101 Dalmatians (1961 film)

Animated Feature Films

101 Dalmatians, released under the title One Hundred and One Dalmatians, is a 1961 American animated film produced by Walt Disney Productions, adapted from Dodie Smith's 1956 novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians. It follows Dalmatian parents Pongo and Perdita, who set out to rescue their stolen puppies, along with dozens of other kidnapped Dalmatian puppies, from the villainous Cruella de Vil, eventually returning home with far more puppies than they started with. Its production pioneered the use of Xerox photocopying technology to transfer animators' drawings directly onto animation cels, a technique that reduced costs and gave the film's linework a distinctive sketchy style copied by later Disney productions.
