DVD Reviews of Lady & The Tramp II - Scamp's Adventure
DVD Review: DOWN WITH THE FALSE DISNEY-TRIs!!
Summary: 3 Stars
Alright, I'm back and I've rented it. And the verdict is--well, not all bad. Not GOOD--not by any means--but not all bad.
First off: the plot was okay. It wasn't solid, and it doesn't stand up to any sort of scrutiny, but had this been a stand-alone and not a cheap-quel, it might have worked. Maybe. The story was cliche. The tough girl is really a softie and she helps the naive guy. I KNOW it's cliche, but I love that cliche. It's too bad they didn't pull it off well. The characters made constant contradictions of themselves. This thing might have worked if Scamp HAD actually been "kind and decent", or if Buster really DID think that "Buster's trouble is Buster's trouble". "But, hey, it's a kid's movie! It doesn't need PLOT!" Yeah, right!
Animation: The norm for these Disney rip-offs is that the clean-up is nice, and a couple of seconds of animation are nice, with lots of inbetweens to fool the consumer into believing that this is quality animation. Well, this followed suit, with a lot of sudden action and acting that didn't really help any of the character development or establishment. Oh, and there were bad 3-D effects, as well. No, wait--by "bad" I only mean "really, REALLY OBVIOUSLY not hand-drawn". They might have been nice in an all 3-D movie, but they were horrible against these hand-drawn backgrounds.
Third, if you're going to make a cheap-quel of something that's already MORE than resolved enough, at least stick with the original in SOME REMOTE WAY. Okay? I mean, they tried--they replicated the backgrounds and layout--but they didn't bother with the most important things like personality. Tramp, after 6 months (in movie time), had had a complete personality transplant! He turned from the cocky, charming rogue into the preachy, overbearing, unskilled father. Lady lost any life or spark she once had. Because, of course, moms and dads don't have ANY personality of their own, right? They're just "Mom" and "Dad". Right? Wrong! I mean, yeah, there would be some adjustment for Tramp in a family, but he NEVER got mad in the first movie. He was so relaxed-sounding and charming! Sure, the replacement voice had the same kind of sound to his voice, but all the cockiness and whimsy of the original voice was gone and he just sounded--I don't know, FALSE.
The thing that they lost the most, however, was the relationship between the people and the dogs. In the first movie, the dogs were really DOGS. Yeah, they had some human action (e.g. talking), but you could TELL that they were dogs because
a) the animation kept enough dog action/anatomy in these clearly human actions--i.e. characteristic dog lips and teeth, even though the dog is talking; Tramp rolls over laughing at Jock and Trusty
b) the way they thought of humans was inherently doggish--calling the man "Jim-dear" and the woman "Darling"; running out to meet Jim-dear when he came home, etc.
So, this movie really only deserves two stars. DOWN WITH THE FALSE DISNEY-TRIs!!!
Description of Lady & The Tramp II - Scamp's Adventure
Guaranteed to work or your money back - PLEASE NOTE ALL MONIES FROM THIS SALE GO TO A 501 (C)3 NO KILL ANIMAL SHELTEROne 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
