Hey there, animation addicts. I'm Morgan Stradling. And I'm Chelsea Robson. Chelsea, if you could have one of the two of these superpowers, if you will, from Lady and the Tramp, would you rather have Tramp's street smarts or Lady's charm?
Hmm. That is a good, that is a good question. I think that either one makes life a little easier. So I think it's a kind of a luck of the draw and. But I think I'd still rather go for the charm because I think that makes it that much easier. Nice. Yes. The social, the social prowess. Street smarts are a really, really great.
Yeah. Skill to have in life. Just the street rat able, not that to be street smart, you have to be a street rat. Whenever I think of that, I think of Aladdin. So it immediately comes to mind. But yeah, being able to just navigate the world that way and just be really slick and fly and it can come in handy for sure. Definitely as a dog. Definitely. Definitely as a dog.
We are not doing another dog series. We are beginning. We're calling it our Disney Plus series, where we are going to be reviewing films that were released exclusively on Disney Plus over the past few years. And we will be starting this off.
with disney's lady and the tramp from 2019 this is going to be a struggle for me because majority of these are live action remakes and i have very much a line in the sand that i drew that i was not going to support these or watch these and you have gone back on that well the fact that it's been
five years. I mean, by November, it'll be six years. But I think enough time has passed that whatever amount of money or stock value they were to get from me watching this is long, long since past. You made your point. So I think this will be fun because there's a whole bunch on here that were released exclusively that we can dive into and live action remakes. I've purposely ignored them, but I think it's time, you know, that we.
tackle them so I can have more of an informed opinion. And oh boy, oh boy, do I have an informed opinion on this one now that I've seen it. Let's roll right in. All right. So some basic information about The Lady and the Tramp before we get started. The release date, November 12th, 2019. This was one of the flagship...
initial movies that was released for Disney Plus on opening day, opening day on the opening of the service. We'll talk about that. The production studio, Walt Disney Pictures and TaylorMade distributor, Walt Disney Studios motion picture. The director was Charlie Bean. Now you're like, who's that? Well, this was his second directorial debut. His first one was the Lego Ninjago movie. And he's known as an American filmmaker, animator, storyboard artist and voice actor.
did a lot of things in animation and whatnot and did some voice acting and very much involved in the animation process and filmmaking process and then was brought on to to adapt this budget. Don't know. And box office don't know. Back on Charlie Bean, I was perusing the internets and there is a very interesting... About an hour long interview that the university or Utah Valley University did, their animation department did, or maybe it's just film school, did with him over a Zoom.
when it came out and it was very you know very interesting to hear it from his perspective well to hear specifically on how all of the all of the everything that a film student would ask kind of questions. So that's a plug. We'll put those in the show notes as well. You should check out with this. Yeah. So, you know, it's interesting. Immediately first thoughts is that this very much feels like a made for TV movie.
And something that we haven't really talked about is this weird transition from the Disney Channel, which was this flagship brand for 30 plus years where they they made movies that were these big events, these tentpole films. that were released, you know, as the Disney Channel original movie. And then as streaming came along, they really started to stop those and move anything that maybe normally would fall under the Disney Channel original movie banner.
Wasn't quite ready for primetime as far as being released theatrically. And they moved that all to Disney Plus. Like, I can't really even think of any sort of Disney Channel original movie in the past five years. I'm sure there has been some. But they're not. We don't think of it because they've really shifted away from their bread and butter model. One of their bread and butter models, which was the cable channel, which made a lot of money because of the advertising backbone that it had.
Well, there is a little bit of a, of a confusion with this too, because some of the production money has actually been shifted back to the Disney channel.
because they wanted to make it look like Disney Plus wasn't losing as much money as it was. So, I mean, that's kind of debatable as far as what was technically a Disney Channel original at this point. So it's kind of going... back and forth yeah this was supposed to be for streaming first i mean this was announced in 2018 i mean no this was yes but yes as in the most in the last two years oh yeah yes there's been a very concerted effort to
Crap, we have to show investors that this is successful. It's making money. How do we do that? Ah, let's turn the Moana to or the Moana TV series. Let's turn that theatrically. We'll take that off the books. Let's take this off the books and put it over here. So yeah, as. Disney Plus just has not really been financially viable for Disney. They've they've shifted things. But this one, I think, was always meant to be because even in the early press releases, as I was looking up on this.
2018 summer 2018 is when they announced it and very then they announced the people that are involved and then it was coming out a year later and then they announced yeah it's going to be on disney plus so it was always sort of the plan and you know it was just something to say hey This is something new. This is something original. It's not just the vault that has all of our old stuff. There's new exciting things here too.
Yeah. And that was in that interview. He did mention that the hardest part of the process was the fact that they did have a hard deadline because even though it wasn't theatrical, it still had to have. almost a theatrical release schedule because it was uh part of the the reason why i want somebody would want to sign up right away because oh no i don't want to miss out on the live action lady and the tramp so
Which at this point, live action remakes, I think there was a little bit of tedium. Is that a word? It was tedious at this point. Meaning, I mean... It was still novel, I think, at that point. I remember it being slightly novel. Okay, for me, being a rare beauty, if you will. A rare flower in the desert.
It worn off for me because I didn't even go to see The Lion King. And that went on to be the highest grossing animated film up until that point. So you're right. I stand corrected. This was still very much novel. But for me, it was wearing off. And so, hey, you know, there's another live action remake. I don't think even Dumbo was released at this point. That was maybe a year or two later. But yeah, it was.
