A Disappointing Continuation

A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

This is my favorite movie when i was a kid, and now i just love it too, this movie is so good, if you are a kid obviously you go enjoy more, but watch this you provavly go like, i watch that movie before i watch the first. LOVE THIS MOVIE

I know most Disney Sequels are awful and this one was just a bothersome to sit through.1. The old characters we loved from the first movie are dull and pushed to the side for the new characters. The new characters are annoying and one dimensional. Nothing about these characters stands out. Scamp is an annoying puppy, Angel has a past but that's still not very interesting, the villain Buster is just awful, the other dogs are idiots and the dogcatcher isn't funny so he's just obnoxious.2. The story is basically the same lesson from the first movie. Stay with the people who care about you because they matter the most basically. This movie does the same except with irritating characters so instead we're stuck in a rehashed story from the first movie but is done worst.3. The villain in this movie is awful. First, why do we need a villain? Didn't the first movie prove that there isn't a need for a villain? The rat was just acting like rats do, the cats were being mischievous like most cats are, the aunt was just trying to take care of the baby and the dog catcher was just doing his job. Second, we don't need so tedious villain because the filmmakers think that this movie would be too boring if no villain is established.4. The songs aren't that impressive. The love song is so cliché, the family song is pointless, that welcome home song was unnecessary and the villain song is just annoying. At least some of the songs in the original were good like Bella Notte, The Siamese Song and He's a Tramp.Yes I know I compared this movie a lot to the original but maybe I wouldn't have to if it wasn't trying to be like the original. They did the same thing in the Little Mermaid 2, why did they do that? Just stick with the original while eating some Bolognese spaghetti. You'll have a much more memorable time. You don't have to like my opinion but I don't have to live your movie.

Many of the Disney Direct-to-DVD releases feel like they're stretching the source material way past what it was meant to be. Did we really need a sequel to "Cinderella," "Peter Pan," "Beauty and the Beast," and other classic movies that ended with the phrase "…and they lived happily ever after?" These sequels should carry a tag line reading "… But theeen…" "Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure" is one of those movies. Revisiting it because of the recent Blu-ray release reminded me how gratuitous it feels throughout a short 70-minute running time. Lady and the Tramp are the proud parents of three female pups and a scrappy dog name Scamp who has inherited a wild streak from his father. When his chain breaks after being sent outside for tearing up the house, Scamp runs off and meets the Junkyard Dogs. Seeking their approval, he goes through the leader's initiation process to become a member of the group. Could a spunky young pup named Angel help change his mind about wanting to live on his own away from his family? The life lesson is definitely "front-and-center" in "Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure." Everyone needs to be part of a family. Another lesson Tramp gives Scamp is that you're always welcome home because family loves you no matter what. These are great lessons and do need to be emphasized. However, I start to wonder as I'm watching this movie how many orphanages or broken homes the producers of this movie have been to lately. This isn't a bad movie by any means. The story is well-written and the voice cast performs wonderfully. The weakest points are the songs. They're bland and lackluster. If a Disney film is going to have musical aspirations it has a lot to live up to in the shadow of "Snow White," "Aladdin," and countless others. Parents will find the "Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure" needless. Their children will no doubt embrace it as much as they did the original. I'd say they have another success on their hands since that's why Disney makes these sequels. Just don't expect older fans of the original to feel the same way.

If regarded as an independent feature I can't say it's too bad at all but from where I'm standing this sequel and the original "Lady and the Tramp" don't agree with each other! They are two completely different movies with different style, different voice personalities, different narratives and about the only thing that they share with each other is the visuals (e.g. the town-house of Jim Dear, Darling, Lady and Tramp) and none of those have changed.If you're seeking any kind of continuity years after the release of the original for those memorable songs like "Bella Notte" and "The Siamesse Cats Song" this sequel won't give you any at all! Just about every song has a little pop to it and those good old characters like Jock and Trusty, Jim Dear and Darling and Aunt Sarah and her cats may well be seen but they're seeming to be somehow replaced by new characters, not to mention Peg not appearing at all, whose voices are quite annoying. Even Lady and Tramp don't appear often enough and as for Scamp?! He is so spoilt! And treats his father Tramp with utter disrespect, then runs away with no remorse even after hearing how much he's being missed at home! And they called his shameless getaway an adventure! I'd say Scott Wolf truly brought out the abusive bad boy in Scamp wiping out the typical cute Disney animal. Even the old characters just drive you mad in this; Trusty sounds like Goofy sick in bed, Jock (Jeff-stupid-Bennett) - and his VOICE - sound neither Scottish nor worth hearing! Zap him off as far as possible to free our poor ears from his voice and as for the dumb, feather-brained, EXASPERATING JUNKYARD DOGS!!!!!! Somebody put them down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"Lady and the Tramp 2" isn't completely bad if you're not already having a tough day but I expect a lot more charm from a sequel to a true classic - Scamp is chavvy, so is his girlfriend Angel and there is a feeble storyline. Still, I think you should try it at least once because, as I say, there are much worse movies around.
