One of the remarkable things about making an animated sequel is that actors don't age. It took Disney 46 years to make a sequel to its 1955 hit Lady and the Tramp, yet the events of this made-for-video sequel take place only six months later. Lady and Tramp are getting along fine with their human family, the Darlings, and they have four new puppies. The three girl puppies take after mom, the boy, Scamp, has a lot of dad in him. Scamp dreams of "being a real dog," and that means living on the street as a member of the Junkyard Dogs. Despite his dad's warnings, Scamp (voiced by Scott Wolf) runs off and goes through the trials of a mutt, including run-ins with Junkyard leader Buster (Chazz Palminteri); the dog catcher (Don Knotts); and a fellow stray, Angel (Alyssa Milano). The formula here is the same as other Disney direct-to-video sequels The Lion King and The Little Mermaid, and the justification to return to a classic movie is flimsy at best. To its credit, Disney has made a quality effort in the animation department, adapting sets and characters from the original with great success. But the story is never engaging, the songs are forgettable, and the impact unsustainable (and at 62 minutes, quite trite). Nevertheless, a Disney kid should dig Scamp's rough-and-tumble adventures and the cute tale of puppy love (Scamp and Angel even revisit the Italian diner). The purist: beware. --Doug Thomas

 Yes, cartoons ARE included! July 5, 2010
Hank Zangara (Washington DC)
First, to correct some of the other postings here: Even though it doesn't say so on the box, the 2006 DVD reissue of Lady and the Tramp II in fact DOES contain the same three Pluto cartoons that were on the earlier 2001 DVD release, including "Bone Trouble" (with the terrific Hall of Mirrors sequence!)
Secondly, this film is a lot better than most reviewers here believe. It's unfair to compare it to the original, or any major theatrical release. Let's compare apples to apples, and see how it stands up to other Disney direct-to-video Classic sequels, because that's what it is. (Fantasia 2000 and Return to Neverland don't count because they were made as theatrical releases with more time, care and budget.) Of the true direct-to-DVD films then, L&T2 may not be as popular as the Little Mermaid, Lion King or Beauty and the Beast sequels, but it has many powerful elements that make it a "keeper."
The classic rich look and gorgeous animation are completely faithful to the original. The design of the new characters falls perfectly within that original style, convincing us that they inhabit the same world. The background art is similarly detailed and evokes nostalgia, and the background music is similarly lush and wistful. In short, it is a viscerally believable extension of the original film. Unfortunately, this is NOT the case with all Disney sequels!
In L&T2, there are some beautiful moments when the picture moves beyond the level of plot into pure inspiration. Among these are the "World without fences" sequence, the legend of Tramp besting twelve dogcatchers, and the railroad trestle chase.
And I love the concept of the story taking place before and on the Fourth of July, a lovely turn-of-the century day of picnics and parades. It is this context that brilliantly underscores the conflict of Scamp declaring it his own day of independence, only to learn the importance of inTER-dependence of a family.
And the fireworks offscreen create flashes of colored light to dramatically illuminate the final fight scene between Tramp and Reggie in the Pound (prison). Again, beautiful and inspired. The film also includes some nice Miyazaki-influenced CGI work, notably the dogcatcher's wagon.
And for the record, the dogcatcher is NOT voiced by Don Knotts, but by Jeff Bennett doing his best Knotts impression. After all, who would be a better model for the skinny inept dogcatcher than Barney Fife?
Watch it again with an open mind, and be prepared to be entertained!

