Hannah, Jodi, and Philip discuss the 1961 Disney film \u2018One Hundred and One Dalmatians.\u2019 This was the first feature-length film to use Xerox photocopying to save on animation costs. At the domestic box office it went on to gross around 850 million in today\u2019s dollars, second only to \u2018Snow White\u2019 (1937) in this particular ranking (animated domestic grosses, adjusted for inflation). It would inspire several spin-off films and an animated series, and was based on a popular children\u2019s novel by Dodie Smith. The film adheres closely to the novel, which established the iconic look and personality of Cruella De Vil. The film\u2019s unique art style, modern setting and yuppie protagonists were a departure from Disney\u2019s usual classic aesthetic, offering relevant insight on parenting and consumerism.
