the movie be better ( probably would of ) and if he were still alive would he realsie that he shouldn't make sequals that have the same events that the first one had like the dogs eating spaggati and they kiss that also the ending suck i couldn't belive the disney company would make a s***y ending like that this is defenitly on the bottom shelf of my dvd colecction

Cute, but not comparable to the original........2007-02-21

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.

Enjoyable!.......2007-01-13

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.

I like the original much better, but this is okay for a sequel. It's a little weird that Lady wasn't in the movie that much, and that Tramp's character was a little overbearing, but for the most part it's decent. The songs aren't that similar to the original, but I personally like them. Scamp and Angel are a really cute couple and I love both of their characters. The love part of the story is in my opinion the best part. However, the dog-catcher was a disappointment. He was just goofy and stupid and not a great antagonist. But most of the characters were good. The plot is simple and predictable. The movie itself is cute and good for little kids.

Overall, a decent sequel but of course not nearly as good as the original.
