    A reminder that in 101 Dalmatians (a film whose core premise is literally Dogs Who Fuck), Pongo browses through Roger's stash of porn to figure out what he'd like in a mate

    Today I learnt about the actual, canonical sequel to 101 Dalmatians. Every single paragraph of the synopsis makes me feel like I've lost my mind a little bit more. I am so sad that this never got a film adaptation.

    Interestingly enough, 101 Dalmatians was [the first Disney film to adopt the process of Xeroxing the animators' drawings directly to cels](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/how-one-hundred-and-one-dalmatians-saved-disney-180977869/), rather than hand-tracing them. It's still a beautiful movie of course, but it's also an advance in animation technology that often gets over-looked!

    In 1992, when I was a kid, Disney released the original 1961 make of 101 Dalmatians to VHS. My perceptions of London were largely formed by this movie, which portrayed a quiet, tranquil, and walkable city. As an adult, my childhood wonderment has been shattered by cars ruining cities.

    One of the best things about my childhood media consumption was consuming everything in the wrong format like I read Dune, not the Herbert book, but a children's book with screenshots and descriptions of the David Lynch movie.

    The last time Disney had an ACTUALLY GOOD live action film was the 1996 101 Dalmatians adaptation with Hugh Laurie and Glenn Close. It used minimal vfx/ CGI for the animals BUT was 98% live action or used puppets and practical effects when possible. (I haven't seen Maleficent, don't come at me)

    Fun fact: 101 Dalmatians was the first Disney movie to be produced with the help of xerox. This was as a result of the financial flop that was Sleeping Beauty, that almost bankrupted the company and cut their budgets for future movies all the way from the 60s to the financial success of the little mermaid in 1989. This is why Disney movies within that time period has a rougher look when it comes to the characters' lineart and the more simple backgrounds compared to the very detailed, painted…

    I just recently rewatched 101 Dalmatians and actually cried multiple times just from really soaking it in. Just the way _so much_ of it comes to life. The imperfections genuinely make it feel so much more alive. Modern Hollywood animation is incredibly sterile and perfected. A major studio now would never imagine releasing something with visible sketch lines.

    I don't count this as a remake cause it's just a movie with Cruella and not a remake of 101 Dalmatians. That out of the way, this movie is like leaps and bounds better than like 99% of live-action films to come out of Walt Disney Pictures. It's well directed, stylish, and just pure fun. Love it!

    Very true. My childhood movie watching consisted of whatever used VHS tapes we found at garage sales or not-Blockbuster rental stores. The Disney movies I watched on repeat were like The Fox and The Hound, The Rescuers Down Under, and 101 Dalmatians. Everthing else was non-Disney and NOT a classic.

    The look is really the only thing 101 Dalmatians has going for it, but WHAT a look. Also, Disney's use of Xerox never looked this good again, just because the design of everything in the film was tailored to match that scratchy, pen & ink style. Later films would just get ugly and dismal with it.
