Thoughts on Lady & The Tramp II?

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

Lady & The Tramp II is a very interesting one for me because I only found out about it through my site's movie trivia game (which I had tried to bring over here, but it failed to launch) in which someone posted a screenshot from the film and someone else correctly guessed it, after which they went on a mini discussion about how fun and underrated the whole thing was... All while I was just "standing" there thinking something along the lines of: "Wait a minute... that looks fucking awesome" XD.

While I did think that the movie had quite the generic villain, I still maintain that it's way better than it has any right to be -- there's something about the way it was crafted, paced and directed that just worked, kinda like Disney's very own "Oliver & Company", but actually done right (and definitely much better than any Direct-To-Video sequel should be).

What do you think?

I remember Buster. and his line "Buster's problem is Buster's problem"
I hardly recall the story though.

They made a sequel? Is it on the same level as Lion King 2?

Depends on what you mean by that -- I sure liked it.

Most of the straight to DVD sequels I either don't like or don't care. This film I thought was okay, but I was 11 at the time. I have not touched it since then. The only sequels I care about are Lion King 2, both Aladdin sequels, and An Extremely Goofy Movie.

I did enjoy this movie although I prefer one because I like Tramp but in two I can where he come after being traumatized being capture by Dog pound this why he is stirct on Scamp.

It's...forgettable and it's probably just me, conflicts with previous material.

When I was a kid, I was weaned on reprints on Dell and Gold Key Disney comics. Scamp was a featured character in shorts and even had his own comic series. He also appeared in newspaper comic strips. He seems...different in the movie and conflicts with some of my memories. I think my problem was...at least in my head...why would he look for that much adventure when he already had all that and more (in the comic)?

I know neither story is connected but I can't decouple the two mentally due to the amount of material I internalized.

I mean is it one of the rare sequels that are debatably better than the original?

I'd say so, yeah.
