INSTANT TRIVIA
↓
1 The scene has been parodied many times, notably in Hot Shots!, with Charlie Sheen and Valeria Golino taking the place of Tramp and Lady.
2 Disney was partly inspired by a short story he’d read, titled ‘Happy Dan, The Cynical Dog’.
3 The novelisation was released two years before the film itself, so audiences would become attached to the story.
4 After its 1955 debut, the film was re-released in 1962, 1971, 1980 and 1986.
