	Movies - Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure

Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure is a direct-to-video animated film, produced in 2002 by The Walt Disney Company as a sequel to their 1955 feature film Lady and the Tramp
.

Story

Beginning a little while after the original Lady and the Tramp, the story revolves around their mischievous young pup Scamp, who always ends up in the doghouse. Scamp intends to live the life of a wild dog, to his father's dismay. One day, while in the doghouse, Scamp breaks free from his chain, and chases after other wild dogs. He meets a lovely, but reluctant stray dog named Angel, who introduces him to the Junkyard Dogs, led by streetwise Buster.

Though Buster takes a liking to scamp, he refuses to allow Scamp into the gang, until he proves he's "Junkyard Dog material". Eager to prove he's not a house dog, (and also eager to show off to Angel), Scamp agrees to take Buster's challenge. During his adventures with the Junkyard Dogs, Scamp finds himself torn between a world of adventure and the love for the family he left behind.

Characters

Many of the original characters make a return.

Tramp: Scamp's father, the memorable street dog from Lady and The Tramp.
Lady: Scamp's mother, the star of the Disney classic Lady and The Tramp.
Scamp: The star of the movie, Scamp is Lady and Tramp's rambunctious (only) son.
Jock: A Scottish Terrier (with the accent to prove it). He and Trusty are constant companions.
Trusty: A bloodhound with a mostly dead sense of smell.
Jim Dear, Darling, and Junior: The main humans in the film.

New characters include:

Angel: A pretty, young pup about Scamp's age. She is the youngest of the Junkyard Dogs.
Buster: The streetwise leader of the Junkyard Dogs, he delusionally believes Angel is his girlfriend. Buster is intolerant of housedogs and is egotistical. He used to be friends with Tramp.
Ruby: The only female Junkyard Dog besides Angel.
Scratchy: One of the Junkyard Dogs. Plagued by fleas (big surprise).
Sparky: This Junkyard Dog's name most likely stems from his younger days, since he seems to have little spark left.
Francois: Probably the smallest of the Junkyard Dogs (even smaller than Angel, it seems). Resembles a Boston Terrier.
Mooch: The Junkyard Dogs' resident dummy and battering ram.

Trivia

Though their names are never mentioned in the movie (not even in the credits), Scamp's sisters do have names. Their names are Collette, Annette, and Danielle.

Following the first release of Lady and The Tramp, Scamp had a small career in comics produced by Disney. His sisters had names (other than the above) in the comics.

References to original movie

Several "sets" were intentionally "borrowed" from Lady and the Tramp by the filmmakers. For instance:

In the Junkyard there is a mountain of trash capped by a broken old horse-drawn dogcatcher's wagon. In the filmmaker commentary on the DVD, it is stated that this wagon is the same one which Jock and Trusty wrecked in the process of rescuing Tramp. Buster uses it as his throne (he calls himself "King of The Junkyard"), perhaps because it gives him a feeling of superiority, sitting in the driver's seat of the very wagon which once held the famous Tramp prisoner.
At one point, Scamp and Angel pass by a gate that was used by Tramp in the first movie to evade the dogcatcher. Also borrowed in the same scene was the term "snob hill" (referring to the fancy neighborhood), which was used near the gate in both movies.
