You know i wounded how Ladys owners found out so quickly that Tramp was trying to kill the rat.

Lady led her humans to the dead rat.

Tramp would have wandered on and found some other poor girl to seduce.

I dunno. He seemed rather miserable after their 'fight'. I think she really changed him.

And then in the second one, for some reason, Tramp LOVES the home life.

Of course he does. At the point in time of the second movie, in dog years he's been spoiled by the house life for at least a couple years.
He got used to it. If Rosie and her family took in Balto he would've ended up the same way.

Speaking of being taken in, Balto and Tramp kinda has some relationship.

Zuko literally took the words from my mouth.

But I also like the fact he actually has a flaw. I can't stand these nicey-nicey, all-round-perfect characters, like Balto for example.

Tramp is better than Balto.
Tramp has actual charm and is very intelligent. He has more spine, since he is not afraid to bare his teeth in a threatening situation and hold his stance. I also admire his street smarts and how he can get around smoothly. I mean, the dude gets free food from an Italian restaurant. Thats pwnage.

This is falling into a opinion war again isn't it? Well, Tramp seems to play the "I'm prefect at everything 'cause i'm the most loved dog in town gig" and Balto is almost like that but hated by everyone in town and FAR from perfect, but he is good a working his way across town without having to be seen by everyone. and it's nice to see that one dog isn't good with smooth-talking lines to seduce girls,"Just a shot in the dark, but I-I was wounderin' if you'd, like to go chase a few stick by the moon-light...? * Hehe, Sighs*" Tramp with his sly talk can say one thing that amazes all the other dogs, i DON'T Like that, I like flaws. It brings out the character more.

Not a war at all ^-^

But the fact he saves Nome even though he's hated by pretty much everyone is what makes him appear all 'perfect.' In short, he's hated by everyone but determined to be loved and seen as a hero and get the girl. Which he does...all too predictable and definitely perfect me thinks :3

On the other hand, Tramp means well, but can't help but get Lady is trouble. This careless attitude is his flaw. I can't see a single flaw in Balto, which doesn't give him much of a character to me. I used to love Balto, but I don't know, now that I'm older, I see him as too nicey-nicey...a lot like my sister...who I also don't really like much atm :/

But How did they notice SO QUICK?

The first time i honestly saw that movie was on July 16, 2006,( i remember exactly because there was a major wildfire burning nearby and i really remember fire dates well), anyway the last time i saw the movie was last year i think...

Aunt Sarah blames Tramp for the baby attack, Lady shows the parents the dead rat behind the couch and they just instantly notice it wasn't tramps fault, well, actually it was Jock and Trusty that find out first and run the Dog-Wagon down and somehow the family, in the mean time, wants to take tramp in as one of their own, somehow completely believing everything that happened, aunt Sarah completely clueless.

Will you quit bawwwwwing when someone else has a different opinion than yours? We are allowed to think differently, get over it.

Actually Tramp wasn't the most loved dog in town. When he arrived in the rich neighborhood, he realized right away that he may not be welcomed. But it didn't stop him from going after Lady. And did you not noticed how the neighbors disliked Tramp?
I just like that Tramp has guts. He even risked his own self to help a fellow impounded canine. Not very many can or would do that.
Both are nice characters, but I think Tramp has the upperpaw here.

Agreed, even about Lakota and opinions, not trying to sound rude.. Now that I think about it, I think I prefer Tramp too..

And the reason why they look so similar is simply because the dog designs are just basic naturally. I mean, why should the characters have to be overly detailed with stupid complicated markings? The animators probably wanted a simple design that they can actually animate

Yeah, totally agree with you.

I think it really depends on what sort of character personality you're going for. Tramp has charm, but guts to go along with it. I'll admit, Balto's personality is a little bland. I guess I'll have to go with Tramp :wink:
