101 Dalmatians (1961)
(One Hundred and One Dalmatians)
Country: US
Technical: Technicolor 79m
Director: Clyde Geronimi, Hamilton Luske, Wolfgang Reitherman
Cast: Rod Taylor, Betty Lou Gerson, Ben Wright, Martha Wentworth
Synopsis:
An unsuccessful songwriter with a dalmatian dog is manoeuvred by the latter into a courtship with an attractive single woman owner of a dalmatian bitch, and the inevitable ensues. However, the lady's aristocratic former schoolfriend takes an unhealthy interest in the pelts of their fifteen puppies.
Review:
Attractively drawn settings do little to lift this charmless adaptation of a middling children's bestseller. The cutesy canine characterisations are par for the course, but the American-accented dogs grate against the English-accented human characters, and the animation is coarse and two-dimensional.
