My favorite part is when 101 dogs try to disguise themselves as ... 101 dirty dogs. “Look! An enormous pack of over 100 dogs! We found them! Wait... these dogs are dirty. Must be another enormous pack of over 100 dogs. Let’s keep looking.”

This is the Disney movie I want to live in

Wow. 1961 and these guys nailed it. Look at the colors, the masterful hand-drawn animation, the emotions on the humans' faces. This is impeccable craftsmanship here.

"101 Dalmations" is one of Disney's finest "old-school" animated films.

if this is someone else's favourite Disney movie, please speak up, I don't want to be alone here

"We'll have a dalmatian plantation!" or "Kill two for matching clogs!"

So much weird texture here, all bound up in those gorgeous Xeroxed inks, everything has a dusty coating of toner. And what's with the vague anti-capitalist vibe? There's a whole middle section here that takes place in this decrepit mansion, sort of a crumbling bourgeois symbol ruled over by Cruella, a vicious one-percenter who lives only to consume conspicuously. While the puppies escape, two henchmen watch a bizarre game show called "What's My Crime?" in which convicted criminals are offered a vacation for stumping a panel. Plus the dogs are all black and white, hello?! Ok, so it's not actually coherent in the slightest, but it is pretty loaded.

there's 101 of them

This is basically home alone but worse and with dogs but also mostly not at all like home alone.

One Hundred and One Dalmatians is another one of Disney's most pleasant films. Just like I said with Lady and the Tramp, I just love dogs. One of the things that I love the most about this one is the animation style and the backgrounds of London have this nice art deco style that makes this London distinct from the London presented in Peter Pan. And as to be expected especially with the last couple of Disney films, Cruella de Vil is another one of their best villains with such a dark and disturbing motivation to turn all these puppies into a fur coat. I love how in one scene causes such a massive chain reaction of all the dogs getting the word about the puppies as they all start barking across London and beyond. If I were living through that night trying to sleep, there's a very likely chance I would shout "Stop that racket! You'll wake the baby!"

here for the goose holding the dog‘s ear

Cruella Deville is legit one of the most ruthless villains to ever grace a Disney film. The scene where she madly is driving her car towards the end of the movie is nightmare fuel. 101 Dalmatians is an interesting movie because the animation is truly my favorite in the Disney canon (the incomplete "scribbles" around some characters is great) and I believe "Kanine Krunchies" is the best jingle that has ever existed in the history of recorded media, but besides that, the movie is sort of bland. Excited for the inevitable Cruella movie sans the dogs!

The animation style on this one is so damn astonishingly beautiful.

Roger and Pongo's "disgusted face" is everything.

Horace was ways right but no one would ever listen

Apparently I had never actually seen the original version of this. The pacing is weird and I was surprised by how little Cruella is actually in the film, but overall I'd say this is more like One Hundred and Fun Dalmatians.
