Lady and the Tramp (1955) Parents Guide: Is the movie OK for kids?
Age Rating, Sex, Violence & Language
Lady, a golden cocker spaniel, meets up with a mongrel dog who calls himself the Tramp. He is obviously from the wrong side of town, but happenings at Lady's home make her decide to travel with him for a while.
Rated G • 1955 • 1h 16m
A pampered house dog and a streetwise stray form an unlikely bond while navigating various dangers in their local neighborhood. The film is rated G and suitable for ages 5 and up, featuring only mild peril involving a rat and the threat of the dog pound. Parents should be aware of a dated ethnic caricature during a musical sequence involving two cats, though the movie otherwise focuses on gentle themes of loyalty and romance.
