Continuity mistake: After the crocodile scene, Lady and Trump jump away and land on a narrow street inches away from the hyena cage. After the hyena stops laughing, the place is completely different: Wide and with a fountain in the middle. Lady is sitting still so they couldn't have gone somewhere else in between shots.

Continuity mistake: The screen doors on the Darlings' front doors appear and disappear between scenes. Also, with double doors, one door is bolted shut with top and bottom latches most of the time ("inactive") with the other door being the "active" door that is opened and closed when coming or going. However, throughout the film characters open either door, which would be impossible to do without interfering with the lock mechanism, the door stop mouldings, etc. and damaging the doors' edges.

Continuity mistake: Darling's wedding ring keeps appearing and disappearing off of her finger throughout the film, and in the scene where she is putting the flower pot on the window sill, it changes to her right hand instead of her left.

Continuity mistake: When Lady enters the bedroom where the baby is put asleep, the wall in the back is an absolute chaos: A wooden chest appears/ disappears randomly; the things on the chest magically disappear only to become a blanket in the final shot; the mirror becomes a painting, and, last but not least, the wall has either a smooth paint or a wallpaper with flower motifs.

Continuity mistake: When Trusty is having a dream on his porch, a striped caterpillar makes his way down from a potted plant on the front door's right side. So Trusty - still asleep - sniffs his way along the porch's floorboards where the caterpillar falls between a crack. Suddenly he wakes up to see Lady and Jock waiting at the staircase. In the next shot he's asking which way the caterpillar went, but if you look at the plant behind him you can see how it's now placed on the door's left side instead. (00:12:00)

More quotes from Lady and the Tramp

Trivia: Although the spaghetti-eating sequence is now the best known scene, Walt Disney originally did not want it in the film as he thought it would not be romantic and that two dogs eating spaghetti would look ridiculous. Animator Frank Thomas was against Walt's decision and animated the entire scene himself without any lay-outs. Walt was so impressed with Thomas's work he decided to keep the scene in.
