1961 - ONE HUNDRED AND ONE DALMATIANS, another high point for the Disney animated film.

 A very good animated film from the Walt Disney Company.  

In this film the animators and artists simplified their approach to the story.  They were clearly influenced by the work that UPA was doing with their animated product.

The result was one or Disney's least overstuffed films.  Gone were the elaborate settings of Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.  The film is definitely all the better for it.  This is a simple story told clearly and effectively.

The film is so good that Disney paid it the ultimate compliment, remaking it as a live action film.

The writer was Bill Peet, the running time is 79 minutes.
