Milestones
- The first animated film to be made in widescreen CinemaScope (and the widest film Disney has ever created).
- With Peggy Lee as part of the cast, this is arguably the first animated film to feature the voice of a superstar celebrity.
Trivia
- Based on the short story Happy Dan, The Whistling Dog by Ward Greene.
- An allternate 1.33:1 full screen "academy ratio" version of the film was also made simultaneously.
- Originally Walt Disney didn't want the famous 'Bella Note' spaghetti-eating scene in the film.
- The film began life as a sketch drawn by Joe Grant in 1937 based on his pet Springer spaniel (who was also named Lady!). Walt loved it so much, he asked Joe to do a storyboard around it (which he based on how in real life the Springer spaniel was being shifted aside by Joe's new-born baby). From the late 1930's to the early 1940's, the animators and writers work on Joe’s story with various ideas (some of which would end up in the final film such as the Siamese cats and Boris the Russian wolfhound). A full version of storyboards was completed in 1943, but charm and loveliness alone for Lady was not enough for Walt’s liking, so the project was on hold as a result until one day that same year, Walt was reading a short story in Cosmopolitan called “Happy Dan, the Cynical Dog” by Ward Greene and figured the idea could work if someone soft could be brought into contact with someone cynical. The film started up production once again in the 50’s (and both after securing the rights the short story and World War II) but by that time, Joe Grant left the studio after a falling out with Walt Disney and even then the studio was still making the story from scratch. So Walt asked Ward Greene to do a novelized version which was published in 1953 and became the main source material for the film, leaving Joe Grant’s original version and contributions ignored (and even his name not credited in the film). It wasn’t until 2006 that the Lady's Pedigree: The Making of Lady and the Tramp documentary on the Platinum Edition DVD finally gave Joe Grant and his contributions the credit they deserved.
- Some of the original names for Tramp included Homer (which was also one of the original names for one of the dogs for one of the early versions of the film), Rags, and Bozo. Walt then decided at some point to call him "Tramp" which led to discussion at the studio due to the term "tramp" not being acceptable, but since Walt Disney approved of the choice, it was considered safe under his acceptance.
