Let's start from the beginning.
--------
LADY AND THE TRAMP:
The first film is about Lady, who is given as a Christmas present by Jim Dear to his wife Darling. It shows the course of Lady's first months of life, and at the time she is six months old, she gets her own collar. She meets two dogs, a Hound named Trusty and a Scottish dog named Jock, along the way. Also, she learns that Darling is about to have a baby. Lady runs off while being babysat by a mean woman with two Siamese cats, and meets The Tramp, a happy go lucky mutt who enjoys the street life. Tramp removes the muzzle that the mean woman put on Lady's snout with a beaver, and Lady falls in love with him. They go out to dinner at Tony's restaurant, where they are served spaghetti and meatballs. The next day, while Tramp attempts to chase chickens with Lady, she is accidentally sent to the pound where she meets a singing pooch and other dogs. They tell her about other dogs that have been "put down" before she is sent back because she is too tidy. Tramp brings Lady a bone after he lost track of Lady while running, but Lady is upset about what happened at the pound. After Tramp shoos a menacing rat from the baby's room, the babysitter finds Tramp and calls him to the pound. Jock and Trusty go after the truck Tramp is in while Lady follows. Trusty and Jock stop the truck, but the truck has fallen on Trusty's leg, so he is passed out. Jock is worried about this, as Lady gets Tramp out of the truck and back home. So, during the next Christmas celebration, they have puppies, including one that is a key to the next film in the series, and everything turns out OK.

SUMMARY:
You can tell that this film is a classic if you are even smart enough to have a life. Lady is so freaking cute in this movie, and Tramp is sort of a good role model.
--------
LADY AND THE TRAMP 2:
The next film revolves around their son, Scamp, who runs away from home after feeling mistreated by the family rules. He meets up with a Pomeranian named Angel, who sees he's not prepared to be a street dog. She leads him to a junkyard with other dogs with radical behavior. Buster, a Doberman who looks like a great role model, informs him about the street dog life. He sets him up on a test to steal a food can from the menacing alley dog, Reggie. Scamp accidentally knocks over a trash can making Reggie wake up and chase him. The other dogs soon get chased as Scamp proceeds to run off. As Scamp is chased, he notes that Angel is caught by the dogcatcher, who is related to Don Knotts. After the dogcatcher puts Reggie in his truck, Buster is not pleased on Scamp's behalf. They arrive at a park where Buster tells Scamp that Tramp had betrayed him when he met Lady. Buster also gets the idea that Scamp might be Tramp's son. So, Scamp runs into a railroad track where him and Angel reveal to each other their secrets. Angel wants a family but can't seem to get one, due to owners having allergic reactions, babies, or moving issues. After escaping a fast train, Angel and Scamp flirt with each other, and go to Tony's to have spaghetti, just like Lady and Tramp. They stop at Scamp's house where Scamp tells Angel that he needs to be a wild dog so that he can be liked. The next day, Scamp is forced to steal a chicken from his family at the 4th of July picnic by Buster. Another chase occurs with Tramp and Scamp as they go to an alleyway to talk things over. Buster then appears and they try to decide who Scamp should end up. Scamp goes to Buster, and Tramp goes away. Meanwhile, at the Junkyard, Angel scolds Scamp for making the choice to stay with Buster instead of stay a house pet. Scamp then tells Buster that Angel wants to be a house pet, and Buster kicks her out. Scamp is very upset as he searches for Angel. But, Buster calls on a bulldog named Francois to guide the dogcatcher to Scamp, who gets caught, sadly. Soon enough, Tramp and Angel get him out, and Scamp and Tramp say they are sorry. They soon give Buster his own dust back at the Junkyard, and leave with the other junkyard dogs. Scamp finally comes back home, and Angel is accepted into the family, as the film ends.

SUMMARY:
I love this movie more than any other film. Scamp is fantastic, therefore making him my favorite character and the best fictional character ever. Angel follows in at a close second. And every other character might be a cliched, but even the cliches don't make this movie a problem. The songs are well done, especially Always There. And everything else is fantastic about it. The best movie ever made. No question.
