Pongo is a Dalmatian that lives in a London bachelor flat with his 'pet' (owner), professional songwriter Roger Radcliffe. This was the first feature length animated film to use this process, although it was tested in Sleeping Beauty. Released in January 25, 1961, this film was a major success, pulling the studio out of financial trouble, caused by the box office failure of the previous Disney animated feature film, Sleeping Beauty, thanks to the use of xerography for the inexpensive animation.

This is the first Disney animated feature film (since Dumbo, which took place in its release year 1941) to take place in the time period it was made (late 1950s to early 1960s), as all other previous feature films (except Dumbo) were either period pieces or set in some kind of fantasy world with no specifically recognizable time period. The plot centres on the fate of Pongo and Perdita's 15 Dalmatian puppies after they are 'dognapped' by the villainous Cruella De Vil.

The film stars Rod Taylor as the voice of Pongo, Cate Bauer as the voice of Perdita, and Betty Lou Gerson as the voice of the villainous Cruella De Vil. The 17th film in the Disney Animated Canon, it was originally released to theaters on Janudistributed by Buena Vista Distribution. One Hundred and One Dalmatians, also spelled as 101 Dalmatians, is a 1961 American animated comedy adventure film produced by Walt Disney and based on the novel of the same name by Dodie Smith. 101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure External links Official website
