More Movie News: Lady and the Tramp, is a live action remake of the 1955 Disney Classic. It will open Christmas and here’s some interesting notes. In the original Larry Roberts did the voice of Tramp, it was his only movie role. Barbara Luddy voiced Lady, but she also did other voices including, Kanga in Winnie The Poo, Rover in One Hundred and One Dalmatians, Merryweather in Sleeping Beauty and Mother Rabbit in Robin Hood. In the upcoming film, Justin Theroux voices Tramp, and his ex- Jennifer Aniston swears she wont be seeing it. And the new Lady is voiced by Tessa Thompson, who I love and starred in Selma and Creed.
