On this day in history was the premiere of Walt Disney Productions animated adventure comedy based on the 1956 novel, The Hundred and One Dalmatians, by Dodie Smith. Its huge box office success rescued the studio from the financial slump caused by Sleeping Beauty. Set in London, England, it is a story about a litter of Dalmatian puppies kidnapped by the villainous Cruella de Vil, voiced effectively by radio's Betty Lou Gerson, who wants to use their fur to make coats.
