Customer Reviews of Lady & The Tramp II - Scamp's Adventure

FROM TRAMP TO SCAMP; MY DAUGHTER LOVES IT!!!!
"LADY AND THE TRAMP 2 - CAN WE GET IT? CAN WE GET IT?" My six year old daugher COULD NOT WAIT for us to buy this long-awaited sequel to the popular Disney classic - so, of course, we did! SO,DID SHE LIKE IT? Did she lIKE it? NO. She LOVED it! I kid you not; she is absolutely CRAZY about this movie! It's already been played too many times to count, and we have already been subjected to her "pretending to be Scamp" - a sure indication that she REALLY, REALLY likes a movie! WHY DOES IT APPEAL TO HER SO MUCH - AND WHY WOULD IT PROBABLY HAVE APPEAL FOR OTHER KIDS? Well, to answer this, first allow me to qive a "quickie plot summary: In Lady and the Tramp 2, Scamp (Tramp's mischevious offspring) is sick and tired of living the "cushy" housepet life. He longs to be FREE; free of annoying rules, like: DON'T MAKE A MESS IN THE HOUSE! (Are you starting to get a clue as to why this movie will appeal to kids)? Anyway, so he "breaks free" of the leash that binds him, and runs off to join the "junkyard dogs" - where he falls in love with Angel - a cute pup, who ironically, longs for a home of her own! KID APPEAL: I think my daughter just really relates to that whole "freedom of rules" idea, which this movie explores. Of course, the movie DOES have a happy ending (hey, it's Disney, right) so you don't have to worry! MY FINAL WORD ON THIS SEQUEL: There are those who will claim it's "not as good as part one" blah, blah, blah. Well, guess what? Kids don't care! And I really believe that's who this sequel is geared for: The little ones (not us big ones)! Although I must say, they emulated the artwork from the original house and characters quite well, and I was impressed by that! Yes, the movie is somewhat predictable; somewhat silly - but kids love that! I would definitely recommend this movie for all families with young children (ages 4-10), and parents, try to keep your overly-discerning ADULT opinions about it, to yourself!

Scamp wants to be a Junk Yard Dog
Movie Summary: Tramp and Lady have settled down and are raising a nice little family. They have three little girls who look and act just like Lady and one little ruffian boy named Scamp who takes after his dad. All the trouble centers around scamp who is bored with being a house dog. He thinks that things look so much better for the stray dogs that live at the junk yard. The first chance he gets, Scamp runs away and joins the junk yard dogs. There he makes a friend that helps him see how things really are and just how good he really had it.

My Opinion: Being a straight to video release, I didn't have very high expectations for this film. Usually that's a signal that the feature isn't up to par. But in Scamp's case we were very pleasantly surprised. We are Disney fan's, but not to the point of liking something just because it is Disney. Scamp's Adventure had a descent plot that stuck together to the end, one which my 4 year old daughter could follow and enjoy. The songs weren't bad either. The lesson that is taught is a good one. Family is important and you are lucky to have people who love and care about you.

DVD Quality: Wide Screen Anamorphic with DD 5.1 audio. Both sound and Video were very good. There were enough special features to satisfy my daughter who has become a special feature junky. They include a couple of older Disney short cartoons, some games and more.

What You Should Do: Get this DVD if you've got Disney fans in the house. It's worth adding to the library especially if you have Lady and The Tramp. The kids will love it.

Rehashed and Pathetic.
Take the original, turn it around a little, and you get this piece of trash.

It's sad that this is what Disney has bent to - taking successful films, and turning them into lamed, limping sequels.

While children might find the story entertaining and adorable, their parents will likely find it lacking and a poor attempt to ride on the success of another film. It felt cheap and dirty to me, and like a formula film - which it truely is. Along with a rash of other "II" movies the plot goes like this: Protagonist of first film has kids. Kids face similar issues their parents faced - perhaps with some reversal of situations. Villian of last film is 'not really dead' or has some sort of successor that's pretty much just like them. Kids learn same lessons. The end.

I think it's one of the sad indicators of Disney's current attitude towards animation.
