Lady & The Tramp Coming Soon To Home Video
Disney have announced to tie in with National Spaghetti Day, that in February, Disney’s cherished animated classic, “Lady and the Tramp,” joins the highly celebrated Walt Disney Signature Collection. Every member of the family will treasure this timeless tale—loaded with three versions of the film, classic bonus material and three all-new features—when it heads home on Digital and on Movie Anywhere Feb. 20th and on Blu-ray on Feb. 27th.
The Walt Disney Signature Collection edition offers three exciting ways to watch “Lady and the Tramp”—the original theatrical version, sing-along mode and Walt’s story meetings—both Digitally and via the Multi-screen Edition (formerly the Blu-ray Combo Pack). The Multi-screen Edition includes Blu-ray, DVD and a Digital copy, giving in-home consumers the flexibility to watch the film on different devices.
In addition to classic bonus features, all-new extras invite viewers to enter Walt Disney’s original office suite on the Studio lot, discover Walt’s personal passion for pups, and receive a celebrity-hosted spaghetti and meatballs cooking lesson.

Will you be adding Lady and the Tramp to your collection?
I’ll probably grab it on sale at some point. I have fond memories of this one since my grandmother had it in her collection and we watched it whenever we visited. The version of the film with Walt Disney’s story meetings overlaid sounds interesting, too.
