The Legacy Collection Lady and The Tramp - Released to theaters on June 22, 1955, "Lady and the Tramp" was the first animated feature to be filmed in Cinemascope and its sequence of Lady and Tramp sharing a plate of spaghetti is considered an iconic scene in American film.

Lady and the Tramp was named No. 95 out of the "100 Greatest Love Stories of All Time" by the American Film Institute in their 100 Years...100 Passions special, as one of only two animated films to appear on the list. In June 2011, TIME named the feature one of "The 25 All-TIME Best Animated Films."

Disc Two features The Lost Chords of Lady and the Tramp - a demo of "I'm Free as a Breeze" and 2 new recordings of "I'm Free as a Breeze" and "I'm Singin' ('Cause I Want to Sing), brought to life the way they would have sounded in 1955. 

Disc Two also includes 6 bonus tracks from the 1962 vinyl release Lady and the Tramp: All the Songs from the Motion Picture (Disneyland Records) featuring studio singers. 

The Pocahontas collection features the songs and score from the film on Disc One. Disc Two includes the end credit tracks "Colors of the Wind" performed by Vanessa Williams and "If I Never Knew You" performed by Jon Secada and Shanice, plus songs and score cut from the film including Mel Gibson and Judy Kuhn's version of "If I Never Knew You," plus 3 demos.

The Legacy Collection The Aristocats - The last film project approved by Walt Disney before his death in 1966, "The Aristocats" features the voices of Eva Gabor, Hermione Baddeley, Phil Harris, Dean Clark, Sterling Holloway, Scatman Crothers, and Roddy Maude-Roxby. The 20th animated feature was originally released to theaters by Buena Vista Distribution on December 11, 1970.
