Para começar, iniciaremos com um filme que mexeu com todos nós na mais antiga infancia que podemos pensar, A DAMA E O VAGABUNDO. Não aquela nova versão remasterizada que ninguem consegue identificar os personagens porque trocaram a voz dos dubladores, mas sim aquela versão antiga, de 1955, produzida para VHS e que tinhamos em casa junto com a nossa "Coleção Clássicos Disney".
"Gerações de fãs se apaixonaram pelo 15º longa-metragem de Disney - uma aventura fantástica recheada com maravilhosas canções sobre Dama, uma adorável cocker spaniel e um cachorro das ruas, Vagabundo. Como um dos mais maravilhosos clássicos da Disney, A Dama e o Vagabundo traz uma fábula encantadora que vai conquistar todos que compartilharem sua magia.

"Peggy Lee later sued Disney for breach of contract claiming that she still retained rights to the transcripts. She was awarded $2.3m, but not without a lengthy legal battle with the studio which was finally settled in 1991.
The first feature-length animated movie to be made in widescreen (2.55:1). Made simultaneously in both a widescreen CinemaScope version and a standard Academy ratio version. It's also the widest film the company has ever created.
"Darling's" real name is never used, even her friends call her "darling" at the baby shower. It is unclear if that's her name or an endearment.
Before animating the fight between Tramp and the rat, animator Wolfgang Reitherman kept rats in a cage next to his desk to study their actions.
In the 1999 video release, some scenes had pieces of dialogue missing that had been part of the original theatrical release. This was believed to be caused by the studio restoration process that incorporated both US and international formats of the film, which inadvertently created a hybrid version. Disney often produces different international and foreign versions of their films to make the foreign dialogue fit.
The 1962 re-release of this film was shown on a double bill with the first release of Disney's Almost Angels (1962).
In early script versions, Tramp was first called Homer, then Rags and Bozo. A 1940 script introduced the twin Siamese cats. Eventually known as Si and Am, they were then named Nip and Tuck.
Peggy Lee helped promote the film on the Disney TV series, explaining her work with the score and singing a few numbers.
The film's opening sequence, in which Darling unwraps a hat box on Christmas morning and finds Lady inside, is reportedly based upon an actual incident in Walt Disney's life. After he'd forgotten a dinner date with his wife, he offered her the puppy-in-the-hat box surprise and was immediately forgiven.
A model of the inside of Jim Dear and Darling's house was built as a guide for staging.
The decision to film in Cinemascope was made when the film was already in production, so many background paintings had to be extended to fit the new format. Overlays were often added to cover up the seams of the extensions.
The original story was created by Joe Grant while Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was nearing post-production. Ward Greene used Joe Grant's original version as the basis for his novel. Greene's novel was still being written while the film was still in production. Grant's wife was said to have been angry over the story being "stolen" but Walt Disney maintained all legal rights to the story.
The film's setting was partly inspired by Walt Disney's boyhood hometown of Marceline, Missouri.
Walt Disney read Ward Greene's story, "Happy Dan, the Whistling Dog" in Cosmopolitan magazine in 1943 and eventually hired Greene to include the Dan character in the film during the pre-production stage. But Greene wrote and published an entirely new story "Lady and the Tramp; the Story of Two Dogs," which became the source of the film.
Disney's 15th animated feature.
To maintain a dog's perspective, Darling and Jim Dear's faces are rarely seen.
The background artists made models of the interiors of Jim Dear and Darling's house and shot photos from a deliberately low angle to simulate a dog's eye view of their world.
The Beaver character was effectively recycled as the Gopher in Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (1966), right down to his whistling speech pattern. This voice was originally created by Stan Freberg who had a background in comedy voices. The demands of voicing the character proved too much, however, so Freberg eventually resorted to using a real whistle to capture the whistling effect.
In 1937, story man Joe Grant approached Walt Disney with some sketches he had made of his Springer spaniel called Lady. Disney really liked the sketches and told Grant to put them into a storyboard. However, Disney ultimately didn't think much of the finished storyboard. Six years later, he read a short story in Cosmopolitan by Ward Greene called 'Happy Dan the Whistling Dog'. He was sufficiently interested in the story to buy the rights to it. Then in 1949, after Joe Grant had left the studio, his spaniel drawings were unearthed and a solid story using his designs started to take shape. Grant never received any acknowledgement for his contribution to the film until the Platinum Edition DVD in 2006.
As the story was being developed at the studio, Ward Greene wrote a novelization. Walt Disney insisted that this be released some two years before the film itself to give audiences time to familiarize themselves with the plot.
CinemaScope presented some new problems for the animators. The wider canvas space made it difficult for a single character to dominate the screen, and groups had to be spread out to keep the screen from appearing too sparse.
As the release date neared, Walt Disney was dismayed to learn that not all theaters were equipped to show a film in CinemaScope. Consequently, another version of the film had to be made, this time in original aspect ratio.
At the time of its release, this was the highest grossing Disney cartoon since Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937).
A dream sequence where giant dogs take their owners for walkies was scrapped because of adverse audience reactions.
The studio's first officially self-penned story since Dumbo (1941).
Hiring Peggy Lee arguably was the first instance of a superstar voice being used for an animated film.
Walt Disney originally didn't want to include the 'Bella Note' spaghetti-eating scene, now one of the most iconic moments in the whole Disney canon.
Barbara Luddy was nearly 50 when she voiced the young Lady."