Feel something like, oh, cool. You know, I love Lady and the Tramp. Let's go check it out. Right. So check it out. We shall. The very first thing that caught me off guard a little bit is the very beginning when they have the Disney logo. There was this jazz music.
this live action princess and the frog what's going on here and are we changing immediately i thought okay with jazz are we changing location and we did and they didn't necessarily make it explicit but apparently this was filmed in savannah georgia and so they made this conscious effort to switch it to a more southern but at the same time based on the architecture i mean i wanted to do research i wanted to look up 1920s savannah versus
1920s you know uh northeast to see the architecture differences to see okay can you really just like switch it like that because if you wouldn't have known like the jazz music aside it it would have felt like wherever the setting was in the original with snow and you know that's the thing is snowed which isn't an atlanta thing so that's why it's like we're gonna film it here i mean they get a lot of they get a lot of perks in savannah right um
So I don't know if these were actual sets or neighborhoods that were historical that they filmed it in, or if it was more of a soundstage sort of thing, because Georgia does have a lot of tax breaks. So I'd be surprised with either. Or I wouldn't be surprised. I mean... either i'd be like okay yeah makes sense yeah those those homes looked pretty legitimate to it the area um as far because they do still have quite a bit of the of that
flair of that time period that are just simply gorgeous it's like wow can we just go back to building homes like that i just was drooling at those big porches and all the ornamentation The reason they don't build them today is two reasons. One, air conditioning. We have it. So people don't have to go out on their porch, don't have to. And how they would get air conditioning at the time is they would wet sheets.
they would take wet sheets and they would hang them up on the porch and then they would let the wind go through it and that would be their homemade air conditioning and so that's was very utilitarian in that way but also it was very nice and it was lovely to have you know be able to sit out front porch sitting and rocking and all these things and Also, the second reason is today the porch is not included in modern day square footage, which means that house builders...
they are not able to raise the listing price to accommodate and to actually make the money back on the extra materials used for that giant wraparound porch so they don't do it which is just so sad so sad like so many things beauty has been just completely forgotten about with modern building and it makes me sad but here we are we can
We can be a different generation. I'm just saying we can do this together. Let's demand it. So I actually looked this up and the movie while filmed in Savannah, Georgia was actually set in New Orleans, which modern Disney has. session with new orleans new orleans that they are just trying to make new orleans a thing they really want to tie it in to the disney parks i don't know but it's like everything is like how can we
take over this city and culture and make it part of Disney, which is interesting. But there are real locations that were listed, like the Georgia State Railroad Museum. Johnson Square, Wright Square, the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. And some of the houses here, you know, people are there's a little video of talking about like, hey, they use our house or they use this house.
Of course, I have other other filming details when I was looking this up. The movie has been criticized for an idealized version, idealized version of the American South during Jim Crow era. Like, of course, like that's every criticism.
modern criticism of any time disney tries to do something like this like disney tried to like throw everyone a bone who would have had a problem with this like look 85 of the cast is black right and we're gonna film it here and like we're totally changing the the location and the people and This is still the criticism that people have. You will never win. You will never win trying to appease this group. You can never make a movie about the Jim Crow era. You can even show it as true to form.
You'd be like, hey, this video that is actually someone's video, like before video cameras were invented and I found it and this is actual footage like. This idolizes that. The fact that this exists means that there was one kind of... But this is actual footage. I'm not idolizing anything. It's just how it was. Nope. Nope. It's idolized. Sorry. Right. Okay. You can't.
So, you know, knowing all of this. Interesting. I like the change. I thought it was fine. It was it was similar enough. And there was a lot of points of this movie where it's like not shot by shot, but definitely the opening scene with. Well, parts of the opening scene with Lady going up the stairs and escaping, like felt very like we are going to recreate this iconic moment. Yeah. And at the time, remember, this was a very normal thing.
uh especially with say like beauty and the beast like that's how they capitalized on it we're gonna do this exactly the same look how close we can get which beauty the beast did that quite yes so it was It was a thing that they were trying to do. Like, okay, let's lean into that. They like it. They like it, right? Yeah. One thing I didn't like, and I noticed this almost immediately, was, okay, we're setting it in this time period based on the clothes, based on the...
the locations and the homes and everything, even though, I mean, it only been 40 seconds into the movie and a minute into the movie, the modern dialects. Oh. I'm like, what's going on here? I mean, they went to great lengths to show that it's this different era, but then they use these modern voices and accents. It's very anachronistic. Not a fan. Not a fan that totally took me out of the movie immediately.
I don't know why we couldn't have just put on a little... And there wasn't even any southerness to the accent at all. Yeah, there was no southern accent at all. I was expecting a little accent at all. Which would have been, again... the whole time it would have been appropriate i would have just preferred a live-action princess and the frog movie giving me all these elements but not giving me the elements that i want yeah so
They did have a little bit of an animation, which they turned into and faded into like a drone footage that went straight into that Christmas morning moment. Well, do they have, do they have Christmas lights in the 1920s? Did you notice that there were like Christmas lights on? I don't know. That's why I was confused. I saw the Christmas lights and I thought, oh, like this is modern time. But then I saw what they were wearing.
oh this is not or these people are just weirdos i honestly i i was just assuming this was like some alternate universe like this is I don't know. I tend to not have that high expectations for remakes like this. And so I'm just like, whatever. I'll take it however it is. All the same, whatever.
Well, so then they like they had the drone shot going through the window. And I what I felt like everything is like super quick with this movie. It's like we're moving from the plot point to the plot point because we have to. And they have the classic. Oh. They didn't do one of my favorite lines. Oh, Jim, dear. It's the one I was admiring, isn't it? Trimmed with ribbon? Well, it has a ribbon. So, I...
I love that scene. I think it's awesome. And they pull out the hat box and there is a cute little dog. that just has a big old bow around her neck. And she's so cute. So cute. And I will say, I love this scene so much that we got a dog for Christmas this year. And I went to great lengths to find a big box like that. A whole bunch of them at Hobby Lobby all along a wall.
oh nice they didn't have the pink this one kind of has like pinkish colors so i couldn't find a pink one but they had a you know very classic christmas color so i got that and i put a big old ribbon around the dog's neck
And then Christmas morning, I put this by the tree very early on. Like, oh, yeah, there's a big present in there. Don't touch it. The kids just thought there was a present. And then Christmas morning, we had the dog with us. You know, Christmas Eve picked her up from Chelsea. I might. Oh, yes. Yes. amazing friend who watched the dog for a day during this weird transition period where we can't have her at our house.
so so cute i had her in my purse she's so tiny just this little puppy that's like oh so cute and i took her to a thing with my i had an outing with my family and so we were out and about and we were standing in this big long line to like take pictures or something and there are these little kids right next to me and they're like what's in your
back and like the bomb is like what are you showing them and i was like it's a puppy and then it shifted from this like uh what are you crazy lady doing with my kids to oh my gosh that dog is so cute yes so we surprised the kids with a mini aussie doodle so half australian shepherd half poodle and her name is
Darla and she is black and white. She kind of looks like the Border Collies from Babe. She has that sort of look and she is so sweet and I love her so much. We couldn't do Lady. I mean, we weren't really on board with Lady. but with another cute name. Speaking of darling, Darla. Oh, I love it. And yes, the whining dog night one thing is a thing where you put them in their little spot and they were.
