101 Dalmatians movie, produced by Walt Disney in 1961, based on the novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians by Dodie Smith, the seventeenth film in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series about what means a Dalmatian plantation. The author of the book on which the film is based, Dodie Smith, was a successful playwright and novelist who had nine Dalmatians of her own and named the lead dog Pongo after her own Dalmatian. She got the idea for the book when a friend who was at her house saw all the dogs together and remarked, "Those dogs would make a lovely fur coat". 101 Dalmatians movie was the highest grossing movie of 1961 in the USA. 101 Dalmatians movie featured 6,469,952 spots, with Pongo 72 spots, Perdita 68 spots, and each puppy having 32 spots. Cruella De Vil was designed as the flamboyant actress Tallulah Bankhead, as well as some of her personality quirks. Walt Disney disliked the rough drawing style brought about by the Xerography process. Clarence Nash (best known as the voice of Donald Duck) did the dog barks for this film. 101 Dalmatians movie story: In London, we are introduced to a dalmatian dog named Pongo, and his pet, Roger. Roger is a brooding musician, who seems to have no problems with the life of a bachelor. Viewing dogs and their owners going by, Pongo spies Perdita, a female dalmatian, and her pet, Anita. Pongo tricks Roger into going to the park earlier than normal, and through a rather wet incident, ends up allow Roger and Anita to meet. Sometime afterward, the two are wed, and move in together, hiring a maid to help with the housework. Pongo and Perdita are also eagerly expecting puppies, when Anita's old schoolfriend Cruella De Vil comes to call. Cruella asks Anita to keep her informed when they arrive, and leaves. Roger afterwards, decides that Cruella's name would be the perfect thing to use in his new song. Pongo meanwhile, tries to assure Perdita, who is now sad over their having puppies. The puppies eventually arrive, with Perdita delivering a litter of 15 puppies. Cruella shows up shortly afterwards, offering to buy them all. However, Roger interjects, deciding not to sell them, causing Cruella to storm off, angered at this news. Time passes, and the puppies grow bigger, and gain their spots. One evening, while Roger and Anita take their dogs for a walk, a pair of bandits named Horace and Jasper break into their house, and steal the puppies. The Police and Scotland Yard are unable to find any clues to the abduction. Roger suspects Cruella, but nothing is turned up at her home. Pongo suggests to Perdita to use the Twilight Bark to spread the word to look for their puppies. Though known moreso as a gossip chain, Pongo's use of the Bark sends the message regarding their puppies through London and across the countryside. In the town of Suffolk, a group of animals in a small shed are alerted: an old dog named Colonel, a cat named Sergeant Tibbs, and a horse named Captain. Tibbs explains that he heard dogs barking at the abandoned DeVille place nearby. After Captain the Horse notices smoke coming from the chimney, Tibbs is sent to investigate. Inside the supposedly-abandoned mansion, he finds a number of puppies in the main hall. One of the puppies explains to Tibbs that there's 99 of them altogether. Tibbs notices a small group with collars watching a nearby TV. Realizing they number 15, he surmises they are the missing puppies. However, Tibbs is noticed by Horace and Jasper, who attempt to kill him. Tibbs relays what he knows to the Colonel, and the Twilight Bark travels back to London, where Pongo and Perdita are alerted. After sneaking out of Roger and Anita's house, they meet a Great Dane, who gives them directions to head towards Suffolk. The two then set off across the cold, snowy countryside. Back in Suffolk, Tibbs and the Colonel observe a car heading toward the house. Tibbs goes in to investigate, and finds Cruella demanding Horace and Jasper skin the puppies immediately for a dog-skin coat, as the police are looking everywhere now. When it seems the henchman are not going to act immediately, Cruella storms off, promising that if the dogs aren't skinned by morning, she'll call the police on them. Once she leaves, Jasper tells Horace they'll watch the rest of their television program before getting to work. Tibbs sneaks the puppies out of the room. However, once the program ends, the two crooks find the puppies missing, and chase them through the old mansion. Just then, Pongo and Perdita arrive in the mansion, and distract the two crooks long enough for the puppies to escape to the shed where Captain, the Colonel and Tibbs live. In the aftermath, Pongo and Perdita are surprised by the number of puppies, as well as Cruella's plan to make dog-skin coats. Pongo decides that 84 extra puppies will go with them, as they head back to London. The family makes their way across the snow countryside, eventually hiding out in an old dairy barn, thanks to a Collie who had heard of their plight by the twilight bark. The Collie informs Pongo that the family should head toward Hensford, where a Labrador will be waiting for them. After spending the night in the barn, they head towards Hensford, where the Labrador explains that a moving truck in the area is heading for London, and they can all sneak aboard. However, just after they arrive, Cruella and the crooks arrive, certain the dogs are in the town. Watching two puppies playing in some soot, Pongo decides that they'll all roll in the soot, making them look like Labradors. The ruse seems to work and almost all the dogs are in the truck, until one puppy gets covered with snow, emerging un-sooted. Pongo manages to get the last puppy on the truck before it starts up, and Cruella and the crooks give chase. Cruella violently tries to force the truck off the road, but ends up going down a ravine. Forcing the car up the other side, much of it is broken apart as she fiercely tries to stop the truck, eventually getting caught in it's bumper. Careening behind the truck, trying to get it to flip over, Cruella's plans are thwarted when Horace and Jasper collide with her destroying both her car and their van, ending the chase. Back in London, as Roger and Anita prepare for Christmas, everyone laments the loss of their pets. However, with a knock on the front door, Pongo, Perdita and all 99 puppies enter. Roger is overjoyed, and much to Anita's worry, decides to keep them all, with plans to move to the country, and start a Dalmatian Plantation. 101 Dalmatians movie with the talents of: Ramson Hill, Tom Conway, Sylvia Marriott, Tudor Owen, Queenie Leonard, George Pelling, Marjorie Bennett, Max Smith, Bob Stevens, Paul Wexler, Mary Wickes, Barbara Luddy, Lisa Daniels, Helen Stanley, Don Barclay, Dal McKennon, Jeanne Bruns, Ken Peterson, Robert O.

