My daughter's 3rd birthday in next week and we are planning an Outdoor Movie Night in our backyard for her and the neighborhood kids. I'm planning on showing Lady and The Tramp. I haven't watched this movie since I was a kid. I am in need of two suggestions from everybody.

1. I'd like to show a short cartoon before the main movie like the old days. I was thinking of showing a Mickey Mouse/Pluto cartoon because of the dog connection with Lady and The Tramp. I have all the Disney Treasures but I'm not good at remembering which cartoon is which. Do any of you have a suggestion for which one (by name) to show? I’m thinking of one that had Chip and Dale perhaps (not the Christmas one). Any suggestions?

2. My other question is about a good time for an "Intermission" in Lady and The Tramp. Obviously it should be sometime in the middle of the movie. I haven't watched this movie in 25-30 years so I can't remember where a good break would be. Perhaps between 2 specific chapters in the DVD? Any help there?

Thanks again for the time. It's been ages since I posted anything here but I do check the home page almost every day. This is defiantly the place to go for Disney info. Thanks in advance!

I haven't gotten around to watching my new Lady and the Tramp DVD yet, so I can't be too helpful, but you might want to check if it already has a good Pluto cartoon on there as an extra. Maybe not though. I know that Lady and the Tramp 2 had a couple on the old DVD release (which is the one I have).

A good intermission break would be between chapters 11 and 12, right after the visit to the beaver. As for the short, "Pluto's Party" is really cute. It's on disc 1 of Mickey Mouse in Living Color volume 2.

"Bone Trouble" is a fun Pluto short which seems like it's on a lot of DVDs, including Wave 1 of the Treasure, <i>Lady and the Tramp II</i>, and the Vault Disney <i>Old Yeller</i>. "Lend a Paw" isn't entirely dog-centric (since it involves a cat), but it's another classic and is on at least 4 DVDs you may have.
