“There she is! I was just texting you. How are you guys?” Theroux says as they meet up in Washington Square Park.
“Oh my god, they meet! Is it love?” Thompson says as the dogs meet for the first time.
Both actors frequently post pictures of their dogs on Instagram and Kuma even makes a small cameo in Lady and the Tramp, being released on Disney+ Nov. 12.
Disney unveiled the first trailer during D23 Expo in Anaheim, California, and gave a glimpse into the romantic adventures of Lady, the American Cocker Spaniel, and Tramp, a mongrel pup.
The trailer showcases some of the animated 1955 classic’s most memorable scenes, including the famous moment the dogs share a bowl of spaghetti.
“I’ve got no leashes, or fences, with me, every day could be an adventure,” Tramp tells Lady in the trailer, trying to convince her to join the street-dog life.
