Lady and the Tramp (1955)

Possibly a second viewing (first one may have been in the 70s or even in the late 60s).

A female cocker spaniel who lives at a middle-class house meets a street mutt and they fall in love with each other.

The fifties were a prosperous time, and the flipside of that was fifties' conservative ideology, which had cinema (not all of it, to be sure) and TV (practically all of it) as conscientious inculcators. Cartoons were certainly no exception, and this comes from a major company. It is artistically done, and, whilst scots are amiably made fun of in the guise of a schnauzer, a message is put through that freedom should be given up in favor of domestic life. Weddings and babies, that's the name of the game (that's the name of a movie too, a fifties movie, which I haven't seen).
