Disney has released the first official look at the dogs from its live-action remake ofLady and the Trampin advance of the studio’s upcoming D23 celebration.
Charlie Beandirected the film, which features the voices ofTessa ThompsonandJustin Theroux, as well asJanelle Monáe,Sam Elliott,Benedict Wong,Kiersey Clemons,Yvette Nicole Brown,Thomas Mann,Ashley Jensen,Arturo CastroandAdrian Martinez.
In the sweetest behind-the-scenes stories I’ve heard in a while, Bean employed a canine cast of rescue dogs who found “forever homes” when production ended. I love real-life happy endings, don’t you?
Indie filmmakerAndrew Bujalski(of all people) wrote the script, and the movie was produced byBrigham Taylor, who also worked onChristopher RobinandThe Jungle Bookfor the family-friendly studio. Taylor is also behind the upcoming Disney movieThe One and Only Ivan, which features the voices of Oscar winnersAngelina Jolie,Sam RockwellandHelen Mirren.

Check out the first image fromLady and the Tramp, and let us know on Twitter which dog you’d want to look after if given the chance. Personally, I like a rugged dog like Tramp, but Lady’s floppy ears are just adorable. These two look like a match made in heaven. Someone get them some spaghetti, stat!
