Editorial Review:
One of the remarkable things about making an animated sequel is that actors don't age. It took Disney 46 years to make a sequel to its 1955 hit Lady and the Tramp, yet the events of this made-for-video sequel take place only six months later. Lady and Tramp are getting along fine with their human family, the Darlings, and they have four new puppies. The three girl puppies take after mom, the boy, Scamp, has a lot of dad in him. Scamp dreams of "being a real dog," and that means living on the street as a member of the Junkyard Dogs. Despite his dad's warnings, Scamp (voiced by Scott Wolf) runs off and goes through the trials of a mutt, including run-ins with Junkyard leader Buster (Chazz Palminteri); the dog catcher (Don Knotts); and a fellow stray, Angel (Alyssa Milano). The formula here is the same as other Disney direct-to-video sequels The Lion King and The Little Mermaid, and the justification to return to a classic movie is flimsy at best. To its credit, Disney has made a quality effort in the animation department, adapting sets and characters from the original with great success. But the story is never engaging, the songs are forgettable, and the impact unsustainable (and at 62 minutes, quite trite). Nevertheless, a Disney kid should dig Scamp's rough-and-tumble adventures and the cute tale of puppy love (Scamp and Angel even revisit the Italian diner). The purist: beware. --Doug Thomas
Lady & The Tramp II - Scamp's Adventure Reviews:
Package = good/ Quality of movie = poor. 
2009-12-10 - The condition of the disc and packaging was as advertised, but the movie itself wasn't terribly good. Unfortunately it suffers the same flaw as most sequels; falling short of the original masterpiece. The entire movie comes off as a bit silly and juvenile which is a common trait among most Disney movies produced in that time frame. Most people will complain that it is a children's movie, it is supposed to be like that. But lest we forget, Snow White was a children's movie. Sleeping Beauty, Lady and the Tramp, Beauty and the Beast. All children's movies, but they weren't ridiculous. They taught lessons in a fashion that didn't require cheap jokes and weak plotlines. The condition of the package was excellent, and unfortunately, far exceeded the quality of the package contents themselves.
great DVD for everyone 
2009-10-26 - I received my Lady and the Tramp II DVD in perfect order and very quickly. I would definitely buy from this seller again. As for the movie, it speaks for itself...awesome family film.
great purchase
2009-08-16 - I bought the tape for my 8 year old great grand-daughter. The pre-owned tape is in excellent condition. I am very pleased with this purchase. She is watching the movie now. Thank you Amazon
Excellent!
2009-03-23 - Rarely is the sequel comparable but this is excellent. My five year old daughter can't get enough of it! Very well done, cute and kid friendly!
Lady and Tramp 2 - Scamps Adventure 
2008-11-26 - This is a great disappointment from Disney and an overall terrible tribute to the original. The soundtrack and songs were likely put together overnight by aging vaudeville composers and an "I wanna be me" adolescent girl. The music is absolutely laughable! The movie has no entertainment value to young children and would likely bore the heck out of the rebellious teens it strives to identify with.
An embarrassment!
