Walter Elias “Walt” Disney (December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966) was an American film producer, director, screenwriter, voice actor, animator, entrepreneur, entertainer, international icon, and philanthropist. Disney is famous for his influence in the field of entertainment during the 20th century. As the co-founder (with his brother Roy O. Disney) of Walt Disney Productions, Disney became one of the best-known motion picture producers in the world. The corporation he co-founded, now known as The Walt Disney Company, today has annual revenues of approximately U.S. $35 billion.

Disney is particularly noted for being a film producer and a popular showman, as well as an innovator in animation and theme park design. He and his staff created some of the world's most famous fictional characters including Mickey Mouse, a character for which Disney himself was the original voice. He has been awarded four honorary Academy Awards and has won twenty-two competitive Academy Awards out of fifty-nine nominations, including a record four in one year, giving him more awards and nominations than any other individual. He also won seven Emmy Awards. He is the namesake for Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort theme parks in the United States, as well as the international resorts Tokyo Disney, Disneyland Paris, and Disneyland Hong Kong.

Disney died of lung cancer in Burbank, California, on December 15, 1966. The following year, construction began on Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. His brother Roy Disney inaugurated the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971.

The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) (commonly referred to as Disney) is the largest media and entertainment conglomerate in the world in terms of revenue. Founded on October 16, 1923, by brothers Walt Disney and Roy Disney as the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio, the company was reincorporated as Walt Disney Productions in 1929. Walt Disney Productions established itself as a leader in the American animation industry before diversifying into live-action film production, television, and travel. Taking on its current name in 1986, The Walt Disney Company expanded its existing operations and also started divisions focused upon theatre, radio, publishing, and online media. In addition, it has created new divisions of the company in order to market more mature content than it typically associates with its flagship family-oriented brands.

The company is best known for the products of its film studio, the Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group, today one of the largest and best-known studios in Hollywood. Disney also owns and operates the ABC broadcast television network; cable television networks such as Disney Channel, ESPN, and ABC Family; publishing, merchandising, and theatre divisions; and owns and licenses 11 theme parks around the world. On January 23, 2006, it was announced that Disney would purchase Pixar in an all-stock transaction worth $7.4 billion. The deal was finalized on May 5. On December 31, 2009, Disney Company acquired the Marvel Entertainment, Inc. for $4.24 billion. The company has been a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average since May 6, 1991. An early and well-known cartoon creation of the company, Mickey Mouse, is the official mascot of The Walt Disney Company.

Figured if I am going to collect dog books, and especially as I used to work at Disney (Corporate), that I should have this book. Cute story book for kids like the movie except without the singing.

"A baby is nothing but a bundle of trouble," said a husky voice. Lady whirled around to see who was speaking. It was a scruffy-looking dog she had never seen before. Why, he wasn't even wearing a collar!

Jim Dear presents his wife, Darling, with a pretty box on Christmas Eve and it contains a gorgeous cocker spaniel puppy. 'I love her,' says Darling, 'She's a perfect lady!'

So Lady settles in and when she is six months old she is given a new collar and name tag. Lady is undoubtedly the princess of the household and is convinced that she is the luckiest dog in the world.

But as summer approaches the Darlings play with Lady less and less and there is talk of a baby. 'Who is this baby,' Lady asks herself. A husky voice behind her suddenly declares, 'A baby is nothing but a bundle of trouble.' Lady turns to see a scruffy looking dog that isn't even wearing a collar. He introduces himself as Tramp but Lady tells him that she never speaks to strangers. However Tramp warns her that when a baby comes along a dog moves out.

Sure enough soft, cooing sounds eventually come out of the master bedroom and Lady discovers a new baby. And when the Darlings decide to go away for a few days they introduce Aunt Sarah, who arrives with a basket out of which are staring two pairs of blue eyes.

The eyes turn out to belong to Aunt Sarah's two cats, Si and Am. And they create havoc in the house but unfortunately Lady gets the blame and is shooed out. She wanders off and, on the other side of town, is attacked by some fierce dogs but Tramp is on hand to clear them off. Not only that, he takes Lady along to his favourite restaurant's back door where some food is provided for the pair.