She was fine with me. I don't know what you were doing. What were you doing wrong? I don't know. I don't know. You're the dog whisperer for sure. I put her next to Montana the next morning and Montana was just like, no, I'm not dealing. And she's so much smaller than like any other dog that has been around Montana. Montana's 70 pounds. Like she's large. And so she's, yeah, it was just really funny. Cause she's like, I'm not, I'm not dealing with this. The youth.
I'm not dealing with this. You know, and so we kind of hop into things. I think they really kind of rush the moments of the beginning of the movie where we're seeing things from a dog perspective. And this is something that I think is just. It's either a Miyazaki thing or just a non-modern American studio thing where we're able to just enjoy the moment. There's not a lot of rushing that's happening. In the old, in the 1955 version,
The Sunday routine with the paper and the donut and her sitting there and she's really just loving her life. Just the two, just the three of them. And I felt like that was really missed in this one. I didn't really get a sense for lady. and how she just really was just savoring her world where she would jump out. She'd bark at the dog. She would get the paper. She'd bring it back in. She'd lay on the floor. She'd eat her little donut. And this one just like rush, rush, rush, get it done.
We jump into and I initially I thought, oh, this is going to be kind of cool because they're not talking. So we're really going to how are they going to be able to do this from a perspective of everything that happens in Lady the Tramp? But. They're going to have to do more character animation like Wallace and Gromit with Gromit, where, you know, the facial expressions and just the situation is going to have to tell the story or even like in flow, which.
did this perfectly well with no speaking. So I thought, wow, this is, this is cool. Like, I'm going to love this. And then she goes outside and she meets Jock. Well. Jacqueline and trusty. Jacqueline. Was that her name? Her name was Jacqueline. Jacqueline, yes, yes, the Scottish version. And then they start talking and then I start seeing the CGI. talking of the dogs and i'm like it was not good
Oh, yeah. And that was one of the sad things. As I had listened to the interview with him, it's like that was one of the main things that they were talking about, how it was different with... the Lion King because the Lion King, most of the animals aren't as domesticated as a dog is. And you look at a dog and a dog actually has quite a bit.
of emotion and emoting in their face and how they act and react but it's not as it's not nearly as much with them and so he was just like i just feel like it wasn't fair because you know that's you're looking you're trying to make it look real and that it just would have made it look not real and i'm like it's supposed to be an animated movie that's what you're going with that's not real but anyway the point was is like they
They took real dogs and they had real dogs on set for this, but they then superimposed this face on them, which I did not like. I just didn't like it at all. It didn't work. I don't like it. The dogs were moving around in certain scenes. And for example, there's one scene where we get the backstory of Tramp. Totally unnecessary. And...
The family abandons him and the dog is running there, stops, looks up, licks his face because he's a dog and then kind of like stares at the camera. And I think they were like, oh, that's great.
keep that in because that's like what dogs do and that's what the dog did but based on the severity and the intensity of the moment like why would you just I didn't it didn't anytime the dogs talk it just was major uncanny valley i mean is there really a version of a dog talking that isn't the uncanny valley but dogs don't talk but i mean even babe like babe had
like animatronic type things but it still looked better it did yeah such a shame because they really he really was doing everything he could to make this work and to do the best job that he could with it but that a hard pass on the cgi talking animated dogs it immediately took me out of the moment anytime they were talking i was like oh i had a hard time like
am I looking at a real dog? Is the whole thing fake? Like I was just immediately focusing on the dog and like the mechanics behind it. Yeah. So yeah, I was, yeah, same thing. and uh the yada yada everything about the first half of the movie and now it's like very early on like okay she's pregnant where before that's something that
Lady has to figure out and all the introspection of a dog's life and just seeing the world through a dog's lens is not there. One of the most iconic things from the original film is that it's shot. low at a dog's perspective and the majority of time you never see the faces of anybody of the humans you know Mr. Darling they don't they don't show it from her perspective as in let's have her look up and we'll see the humans like
from one foot from the ground where a dog would see you. But it's like, instead of the camera being at this position, facing horizontally out, we're going to drop it down and shoot it where the dog is the star. If you're you're cut out of scene because you're too tall and you're human, too bad, you know. And so that was a really unique thing that we see and we get to see get close into the ground and the dirt and the bushes. And and, you know, we see. Yeah, it.
And that introspection of Lady just being a dog and figuring out a dog's world and learning and adapting to what's happening with the baby. You know, she's like figuring out what what is the baby, you know, and finally when the baby comes, you know. what is a baby do do do do do do whatever that song is that one's not in here yeah and uh i missed that a lot because it was like nope yeah that's not really important let's just like get to this part well and i think it was i don't know the the the
the human characters also took me out of the story because there were a lot of things that were, I felt disingenuous as well as just like, didn't make any sense story-wise. Like for example, the. The didn't make any sense story-wise was the fact that you have Aunt Sarah coming in and saying, here, I'm going to buy this very priceless vase for you because your husband obviously wouldn't be able to afford it.
because of his job and then the darling's like you mean as a musician and it was just like what not once throughout the entire movie does jim dear do anything musical whatsoever and the entire time if there is any music playing it's darling singing and so it's just like okay you're gonna throw that out there just to like emasculate him i don't
understand. And then that was the other part that I felt was disingenuous is, okay, they're moving everything down and into Georgia. And, and I think the criticism of the Jim Crow self is fair, if you're going to be if you're trying to make this something, but it's like, okay, if that's what you're trying to do, then make it an all black cast and make Jim dear black. But no, you don't want to, because what you don't like black men.
okay, you're going to put a white man in there, but the white man cannot be, he must be a bumbling fool.
