Good concept, poorly executed.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
You know how you're a kid who loves those animated films? That's me. Even one of my favorite animated movies was this as a 7 year old. I'm 16 now, and I still admire this movies effort to continue the adventures, but mainly on the pups' lives rather than the Lady and the Tramp. It's where those writers kind of mess up, but I don't care. As I think this movie is admirable, it's still good in a way. Lady and the Tramp II is one of those sequels that everyone believes flopped upon first release, but serious filmmakers, like me, can look further into the core of this film, and see where it's good, and you can also tell where its flaws are.
Much of the Disney sequels do not compare to the magic, charm and imagination of the originals and this one is no exception. When you're watching these sequels, sometimes you are left missing the original even more because. even though there is a little bit of nostalgia, the sequel doesn't bring back the quality of the original.Yet, for this movie, there are some memorable characters, great animation, charming songs and a quick-paced plot, where we get to see Lady and the Tramp's son Scamp, tired of rules he has to follow at home, yearn for the out yonder life and decides to join a carefree group of junkyard dogs.There is really nothing original in the film and the two title characters, Lady and the Tramp, are not in the movie much. The plot is rushed, which made little room for character development. However, the chemistry between Scamp and Angel was somewhat nice, and the overall family importance theme is touching.Overall, this film is nice for the kids to enjoy, but adults would probably stick with the original.Grade C+
Many of the Disney Direct-to-DVD releases feel like they're stretching the source material way past what it was meant to be. Did we really need a sequel to "Cinderella," "Peter Pan," "Beauty and the Beast," and other classic movies that ended with the phrase " and they lived happily ever after?" These sequels should carry a tag line reading " But theeen " "Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure" is one of those movies. Revisiting it because of the recent Blu-ray release reminded me how gratuitous it feels throughout a short 70-minute running time. Lady and the Tramp are the proud parents of three female pups and a scrappy dog name Scamp who has inherited a wild streak from his father. When his chain breaks after being sent outside for tearing up the house, Scamp runs off and meets the Junkyard Dogs. Seeking their approval, he goes through the leader's initiation process to become a member of the group. Could a spunky young pup named Angel help change his mind about wanting to live on his own away from his family? The life lesson is definitely "front-and-center" in "Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure." Everyone needs to be part of a family. Another lesson Tramp gives Scamp is that you're always welcome home because family loves you no matter what. These are great lessons and do need to be emphasized. However, I start to wonder as I'm watching this movie how many orphanages or broken homes the producers of this movie have been to lately. This isn't a bad movie by any means. The story is well-written and the voice cast performs wonderfully. The weakest points are the songs. They're bland and lackluster. If a Disney film is going to have musical aspirations it has a lot to live up to in the shadow of "Snow White," "Aladdin," and countless others. Parents will find the "Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure" needless. Their children will no doubt embrace it as much as they did the original. I'd say they have another success on their hands since that's why Disney makes these sequels. Just don't expect older fans of the original to feel the same way.
I thought that this is a wonderfully written movie. I love little Scamp, and the street-wise Angel. This movie is very easy for little kids to understand, but a good movie for adults as well. I liked this movie because it continues the original Lady and the Tramp, and that movie is a classic. Lady and the Tramp 2 Scamp's Adventure was filled with new characters, catchy songs, brilliant animation, and unforgettable classic characters. I have loved the movie ever since I saw it for the first time. I also loved how they showed the different personalities of each character. It also shows the downfalls and good things of making new friends that you can hang out with. My favorite song in the movie was Always there because it showed the different characters sharing their views on how they feel. I definitely recommend this movie for everyone that was a fan of the original Lady and the Tramp.
