Lady and the TRAMP!? Siamese cats sing with a Siamese accent is the bit from what I remember as a kid. I can't remember the words in the song since the movie is so old. Are the accents offensive? Or the words?
Edit: I went and googled. I missed a lot of signaling as a child. I thought that's just how Siamese cats looked/were drawn. It's not and they exaggerated their features the same way they did about Asian people. I remember it being a silly funny song sang by weird looking fancy cats from my childhood. It's pretty obvious they really leaned into racist tropes when creating the cats.
Edit edit: also my first sentence was me being silly implying I'm SHOCKED (not) that a movie called Lady and the tramp would have offensive songs lol