and therefore i don't think it's even just white men or black men that you don't like i just think you don't like men and there were multiple points in here where it really just it kind of hammered in and like once you see it you can't unsee it like there's several moments where there's it just like let's just let's just cut at jim deer a little bit let's just take him down a peg you know it's like Jim Deere wasn't even like a part of the story. Like.
the original movie it was about lady and the tramp it was about the dogs and you never saw the faces they just showed they were just kind of auxiliary to them even though it was her world but it wasn't like it wasn't part of the story other than you know picking her up you know yeah they did have very traditional roles and he went to we saw him leaving and coming to work i don't think we see him do that once
No, because he's a musician. Awesome. And then, like you said, there's the moment where she's singing La La Lou, or maybe you didn't say this, La La Lou. And that's like the moment where you sing. lullabies to babies for those who don't have babies or have ever had kids like you sing lullabies to babies when you know they're they're fussing and you want to get them to bed and or just like you're putting them down and he's sitting there in the rocking chair watching her do this work
Which is obviously the mom's work, you know, not say that men can't, but typically, you know. Well, I mean, the baby also had the reason why is there is a physiological connection to the mother's voice. Right. And so.
especially well and if you're breastfeeding you know like you're that closeness there is like you're gonna be feeding the baby you're gonna be seeing the baby you're gonna be putting the baby down he's just sitting there like watching this show not that she's breastfeeding but she's just you know i just thought it was a very weird moment i'm like anyone who's had kids even if it's just one
Like if someone's putting the baby down, you do everything in your power to get out of there. You do not want another person chilling, you know, check it out, watching the baby go to bed. Like you go and you get you be productive. You go do the dishes or you do something because this is a moment.
where someone's taking care of the baby and you can do something else it was just really fun I don't know is this like the moment the baby was like just born and so like everyone's all goo goo eyes over the baby like okay then I guess I would give it a pass but Yeah. That's the only thought that I had is like, it must've been this very early on within like first days, also first child. So, Oh, everybody's Google. But something that they don't have, which is a moment.
always loved in the original is the baby shower scene. And it shows the dichotomy between the men and the women. No, it did have this. They did? Yeah. Oh, okay. That was where they had the. the men in the one room and the women in the other yeah all the men were upstairs and they were just like oh yeah there's gonna be screaming and there's all these things and then the kid will make noise too it was just like okay but it was yes
So they had all the men upstairs doing their thing and all the women downstairs. So I like that guy. I've always liked that in the original. I thought it was cool to see the differences, you know, the men smoking the cigars and the women, you know, just chatting about what's coming.
they were both there at this to you know most baby showers it's just a women's affair but right i like saying back then i was like oh it was a big party for everyone i did like that i wish that that was something more of what would happen today
Only just because it's like, oh, that's fun. At least everybody's joining in together. And that does seem like everybody has more of a. a well of friends and like other people to rely on i feel like it would build more of a community as opposed to just her her friend's friend I don't know. I feel like if this were done more today, where both go and then hang out in their perspective areas, then it would create more of a support system for both sides. But anyway. So then we get Tramp.
And we're introduced to him. Life is a tramp. Vagabond. Just doesn't have a home. He goes from place to place. You know, he gets the bones from, you know, he gets his breakfast here. He's like, where do I want to have breakfast? But did he say that in this one? But that's very much a moment I remember from the original. But I didn't really feel anything for Tramp in this one. I don't know if I didn't connect with the voice actor or just how he was portrayed.
in meaning like the scenes that they put him in but it just was kind of like and then he eventually meets lady the dog didn't wasn't very cute i'll just be honest no he was he was definitely a I think it was a schnauzer mix, but like a taller sort of schnauzer. And he just didn't have the charm of, yeah, of the design of the original Tramp, which, you know, was a shame. He was like, really.
you know, ragged looking. Right. And so he meets Lady and he says this line like right before he leaves, you know, it's the classic line when the baby moves in. The dog moves out and he has this charm, this suave, you know, that he's just, I know street starves. I know exactly how this girl goes, little lady. And he just tromps away in the original. And this one, he had the line. I'm stealing this, by the way.
i just thought this is so dumb like we understand he's a tramp he's gonna steal things and it it just i don't know it was unnecessary just have him take the bone and walk away and have them do nothing they grow the the
high-class folks can't do anything about it. They're going to stand there slack-jawed. That would have... Because they're just shocked that someone would steal something from them, right? That's one thing about this movie is there's definitely a classism that's explored in the original. And I didn't feel that at all here. I don't feel like the glass between the tramp and her was there's no moments where they're trying to talk lady out of it.
Like when she falls in love with him and like her friends, me and Jock and Trusty are like, oh, you know, like don't stay away. You know, you're too good for him. If you like this life, you really shouldn't go down that path. I feel like the classism was very much erased as far as like the dogs. I mean, it was talked about as far as like, oh, you're a street dog as opposed to being a house dog. And, you know, and it was just.
It wasn't explored, like you were saying, but it was said. So I just think it wasn't done well enough to mimic the first. the original yeah and romance films that have classism can be you know books as well can be classics you know Romeo and Juliet which is one of the greatest ones there's Titanic I think of Aladdin a little bit obviously Lady and the Tramp
And yeah, I just I think this would be one of the top ones when you're thinking of a movie that explores romance as far as different classes of people or creatures in this case. This would be one of the top ones. Yeah. You know, this is the first time that she is exploring this and she's talking about it. And then, yeah, it's just.
Because everything goes so fast, we don't really get to feel like the moment where she gets the license. That's a big, big moment because she's finally reached a certain age.
and milestone and she gets to show that i am a registered dog of the city and i get to wear my shiny new collar on my or shiny new tag on my collar it's a big big big deal and they just like hey you got your license they go off the next thing so they kind of just yada yada over a lot of the points that we maybe would have spent five minutes on in the original well and i think it's less that we would have spent more time on it i just think that they
the dialogue was written in a very different way in that movie where it wasn't as much and then this one it was almost more sitcom-y and they were trying to make it fit with the with the um speaking beats of what a sitcom would be and so it would be much quicker and you're adding a little bit more in there and a lot more talking as opposed to what how it was approached in the original but yeah and then you know the baby's here baby's here baby
speaking of wicked ah yes oh so then very quickly they move on to aunt sarah who they're going on a trip and aunt sarah comes to watch the baby but then they kind of have this like weird tricking of aunt sarah to get her to watch Lady. It's like she doesn't know that Lady's there. You're going to watch the baby and then she's surprised to find out that they get to watch Lady 2. Did you catch that?
yeah well and in the original they didn't do that like she was she was very much aware like there's this dog and i don't care i'm going to ignore this dog and i'm going to be with the baby yes yes it's gonna be 100 baby obviously a human would do that
You know, she's obviously a little bit more on the villainous side and treating the dog incredibly poorly. And, you know, I can understand non-dog people having zero tolerance for dogs. You know, there are people that start out as like very much dog parents and then they have their own kid and you're like, oh.
