The sequel to the wonderful animated classic, "LADY AND THE TRAMP", is now available on dvd from BUENA VISTA.  While most "made-for-video" sequels are mediocre at best, this one's actually quite entertaining.  In this one, Lady and Tramp have their own family, consisting of three daughters girls and of course one adventurous son, Scamp. After running away from his home with other dogs, led by "Chazz Palminteri, he finds romance and adventure.
The romantic interest is another stray, voiced with enthusiasm by Alyssa
Milano.   There are more than a few dangers lurking about, least of which is the dog catcher, always "on their tail."  The story isn't too flexible in terms of originality, but it's still fun, and the animation is really
impressive.  

BUENA VISTA has presented this release with the proper 1.66:1 aspect ratio and 16:9 enhancement.  This is a terrific looking transfer!  There's incredible detail here!  Colors are extremely solid and as bright as they are, there's no oversaturation! 
 
BUENA VISTA has also offered the choice for audiences to select from either Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1!   While the soundmix isn't extremely aggressive, it has its fair share of directional and surround effects.  The differences between the Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks are subtle, but, as is typical, the "DTS" soundmix has a slightly better bass response.

"LADY AND THE TRAMP 2" is loaded with supplements.  To begin with, there's an audio commentary with Director Darrell Rooney and the producer/co-director, as well as the director of animation.   While there are some segments wherein their comments tend to drag, they're generally enthused about their work here, and the commentary differs from many other animator commentary by focusing more on the character  and story development than on the dryer technical aspects of animation.

A featurette, "MAKING OF LADY AND THE TRAMP 2-TRAMP TO SCAMP" offers some "behind-the-scenes" footage of the film's production.  This includes interviews with the film's animators, as well as some brief focus on the people behind the voices of the characters.

Our favorite supplement has to be "PLUTO SHORTS".  This segment consists of three short cartoons featuring Pluto.  1) Pluto, Junior   2)  Pluto's Kid Brother   3)  Bone Trouble All of these shorts are terrific and we hope that BUENA VISTA will release a dvd compiled just of "Pluto" cartoons.
