101 Dalmatians, is the 17th animated movie in the Walt Disney classics series. It was made and produced by Walt Disney Productions, and based on the book The 00 and 1 Dalmatians by Dodie Smith.

The movie stars Rod Taylor as the voice of Pongo, the first of the dalmatians, and Betty Lou Gerson as the voice of the villainous Cruella de Vil. After inflation, it’s the second most successful animated movie that has been made yet.

Disney remade the movie in 1996 as 101 Dalmatians, a live-action film starring Glenn Close as Cruella De Vil. (None of the animals talked in that version.)

101 Dalmatians was first released to theaters on January 25, 1961. After its first release, it was re-released to theaters four more times: January 1969, June 1979, December 1985, and July 1991.

It was then released on VHS on April 10, 1992 as part of the Walt Disney Classics video series. It was re-released on March 9, 1999 as part of the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection video series. On December 19, 1999, it received its first DVD release as part of Disney's Limited Issue series. A 2-disc Platinum Edition DVD was released on March 4, 2008. It was released on February 10, 2015 as part of the Walt Disney Diamond Editions.

This movie has a sequel called 101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure.