Yeah, this is the priority. And the dog really falls to the, you know, number two on the pecking order. And that's what this movie is teaching you. And so, you know, then especially if it's not your dog.
maybe and you didn't love dogs in the first place you couldn't care less and so i feel like that's aunt sarah in the first movie like this thing go outside into your dog house and i won't see you for the next week um they bring in the siamese cats in the original and this one they change them i'm not sure what type of cats they changed them to but yeah they definitely had to get rid of those guys
you know, the depiction of Siamese singing, which was, which was Brenda. Was it Brenda Lee in the original or Peggy Lee? Peggy Lee. Peggy Lee did many of the songs from the soundtrack. She wrote the main title, which is the Bella Notte piece on Earth. She and Sony Burke wrote La La Lou. They also wrote Bella Notte. They wrote He's a Tramp. And then, yeah, those are the main songs that they wrote from the original.
pretty cool i didn't really uh consciously know that she was one of the songwriters for this but yeah we can't have that so instead we have just like a nothing burger of a song that they replaced instead which is called what a shame And it's performed by Wonder and Gian Arthur. It's a replacement. And just like in the original, the cats are here and they're there and we never see them again. And that's a disappointment in the original. That's like.
there should have been maybe more tension there or they should have had more of a role than let's sing one song create some problems for lady and then we're away you know right right but they they don't explore that further or make their characters richer. Basically, we're going to swap out the Siamese cat. Like, so could have been a Siamese cat. Are you going to change the voices? Nope, nope. Like, this is Disney. We have to pretend all of this isn't a thing.
Right, right. And so they do. Let's change history. Let's fix the things that people have criticized us for. So we're not doing that again. Well, which in 2025, they now have finally the... Reimagining Tomorrow program, which wasn't initiated until 2021. It was this like big program. Like we are going to go back through all of our history and all of our parks and any of our products and anything that's problematic. We are going to.
take care of it we're either going to erase it we're going to get rid of it we're going to change it and so that's why on disney plus you have these obnoxious warning trigger warnings are like yeah like warning saying hey this shows depictions in an un in an unflattering light of people and
they were all different it was on before aladdin it was before pinocchio or not pinocchio it was before um maybe it was pinocchio but peter pan and it was you know and this one for sure uh jungle or i think aristocats had one you know, because of the Siamese playing cat. And now.
They've said, OK, we're getting rid of those. Now it's just going to be a little in the description section. We're going to have like a little one line thing just saying like, hey, this shows the different depictions that were which fine. I would rather them just get rid of it entirely and let me decide.
Yeah. But I appreciate that they got rid of that because it was so annoying. You couldn't fast forward over it. You couldn't autoplay it. It's like, okay, I have to sit here for 15 seconds and I have a toddler be like, wait, movie, movie, poo bear, poo bear, poo bear. Not that poo bear was ever problematic. Never poo.
But like, OK, hold on. I'm trying like these these kids that are used to instantaneous. They don't understand. They don't understand the problems that we had with the DVD screens. VHS. Yeah, VHS. No, no, no. VHS had the ability that you could just hit fast forward and boom. You'd have to wait. But some of the DVDs and Blu-rays had these like sneaky functions where you tried to hit menu and be like, cannot do this function. And you're like, OK, well, maybe it's top menu.
You push top menu. Oh, not that fun. You're like, what is the button that's going to bypass this? Eventually you find it, but... Yes. Anyways, I don't think that it's a terrible thing to have a acknowledgement of like, hey, you know, a lot of these were written under different pretenses than and it's like, yeah, these are.
I don't actually have a problem with that, like with the acknowledgement of it, how you put it in. Yeah. It gets annoying. Like, okay, yeah, I get it, but it's, I don't, I don't think that's a bad thing. I think that.
as a society, you know, it's like, yeah, you should be aware of specifically, you know, you can also see different reasons why at different times when, for example, the a country was at war with another country the people from one country would always be depicted as the villain you know and so it's just like i can see how a lot of that can be propaganda but at the same time it's like
it's I don't know when you care about one thing but you don't care about another thing and it just feels disingenuous so that's where I'm getting off yeah I'm I'm on the fan of or I'm on I'm on the fan whatever that means I'm on the side of yes there are things that problematic that are problematic but if you start going down this route you have to start putting it on everything you're going to put it on before every single book that every single movie every single and it just becomes
so much that it gets out of control so just get rid of it all and trust people that they're going to be able to you know have parents that teach them or they're going to do research or just society in general is going to have them watch this movie and they're going to say oh that's kind of weird
you know, and make their decisions from there. So that's where I stand on it. Because one of the worst offenders of this was I was watching on HBO or it was, yeah, HBO Max. They changed the name. Now it's just called Max.
