The Mouse House’s streaming service Disney+ kicks off November 12 with a slew of hotly anticipated original series (The MandalorianHigh School Musical: The Musical: The Series) as well as some original films, the most exciting of which for many fans is its live-action remake of the 1955 animated classic Lady and the Tramp. Ahead of the movie’s release on Disney+, we sat down with four of its stars: Tessa Thompson and Justin Theroux, who provide the voices of lead romantic duo Lady and Tramp, as well as the canines who play those charming dogs on screen, Rose and Monte.

Want to know how they really felt about recreating that famous spaghetti scene? Watch the interview above.


Lady and the Tramp is available on Disney+ November 12.
