If you haven’t seen this venerable Disney animated film in a while, it may surprise you to be reminded that the villainous, fur-loving Cruella de Vil is an old friend of one of the humans who own the titular canines! A true frenemy! Hand-drawn England is a bit more drab than some other classic-era settings, but once the talking-animal shenanigans begin in earnest, it’s hard to resist.
1961 Clyde Geronimi Hamilton Luske & Wolfgang Reitherman Color DCP 79 min.
