Film background
Originally released in 1955, Lady and the Tramp was Disney’s 15th animated feature and its first produced in widescreen CinemaScope. The story of Lady, a pampered cocker spaniel, and Tramp, a street-smart mutt, quickly became one of Disney’s most beloved romances. Iconic moments such as the candlelit spaghetti dinner and the song “Bella Notte” remain cultural touchstones. By the mid-1960s, Disney re-released the film to Japanese audiences, where its charm and artistry found a new generation of admirers.
Poster design
The 1965 Japanese re-release poster features large-scale illustrations of Lady and Tramp against a bright green backdrop, complemented by supporting canine characters along the lower margin. The bold title “わんわん物語” is displayed prominently in stylized Japanese typography, alongside the CinemaScope logo, underscoring the film’s widescreen innovation. The playful yet elegant artwork captures the warmth of Disney’s animation while appealing directly to Japanese family audiences of the era.
