One Hundred and One Dalmatians first appeared as a children’s book by Dodie Smith in 1956. It became a beloved animated movie courtesy of Walt Disney in 1961.
De Vil is an evil woman who’s obsessed with fur coats. She sets her sights on making one from Dalmatian puppies. It’s unknown if she had any ties to… ahem, South Dakota.
Unlike previous Disney movies, One Hundred and One Dalmatians incorporated music by having a protagonist (Roger Radcliffe) who was a down-and-out songwriter.