They become friends and that night they sleep under a full moon. The following morning they explore but Tramp chases some chickens and when the owner calls the dog pound, it is Lady that gets caught. She finds herself behind bars but with having a name tag attached she is soon returned to her home.

Aunt Sarah then chains Lady up outside and she is so sad. And when night falls she espies a large rat going into the baby's room through an open window. She tries to break free to warn the household but is unable to do so. Fortunately Tramp is on hand to take charge and he soon pounces on the rat but in doing so he damages property in the lounge. Aunt Sarah comes along and shoos them both out of the house, calls the dogcatcher and Tramp is taken away..

Later the following morning the Darlings return and discover the dead rat and realise that the two dogs have saved the day. Lady is on hand but Tramp is on his way to the pound. Jim Dear quickly takes a taxi, chases the dogcatcher and gets Tramp released.

The pair then settle down at the Darlings and before too long not only does Tramp have his own collar and name tag but he and Lady have a family of four adorable puppies ... everyone lives happily ever after ... a charming tale beautifully illustrated in the typical Walt Disney style.

When you have children you end up reading all sorts of books - some good, some not so good.

This was ok-ish... but most importantly - my daughter liked it...

I'm not a fan of these books. No character development in these things. But the kids think they are fabulous.

The pampered Cocker Spaniel, Lady, is gifted a new blue collar by her cherished owners; however, she soon discovers that a baby is on the way, disrupting her established routine. A savvy stray named Tramp cautions her about the impending changes, and when Aunt Sarah arrives with her troublesome Siamese cats, Lady is unjustly blamed for their mischief and muzzled. Tramp liberates Lady and takes her on an enchanting night out, but upon her return home, she finds Tramp engaged in a battle with a rat that poses a threat to the baby. Tramp successfully rescues the baby but is wrongfully taken to the pound; Lady's friends rally to exonerate him, leading the family to recognize his bravery, adopt him, and ultimately live happily together, eventually welcoming puppies into their lives. The primary theme revolves around love that transcends social barriers, illustrating that genuine connections surpass societal status. Lady's transformation from a naive pet to a worldly companion reflects important life lessons, while Tramp discovers the significance of commitment. The narrative delves into the essence of family, evolving from the traditional bond between humans and dogs to a more inclusive family dynamic that encompasses both dogs and humans. Unlike pure fantasy, the story is set in a recognizable early 20th-century America, incorporating relatable class dynamics and environments. Lady's brave decision to protect the baby exemplifies her development and loyalty, which are fundamental Disney values.
Characters like Jock and Trusty contribute humor, wisdom, and a sense of community support. Vibrant illustrations vividly depict the stark contrast between Lady's comfortable existence and Tramp's rugged escapades.

I love this story and liked the way it was told in this condensed children’s book. My only issue with this original story is with the Siamese cats and how the stereotypes used with them aren’t racially or culturally sensitive.

I found the choice of having the male pups strongly take after the father, and the female pups strongly take after the mother, rather than have the children be a blend of the distinct breeds, quite amusing.

This version is short and sweet. They don't get caught and go the pound. It's happy go lucky.

It's honestly really funny to compare the actual contents of children's books to your childhood memories of them.

This is a perfectly ordinary condensed retelling of the cartoon, hitting enough of the big points (Lady, the baby, the Tramp, the muzzle, the fire, a new family structure) to make it feel like a complete story. Kids' imaginations really do flesh out the rest. I've seen the movie, too, of course, but I specifically remember there being a lot more to this book - probably a mix of the movie, the book, and my own imagination weaving a much longer and more exciting story.

It's a cute book, but there's not a lot of substance, and the art isn't outstanding enough to want to keep it. And clearly my mental pictures were a lot more vivid than the real thing, anyway.

This book is a classic story about two dogs from opposite sides of the tracks. It is a story that can teach children that even though people are different they still can like each other.