And I was watching Gone with the Wind. And there was a 10-minute thing of someone that was lecturing me on Gone with the Wind and the history. And I'm like... what is this crap just let me see crappy scarlet and all of her bad decisions i don't want this and so uh that was really frustrating to me and oh well
Anyways, so let's go back to this. A re-education moment for you. Yeah, I feel like this is, like, they get to this point, so... the jim darling and jim jim dear and darling have left and the cats have destroyed everything and now sarah is obviously it's not her babies of course her babies wouldn't be the ones okay
fault yes i one of the most interesting characters was aunt sarah i thought aunt sarah was really funny when she first walks in and she puts on the phonogram and she starts singing terribly and i thought that was a really funny moment
I was like oh I like this Aunt Sarah I really like the Aunt Sarah from the other one but I like what they were doing with this Aunt Sarah and then she's like done yeah very quickly and also after the whole thing like we're just going to be bouncing around because it's oh yeah connections uh but after the whole you know where she takes lady and lady leaves and now she's the jim dear darling have come back and they've completely shut this woman out of their life and it's like
That just seems really extreme for the moment. I mean, I get it. I would be upset as well, but like slamming the door in her face, it was just like, oh, I mean, strong boundaries. Okay. Yeah, they took different... different deviations with the script on this one that made me kind of tilt my head and go okay i a lot of it was with like you said the empowering of darl mrs darling over jim dear um
that was notable. And then how they treated aunt Sarah, like in the original, I mean, she was terrible to lady, but they never kick her out per se for what happened. But yeah. And one thing I noticed, when Aunt Sarah takes Lady to a pet shop to get the muzzle, this guy... I need a muzzle. It's wrong. I think of the original answer. That's a great quote. Clearly this guy had no experience muzzling bad dogs because the way he does it is just.
if you knew that this dog potentially had bitten a child or you know had the ability to the way that you put the muzzle on you would be holding the snout of the dog and you're putting it on and and obviously lady gets away after this and i was like no this guy's never this must be first dan's job because he's not buying it he was trying to give her a squeaker toy like he knew that i was like they did you not think i thought they had those back then
so then she meets you know she meets tramp and i for me there's nothing appealing suave or charming about him in this like epic date and no beavers Yes, no beaver. That was something that I clearly missed because I... i would and i i okay they don't want to have to get a beaver in the beaver someone has a trade beaver somewhere everything i get that okay but It works swell. Oh man. Yeah. I, I just, they go on this epic day long date.
marathon date. And honestly, he didn't even win me over with that. They kept laughing and bantering back and forth, but there was never a suave moment where I liked him. yeah yeah i'm like oh i i could see this like i i like him for you but in this case it was just kind of fun little banter that doesn't that wasn't really like a romantic or anything but i don't know how did you feel about the bella no taste the spaghetti the classic i do think it was i think afi listed it the most
the original like the one of the most romantic scenes in all of cinema you know with the the nose of the meatball right eddie and the song it's very memorable um this one i thought was just weird just because it was like
in the cartoon in the animated version you're already like suspending belief that everything is happening and so the fact that Tony comes out and it's he's talking to me okay he's talking to me but like you had in this one it's like you had a Mexican guy at the stove and an Italian guy at the the top which i guess is you know probably more true to form like in some areas i don't know in the 1920s 1920s per se but like it was clearly spanish that that guy was 20 sure
Yeah, not Italian. Yeah. And so it was just like, but they. They kept saying, oh, we're packed. We're packed. Come on now. But they were going to stop just for these dogs. That was weird. They should have said, it's a slow night. Yeah, sure. Yeah, let's get my accordion out.
Right. If it's a slow night, I totally understand why you're just like, whatever. You know, the fact that they made it be like, oh, we're packed inside. Don't come today. You know, I was like, that's not going to be a thing. Yeah. The romance. wasn't quite there for me i didn't like fall in love with this scene um but you know i really liked the guys they had play uh tony yeah is it luigi the other guy but i liked them i thought they were great
And then we get Trump's backstory. And this is a classic thing that I, a trope that they do in these live action remakes. Like, okay, we need to either there's. criticism of the original. And so they want to get ahead of that. And we see a lot of that in the beauty and the beast. Yes. Like we need to know more about this character. Why is the character the way that he is? So we have the beast backstory and the song.
And this one, it's okay. Well, we need to know why he's a tramp and why he acts the way he does. Even though, I mean, I, I don't feel that he's acting any certain way that, you know, but he has this line. I had a home. I had it all. And I love them.
And then one day something changed and it shows just the family abandoning him. Like, which is really sad. Like really, really sad. But at the same time, I think you didn't, I don't think that you really needed that. I think all you had to do was, oh. you do know how it feels and then just leave it and then your imagination is like oh okay but i mean the fact that they need to have a home
Because in the original, it's implied he never had. Yeah, I don't think so. I don't think he needed to have a home. So he was just a totally other world, other class. Right. Because he was a street dog from the beginning. And this one, it was like, no, I used to be like you. Oh, okay, okay. So now maybe this will be a little bit more societally acceptable. Right, exactly. Yeah, no, I don't think so. The dog catcher.
They really amped up the dog catcher in this. And initially, at first glance, I was like, wait, is this Jack Black? I thought that Nacho Libre was making a return. But nope, it was someone named Adrian Martinez. I looked him up and he seems to have done a lot of Spanish language stuff. And he was funny. I liked him and I thought he was pretty good, but very, very over the top and give him a lot a bigger role than.
Then obviously in the original, the original is kind of this faceless dog catcher who's just him alone, just seeing his uniform and the cart that he drives around and the net. Like that's enough to instill fear in the dog. Right now we have to have the goofy guy. Yeah. And can I just say that was the most diverse dog pound I have ever seen. And I have gone to the dog pound, multiple dog pounds within my area.
multiple times over my lifetime and i have gotten multiple dogs from the pound and like they're never full of every type of dog one of each kind yeah like you had a saint bernard in there you've got a german shepherd you've got all these things it's like man so much choice dogs that are so rare nowadays like when's the last time you saw saint bernard in the wild right or like in the original it's like the afghan i think that the afghan
yeah the big tall one who's yeah kind of looking guard and then they have the chihuahua digging or no the dachshund that's digging the holes you know yeah so well yeah typically now you got like either pitbulls or pitbull mix probably what like 80 of what you find in there yeah yes it is like when i got my dog the main reason why i got her was well what i was looking for specifically was short hair because i had just had i had a
my previous dog had long hair and it was like every time summertime hit, it was, you could pack a pillow with how much hair that dog shed. And I was just like, I can't do it again. I just can't. So. i went with a short hair dog but it was like even just finding her that like everything that was in there was a pitbull mix and i have nothing against pitbulls like personally i feel like i bought my dog
Because she was my dog. But yeah, it's very rare to have that much assortment. Yeah. And this is why I say I only ever will have a non-shedding dog.
