6 101 Dalmatians12 May 202101:11:09

With “Cruella” coming out next month, we thought we’d talk a little about 101 Dalmatians. This property is based on the 1956 novel by Dodie Smith and was adapted first as an animated (1961) and later as a live action (1996) film by Walt Disney Productions. Ellen highly suggests listening to the BBC dramatization of The One Hundred and One Dalmatians for the ridiculous music alone!
