Continuity mistake: When Darling is busy knitting something for the baby, her ball of pink yarn falls to the floor. The length of string she was using is taut at first, but once the shot changes a significant amount of slack appears on her lap. (00:21:30)

Continuity mistake: After Jock and Trusty stop the pound carriage in its tracks, an oncoming taxi illuminates the back where Tramp is locked up. Here we can see the door's cage has no broken metal wires, but two shots later where Lady walks up to it, a couple of its wires are suddenly sheared apart. (01:12:00)

Lady: "This-a one"?
Tramp: This-a one... this-a... Oh! Tony, you know. He's-a not-a speak-a English-a pretty good.

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.
