Live-action remake of Disney's 1955 animated romance between a pampered Cocker Spaniel named Lady (voiced by Thor: Ragnarok's Tessa Thompson) and a streetwise mongrel named Tramp (Justin Theroux, The Spy Who Dumped Me).
Picture a chocolate cake. You know exactly what it tastes like and if you eat just enough, you’ll feel satisfied. Eat too much, though, and the sugar overload will make you question if you’re eating actual food. That’s Disney+’s Lady and the Tramp for you. Running almost half an hour longer than the original, this sickeningly sweetened remake is less of a film and more of an item for window-shoppers.
Full reviewThe best thing the new 'Lady and the Tramp' has going for it is being on Disney+ where there's a lower bar to giving it a shot.

Cynics might assume this means that Charlie Bean's film is the runt of the litter. But the movie is middle-of-the-road rather than bad - hard to hate and harder to love.

It's perfectly fine though also, perhaps, pointless, if not a slap in the face of the glory that was 2-D cel animation.

Lady and the Tramp works well enough on its own simple terms as watchable, competently made home viewing.

Probably the dullest to date of the live-action (or quasi-live) remakes of beloved Disney animated films... further explores the limitations of having real (or digitally realistic) critters stand in for the talking animals of yesteryear.

All of this doesn't add up to the warm alchemy of a Christmas classic, or a holiday movie you'd go out of your way to watch more than once, even if it is streaming.

Suffice it to say that even on a smaller screen, attributing anthropomorphic qualities to photoreal fauna remains a Disney stumbling block.

Our carbon-based hero couple transform into computer-generated chimeras every time they open their mouths...Lady and the Tramp might take a different route than The Lion King, but it winds up in the same depths of the uncanny valley.

Watching Disney's live-action remake of Lady and the Tramp bears the familiar feeling of settling -- sinking into a spot that is uncomfortably comfortable with the full, conscious knowledge that you could be spending your time better.
