Disney have shared the first trailer of the live action Lady and the Tramp reboot – and it is beyond adorable.

The reimagining of the 1955 animated classic will land on Disney+ on November 12 in North America. There had been no release date set for Ireland just yet, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed it will be here soon enough.

The movie tells the story of a pampered house dog and a tough but lovable stray embark who on an unexpected adventure and, despite their differences, grow closer and come to understand the value of home.

The trailer introduces us to Lady, the lovable Cocker Spaniel who is living a pretty good life with her owner, Darling Dear.

But when Darling and her husband welcome a baby, their life changes drastically – and, through a series of mishaps, Lady ends up on the street in the company of Schnauzer mutt Tramp.

And, of course, it includes that moment with spaghetti.

Instead of using CGI animals in the lead roles, Disney have cast actual good boys and girls – with the title characters being played by Monte and Rose.

Monte was rescued from a kill-shelter in New Mexico before he was transferred to a shelter in Arizona. That’s where he as adopted by one of the animal trainers for the film. Tramp will be voiced by Justin Theroux.

Tessa Thompson will be voicing the role of Lady, the other half of the iconic canine couple. The part will be played by a Cocker Spaniel named Rose.

Sam Elliott will be playing Trusty, the wise bloodhound, with Ashley Jensen set to play the Scottish terrier Jock.

Janelle Monáe will play Peg, while Benedict Wong will voice Tramp’s bulldog friend, Bull.