To see her is to take a sudden chill Cruella, Cruella. She's like a spider waiting for the kill, Look out for Cruella De Vil. At first you think Cruella is the devil, But after time has worn away the shock, You come to realize, You've seen her kind of eyes Watching you from underneath a rock. This vampire bat, This in-human beast, She ought to be locked up and never released. The world was such a whole-some place until, Cruella, Cruella De Vil.

I could see no reason why my pet didn't deserve an attractive mate. At least I was determined to do my best. Of course, dogs are a pretty poor judge of human beauty. Pongo: I was determined that somehow they just had to meet. Cruella De Vil: Sweet, simple Anita. I know, I know! This horrid little house is your dream castle. And poor Roger is your bold and fearless Sir Galahad! Roger Radcliffe: Fifteen puppies? Why, Pongo, that's marvelous! It's fabulous! Why, you old rascal! Cruella De Vil: You can scarcely feed yourselves. I'm sure we'll get along. Yes, I know. Roger's songs! Enough of this nonsense. I'll pay you twice what they're worth. I'm being more than generous. Roger Radcliffe: We're not selling the puppies. Not a single one. Do you understand? Penny: Old Thunderbolt's the greatest dog in the whole world. Patch: He's even better than Dad. Cadpig: No dog's better than Dad. Rolly: I'm hungry, Mother. I'm hungry. Perdita: Now Rolly, you've just had your dinner. Rolly: But I am, just the same. I'm so hungry I could eat a... a whole elephant. Patch: That old Dirty Dawson! The yellow-livered old skunk! I'd like to tear his gizzard out. Perdita: Why, Patch, where did you ever hear such talk? Certainly not from your mother! Colonel: Sergeant? I say, Sergeant. Sgt. Tibbs: No time to explain. Busy, sir. Pongo: It's the Colonel. This way. Colonel? Are you the Colonel? Colonel: Oh, Pingo! Uh Pongo? Perdita: Our puppies, are they all right? Colonel: No time to explain. There's trouble. A big hullabaloo. Come along! Follow me! Sgt. Tibbs: No, Colonel. Retreat, retreat! Colonel: Yes. Yes, of course. Retreat! Retreat, on the double! Colonel: When I give the signal, we'll attack. Sgt. Tibbs: Sir, I'm afraid that would be disastrous. Colonel: Ahem! Oh, think so? Pongo: Thank you sergeant, Colonel, Captain. Bless you all. How can we ever repay you? Colonel: Ahem! Nothing at all. All in the line of duty. Sgt. Tibbs: That's right, sir routine. Sgt. Tibbs: Fiddle faddle and rot, sir. Colonel: Just the same, Sergeant, use extreme caution. No telling what sort of hocus pocus you might run in to. Blast it all, Tibs. On the double, man. Sgt. Tibbs: Yes, sir. Right away, sir. Pongo: Look! I'm a Labrador! We'll all roll in the soot! We'll all be Labradors! Labrador: Say! That is an idea! Pongo: Come on, kids! Roll in the soot! Penny: You mean you want us to get dirty? Pepper: Did you hear that, Freckles? Dad wants us to get dirty. This'll be fun! Horace: But what if they went down the froze-up creek so as not to leave their tracks? Jasper: Oh, Horace, you idiot! Dogs ain't that smart. Cruella De Vil: Jasper! Horace! Here's their tracks heading for the village. Jasper: Blimey! It's them, all right. Cruella De Vil: Work your way south on the side roads. I'll take the main road. See you in Dinsford!   101 Dalmatians movie 1 | Dogs are a pretty poor judge of human beauty Pongo: My name's Pongo. As far as I could see, the old notion that a bachelor's life was so. glamorous and carefree was all nonsense. It was downright dull. It was plain to see that my old pet needed someone. But if it were left up to Roger, we'd be bachelors forever. He was married to his work, writing songs. Songs about romance of all things, something he knew absolutely nothing about. Oh, he's intelligent enough, as humans go.   101 Dalmatians movie 2 | The puppies arrived right on schedule one wild and stormy night in October Pongo: Perdita, darling, are you all right? Perdita: Oh, of course, dear. After all, dogs were having puppies long before our time.

They took the puppies! Whatever will I do? Those scoundrels! They stole the puppies. Police? Help! Cruella De Vil: Can you imagine such a thing? 15 puppies stolen. Anita and her bashful Beethoven! Pipe and all!   101 Dalmatians movie 4 | The humans tried everything, now it's up to us dogs and the twilight bark Towser: Taint no gossip, Lucy. It be all the way from London.

It be up to me to reach the Colonel! He be the only one in barking range. I'll bark all night if I have to.   101 Dalmatians movie 5 | What's the word, what's the news, have they found our puppies Great Dane: Pongos, you've made it. Good. Pongo: What's the word? What's the news? Have they found our puppies? Great Dane: They've been located somewhere north of here in Suffolk.   101 Dalmatians movie 6 | We'll take them home with us all of them Captain: Any news Colonel? Colonel: No. Not a blast thing. They're lost or captured, or something or other. Who knows what. Seargent Tibs: Colonel, here comes a car! Colonel: Oh, come now, Tibs. Don't be ridiculous. They wouldn't be driving.   101 Dalmatians movie 7 | Work your way south on the side roads Duchess: Just look, Queenie. Have you ever seen so many puppies? Queenie: The famous Pongos.