yeah and or that's why the oodle is something that i will typically always do unless it's some other sort of breed that doesn't shed but yeah you always got to get the oodle in there because yeah i can't do the hair around i just i don't i barely keeping up on life and still having to keep up on dog hair i know i i'm not i can't do it so bless you chelsea bless you
Well, she does shed, but it's like, it's short. It's like, she's a German short hair pointer. And so it is very short. So it's like eyelashes.
yeah when they're there so it does it's not nearly as bad as it would be if it were white long hair you know it's just like uh i have a hard time with it but yeah it is a it is still something you have to keep up with so you know then they we have this back to the family section it was weird i thought that was like the editing of that moment was weird it was just like okay now we're
It was hard to tell was this supposed to be a long period of time because there were multiple activities that happened within a very short period of it. I mean, it just it just seemed like this should have been. a tell that this you know months later but then literally she goes outside and shock and trust you're like oh welcome back from the pound so yeah like the editing of it just didn't make sense yeah and this is the moment where really they they do a bigger deviation from the original
where they're back. Whereas in the original, the rat scene happens while Aunt Sarah is there, which is kind of scary as a parent for something like that to happen to your child while they're under the care of Sarah. Yeah. And so then it's just like, everything's great. I'm part of the family. And so then we're having, you know, to have this plot line of Tramp coming back to say sorry. It just kind of feels a little.
I guess I mean she's already back she's she's free back with the darlings there's not any conflict there's nothing that he owes her she owes him you know whereas before it's oh you know i'm sorry and she's on a chain in the backyard yeah and she's able to see yes exactly like there's consequences or what happened and he's able because she's chained down able to
jump on in and save the day and this one they're like nah it's it didn't have the stakes that's the thing all the things that had like there were high stakes they just we don't need that and they dropped it you know, jumping ahead with trusty and the sense of smell. They mention it. Oh, great. That's cool. But in the original, there's so much time and shock.
and discourse about sense of smell yes yes for a dog like this is like a shocking thing and they're keeping the secret from him and it has the payoff at the end when He's able to try to track the way and they're like, oh, no, this isn't, you know, but then he does. And then he sacrifices himself. And it's really sad. Right. And we don't have that for this big scene. You know, it's it's lady.
Jacques isn't even there he's not breaking his leg even then you know fine that's fine if you don't want Jacques to do it or not Jacques I keep saying Jacques trusty okay that's fine it's like Tramp's gonna get hurt and he get like marginally hurt he fell out of the dog carriage but he didn't sacrifice himself to get hurt and yeah it was like okay as as a iconic as the first
and that's the problem when you're making these films like I hate that like I'm analyzing this movie and I keep referencing the original but this is derivative it's a derivative piece of film and so I obviously am going to be referencing that in my mind. And how are you going to build upon this? How are you going to change it? And a majority of the changes, it's just they were diminished. They were thrown away. So it doesn't have the same impact.
Yeah. And then the whole, the fact that, okay, they get, they get.
the tramp they put him he puts him in the in the cart and they're going off with the horses and and then trusty goes after but trusty he just he loses his his guts you know he loses his gusto and and doesn't believe in himself and it takes jacqueline to come in and say no you can do this like it was just so much once again if you once you see it you can't unsee it of like yeah dumbing down men and males in all of these things and then there's the moment where you had the actual dog catcher like
barges into their house and Jim Deere just kind of like, oh, okay. And then he's walking behind him and Darling like slaps him on the ear and he's like, ow, like these are moments that you would, I guess. these were tropes during like the 90s you know and it just became a thing where it's so ingrained into people's minds of like treat them in like they're dumb kind of thing and it's just it it rubs me the wrong way
I don't like it. In the dog catcher scene at the very end, you know, the mom is, they have the baby with them on this grand chase. And she hands the baby off to the husband and she gives this inspirational speech. And he's just sitting with the baby. It's like, girl power. Yes. And I'm like, ugh. And I'm like, why is this about you? And stops the horses. And it's just like, why are we doing this?
There were no moments where like, this is a moment for lady where she would have to, I guess she feels bad. And so that's why she's willing to sacrifice it. But. no it's that's the thing is like they want to make lady the the girl boss in this and trusty can't save the day no a lady has to save the day it's like what like it's a bloodhound
That's what he does. I don't know. There's, I don't know. I feel like if there would be fine, you want to do that. There maybe should have been a moment where like all the dogs were running and lady is the slowest of them because she's like small or whatever. And then, you know, it was like.
She's never going to win these sorts of races. But then, you know, because of the love that she has for Tramp, you know, maybe she could overpower the other dogs. She takes a shortcut because she learned from Tramp. Yes. Being on the streets, you know, like that's the kind of thing you would want to see. Not that uses the street smart. Yes. Like that's something that she could actually do as opposed to like, I had, I had a burst of adrenaline. You can Google it. Like, no. Google it.
yeah so there's all these moments where it's like this whole thing does not make sense and then no we actually own the dog we're the dog has a home yeah yeah the dog has a home with us just like okay all right yeah that's the end of it yeah and then they go home and and she's she once again she's the one that starts singing again i don't there were so many parts of this movie that just you put in
that just didn't make sense and it didn't it didn't add and it just made me scratch my head so well speaking of things they didn't add that they took away was no puppies at the end Well, they're not their puppies. They are the pound puppies that get adopted by Jacqueline's mom. Yes. That's like the neighbor. I don't care that they're dogs. Right. Well, we have to control the pet population. We can't have mangy half-breeds here, Morgan. Get your pet spayed and neutered. Thank you, Bob.
i just yeah there's just a lot of these things that they're they are trying they are neutering the film uh they're trying to make it you know that so nobody can judge it at all in here because because of that all i can do is judge it like yeah so well my last my last thing as they're doing yet another grown shot away from the darling family She's singing. She's rocking the baby while singing. The baby's not even crying. The baby just appears to be chilling there.
