101 Dalmatians is a first. The first animated movie using Disney's Xerox method.
After Sleeping Beauty bombed, Disney was at a crossroads. Walt was told by many of his peers, including his own brother, to shut down the animation studio. They were making plenty of money with their TV shows (Mickey Mouse Club, Zorro), the live-action movies, as well as Disneyland. They didn't need animation anymore.
Walt stood his ground. Animation was the company's roots, and he was going to find a way to keep it going.
Ub Iwerks, co-creator of Mickey Mouse and one of Walt's closest confidants, found the answer in a modified Xerox machine.
In the original days, the animators would draw each frame of animation on to a sheet of paper. These would them be traced into the animation cells before being colored in.
With the Xerox machine, the animation frames wold be printed directly into the animation cells. Saving hundreds of hours. Animators loved it, as it was their direct drawings being used in the movies, rather than someone's traced version of it.
This woild give the movies a bit of a dirty look that defined that era. This era would go from 1961's 101 Dalmatians through 1988's Oliver and Company.
Starting with 1989's The Little Mermaid, the studio would move to digital animation. Scanning each frame, cleaning it up, and animating it using computers.

I will use this to say I do NOT want that Cruella Misunderstood Antihero movie. That is all.
Also, I am a fan of the show What's My Crime? Brought to you by Canine Crunchies.

Glad to see that several of the voice actors are still around. Especially Cate Bauer, (Perdita) who’s currently 98.

Also the first of Disney's animated movies to be made into a live-action remake in 1996.
(Technically, the 1994 Jungle Book movie starring Jason Scott Lee and Cary Elwes was also made by Disney but since that one deals with the adventures of adult Mowgli and is not a remake of the 1967 film, I don't count it personally).

Considering how libel laws work in the UK, Cruella must have been seen as an objectively horrible person for Roger's song to do as well as it did.
