The filmmakers knew they wanted the princess to have a non-traditional animal sidekick from the start, so they chose a lizard. Pascal was the name of a pet chameleon owned by one of the film’s animators. During filming, the real Pascal became a father, and his children are listed in the film’s end credits!
Tramp Was Actually a Girl
While there are many memorable characters and scenes in Lady and the Tramp, few people are aware that Tramp was based on a real dog. Tramp was modeled after a real stray dog discovered by one of the film’s story artists.
Tramp Was Actually A Girl
Erdman Penner, an artist, tracked down the charismatic stray at the local pound, where she was about to be put to sleep, after a long chase. Fortunately, Penner stepped in and adopted her. The animators used the dog as one of the main live models for the film.