And I don't know if you noticed, but she is rocking like she is on a boat side to side. Like she's doing some sort of hip hop dance. She is rocking that baby. I'm like, whoa, there is no need when you're sitting in a chair.
to be like rocking where you're going from one side of the couch to the other. You should go back and watch it because it was really odd. As someone who has rocked babies, I'm like, what's going on here? Baby's not going to like that much rocking. It was just like very... clearly either this was a doll or she never really rocked a lot of babies or some erection that she was given like give it a good old rocking around the crib tonight
Oh, man. And another thing I missed, the Disney chorus. I love myself a good old fashioned Disney chorus. I needed it so bad to end this up. But no, they really wanted this Miss Darling to sing. and she's fine but apparently all of the singing was live so that was okay at least there's live on set or live yeah okay which is like so
thing to do now, which I didn't enjoy it at all in Beauty and the Beast. One of my favorite videos is all about why the singing in Beauty and the Beast, the remake, does not work. I'll include it. uh by good old sideways who stopped doing videos because of all the copyright strikes and there's on the internet like people were taking his videos just recreating them basically for word and he kind of got frustrated with it all and i get it but
I love that video. I said this to everyone. Anytime generally anything comes up about singing in live action remakes, I'm like, you need to watch this video. You need to be informed. Right. well and it's also like uh the guy wings of pegasus where he goes through and he shows how much all of the songs everywhere are being auto-tuned yeah and Both. And so he does a really good job of having different graphs that you can see all of the sound waves.
not not just sound waves but the actual tones being mapped out and to show you like how flat they are and i'm watching this as a as an audio engineer who has used pitch corrected correction in many things like it's just like yeah you don't ever do it like that right oh man they snap a note to the line where it's just like perfectly held to the night to the line for a second or however long the song is or even just like a millisecond
And then you flip to someone singing naturally. They'll go to Julie Andrews is a great one. I love that video of his. I'll include a link to that as well. But where there's natural variations. Even when you're holding a note, maybe you start a little bit sharp and then you hit the note. Or maybe if you're a Julie Andrews, you're on the note, but there is a little bit of wave, you know, as you're doing a little vibrato, you're a little up, you're a little down. That's like the...
That's what makes us human is this ability to become as close to perfection as possible while not quite being perfect. Everyone is doing it. So everyone is just doing it because that's what their competitors are doing it. That's what the industry standard is. It's frustrating because. Once you hear the autotune sound, and it's just subtle. It's so subtle. You hear it everywhere. Yes. Like, I'm going crazy right now. Yes. Indeed. Indeed.
All right. So any last thoughts, things that you were thinking about as you were watching this? I just, I would like to talk to a... a director like charlie bean and i would not be talking about all of the animation do you hear my dog i did i was wondering i'm like what's this bubble popping noise in the background screaming like chasing something and so she's got this sound i see here let me
She's chasing something. What movie is that where they're dreaming? Oh, it's Lady of the Trap where Trusty is dreaming about his old pound dog dating. Exactly. That's exactly what she's doing.
Yeah, she's absolutely chasing. Hey, baby. Here, let me. Sorry, I'm going to have to wake you up. And she's still fast asleep. Okay, well, yeah, I'm... i think the thing that i would like to ask a director like charlie bean is nothing about animation nothing about like even the actual directing of it but it's like when you come across these tropes that are just like so irksome i find like why do you keep them
Like, why do you promote them and continue them? So that's the one that I would like to know. Like the whole, you know, you can just tell that every little thing is, you know, bumbling idiot men. And I'm just like, why are we doing that?
like you're a guy why are you doing that yeah i just that's something i don't understand and i would like to i would like there to be some discussion on this like are we just following this because it is i think it's just a trend i think it's a trend in film you think that it'll be funny because somebody else has done it and it seemed kind of funny it's a simpsons you know homer simpson kind of thing
you know, make the guy be an idiot. I don't know. I don't know. So that's a thought. But other than that, yeah, that's the only extra thought that I would add. All right. So what would you rate this film? I'd say three, three stars out of five. I mean, I, I didn't feel like it was particularly. terrible. There were a lot of things that I was thought that I didn't enjoy, like the animation on the dogs itself. I didn't feel like it was at all what the original was.
had not even the slightest comparison as far as like charm goes um there yes you could say that is a lot of nostalgia goggles but i think also just it's just easier to believe So I liked the original so much better. But this one on its own, just as I sit and watch, it wasn't bad. And it wasn't something that was particularly something.
I think that anybody other than yourself and I and other people who would be into these things would notice all of these things. They would just accept it as it is and be like, well, that was fine and then move on with their life. I'm going to give it two and a half stars for me. It just kind of felt which many of these live action remakes feel like to me, they're just putting on the skin of the original film.
and putting it over a live action film and seeing, you know, wearing it around thinking we won't notice or it's going to be close enough, but it's. very scary looking and not normal. Right. And I, there's like moments where it's like, Oh, okay. They're, they're trying to do this. They're trying to do that. But it, the CGI dogs, not so good. The story, I felt it was too fast. All of those really intimate moments.
of seeing Lady in her dog world and finding her place in this posh dog world as being one of the dogs that has an owner and like upper class, if you will. And then... And contrasting that with Tramp and what he has to go through and how he survived and the clash of both of them meeting together and falling in love. That just felt so rushed to me. And I didn't really.
I didn't like Tramp. I didn't relate to him. I didn't think anything cool about him. That lady, she seemed very indifferent to him for the majority of it until it was like, oh yeah, they're supposed to be in love now. That's kind of how I felt about this. It's just kind of indifferent. It was something to watch. And I'm glad that I watched it just so I could have a more informed view. But it was really what I was expecting. Nothing great. I think if they really would have pushed it with either.
two ways they could have done this either no dialogue and force themselves as storytellers to how can we change this and share what we need to share without dialogue it can be done or Just do the homeward bound thing where it's just the voiceover of the dog and the person. And you don't have to mess with any sort of uncanny valley CGI talking dogs. Okay. No snow buddies here.

Okay, this is a very side note, and I'll move this to the bloopers. But in the inauguration, there was a moment where Carrie Underwood, she was the one singing God Bless America.
something happened and the sound person did not have a backup plan and like it was supposed to have she did it acapella but it was supposed to have some kind of a background noise or background audio that played with it but also like you had a live band there as well so it's like you didn't even have there was no connection as far as like backup plans but she
as a as a professional singer should do had her own plan of okay i'll just sing acapella and just singing acapella did very well but i kept seeing around all of these youtube like thumbnails being like it was a miracle that she was able to do this and i'm like no this was how horrible that our society has like fallen if doing your job is a miracle.
