Disney has given us the first look at puppy love in its remake of Lady and the Tramp.

The greatest canine romance in film history (are you going to disagree?) gets a 2019 update in exclusive footage that arrived at D23 on Friday (August 23).

Thor: Love and Thunder star Tessa Thompson takes a break from crushing barriers as the first-ever LGBTQ+ hero in the MCU to voice the lovable Lady, a Cocker Spaniel living the good life with owner Darling Dear (Dope's Kiersey Clemons).

But when Darling's life changes drastically, Lady ends up on the street and in the company of the crafty Schnauzer mutt Tramp (The Leftovers' Justin Theroux). Then, they spend the rest of the movie eating spaghetti — just kidding!

This new version of Lady and the Tramp makes some big changes to the animated original to better reflect the times we're living in.

For starters, the Siamese Cats are back — but they're no longer going to be racist stereotypes, thank goodness! Extras and Ugly Betty star Ashley Jensen also takes over the role of Scottish Terrier Jock, who was originally male in the animated version.

Adorably, Disney has also cast rescue dog Monte in his first-ever starring role as The Tramp in this live-action remake. We're not crying, you're crying!

Unlike recent Disney remakes of its animated classics (such as The Lion King and Aladdin), Lady and the Tramp is actually coming to its upcoming streaming service Disney+.

Disney+ launches on November 12 in the US — but unfortunately there's no launch date yet in the UK.
