We're clearly in the era of Disney remake movies, from Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast to The Lion King (among many, many others), but Lady and the Tramp was the first modern retelling that didn't get released in theaters. 

Disney announced in February of 2018 that a live version of the 1955 dog-centered film would be released exclusively on their then-unnamed streaming service. Casting news was released sporadically with others including Sam Elliott and Janelle Monáe also in supporting roles.

The film's outdoor scenes were shot in Savannah, Ga. during the summer and fall of 2018. Iconic Savannah locations including Wright Square and Johnson Square were included in the film, which took place in the early 20th century. Savannah's City Hall was also used as a filming location that is featured in the background of multiple scenes, with its iconic gold dome. 

The Savannah Squares were the first two built in the city. Johnson Square was named after former governor of South Carolina, Robert Johnson. Wright Square was named after the third royal governor of Georgia, James Wright.

The famous kiss scene was filmed on a soundstage instead of on location in Georgia. The dogs used in the film were actually real rescue dogs, and they filmed the kiss scene with some special effects (we can't expect dogs to eat spaghetti without making a huge mess, can we?).