 Opposite attract January 23, 2010
Michael Patrick Boyd (Waukesha, WI)
Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure is one hour and ten minutes long and was released direct to video on February 27, 2001. Lady and the Tramp II is basically an opposite of the original Lady and the Tramp. The film picks up six months later were the original ended. Lady and Tramp are settled and now proud parents of four puppies of their own; three daughters and one son. The three daughters take after their mother and Scamp is a junior carbon copy of his dad. Tramp has grown accustomed to house life and has lost a little of his street wise smart. Scamp is a young pup who wants to be free with no rules, no baths, and no leashes. After Scamp gets himself chained to the doghouse for getting mud all over the house, he sees a bunch of dogs, with no collars on, running around in the street and mocking the local dog catcher. Scamp eventually breaks from his chain leash and goes searching for the dogs. Scamp runs into Angel and she introduces him to the Junkyard Dog gang. The Junkyard Dog gang is a group of stray dogs who are led by Buster. Buster is a mix of Rottweiler and Doberman pinscher. Buster was once Tramp protégé and the two of them had a fallen out when Tramp fell in love and decided to become a house pet. Buster is unaware the Scamp is Tramp's son. Dogs of the Junkyard Dog gang do not think Scamp is cut out to be one of them because he is a house dog. Buster decides to put Scamp through some tests to see if he is worthy to belonging to their gang. The first test is to try to steal a can from a giant Bullmastiffs dog named Reggie. Scamp is almost successful until he knocks into a trash can and wakes up Reggie. Reggie gives chase and winds up getting capture by the city dog catcher. With the exception of Buster, the other Junkyard Dogs are grateful of what Scamp did. Afterward the dogs head to the park and it is there that Scamp learns that is his dad was once a street dog. It later that evening at the train station that Scamp and Angel begin to fall in love. The next day is Independence Day and the gang is back at the park. Buster is able to piece together that Scamp is Tramp's son. Buster set up a test to force Scamp to confront his family. Scamp must steal the family chicken and that mean Scamp must go up against his father. Scamp is able to steal the chicken but is given chase by Tramp. Scamp runs into an alley where he thinks he has evaded his father, but Tramp is able to out smart him. Scamp tries to leave but is unable to open the gate. This gives time for Tramp to talk to his son. Scamp tells him that he knows that he was once a street dog. Finally Buster and the Junkyard Dogs catch up with Scamp. Buster and the dogs try to convince Scamp to join them while Tramp tries to convince Scamp to go him with him. In the end Scamp join the Junkyard Dogs and a life on no rules and freedom. As a last sign of defiance, Buster removes Scamp's collar. Back at the junkyard, Angel is upset that Scamp has decided to join the Junkyard Dog gang. This makes Scamp up set and he accidently reveals that Angel wants to become a house pet. Angel runs out of the junkyard and Scamps gives chase. Meanwhile Buster has some unfinished business with Scamp. He sees his opportunity to get even with Tramp for leaving the gang. He allows Scamp to get captured by the dog catcher and a hauled away to the pound. Angel sees Scamp being hauled away and runs to tell Tramp about it. The two run off to the dog pound to rescue and later save Scamp. Scamp is thrown in the same cage with Reggie and Reggie wants his revenge. Reggie is able to break free of his chain, but before he is able to do anything to Scamp, Tramp jumps into the cage to save his son. Scamp is hurt while trying to help his dad to defeat Reggie. Tramp is able to defeat Reggie and father and son reconcile their differences. Scamp returns to the junkyard to reclaim his collar and give Buster the last word. Scamp, Tramp, and Angel arrive back home and Jim Dear and Darling adopt Angel. Unlike the original movie, Jim Dear and Darling now have faces to go with the rest of their body. In the original movie the front of their faces were never shown. Also missing from the movie is its most memorable song: Belle Notte (This is the Night). That song is only song at the end of the credits. This movie was just a lame opposite copy of the original. Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure gets a C-.

Package = good/ Quality of movie = poor. December 10, 2009
K. Bradford
The condition of the disc and packaging was as advertised, but the movie itself wasn't terribly good. Unfortunately it suffers the same flaw as most sequels; falling short of the original masterpiece. The entire movie comes off as a bit silly and juvenile which is a common trait among most Disney movies produced in that time frame. Most people will complain that it is a children's movie, it is supposed to be like that. But lest we forget, Snow White was a children's movie. Sleeping Beauty, Lady and the Tramp, Beauty and the Beast. All children's movies, but they weren't ridiculous. They taught lessons in a fashion that didn't require cheap jokes and weak plotlines. The condition of the package was excellent, and unfortunately, far exceeded the quality of the package contents themselves.
 great DVD for everyone October 26, 2009
Pam-ma (California)
I received my Lady and the Tramp II DVD in perfect order and very quickly. I would definitely buy from this seller again. As for the movie, it speaks for itself...awesome family film.
