Before becoming a classic, this Disney animated film was definitely not to Disney’s taste.
A film with dog
It’s been more than 60 years since the animated film 101 Dalmatians hit theaters to become one of Disney’s best-known films.. However, the film almost did not come out. As we can read on 3DJuegos, Walt Disney had big doubts regarding its production. This is due to one main reason: the band didn’t have a huge amount of experience in animating many on-screen characters. Indeed, until now, the company had been able to show all its talent in animating well-identified main characters, rather than dozens of animals. Even Bambi didn’t have that many on-screen protagonists.

From sketches to croquettes
Disney had used very careful drawing techniques in each of its works, but the entertainment giant had to face the facts: for 101 Dalmatians, it had to aim for greater efficiency. Indeed, the animated film presents animation less “own” in which the traces of the sketches are visible. As the site notes, this visual style did not convince Walt Disney himself. “In the book Before the Animation Begins, historian John Canemaker recounts that the creator of the studio went so far as to say that they would never do anything horrible like that once more.” can we read.
The technical problems encountered had convinced the company that the film would be a failure. Despite everything, 101 Dalmatians was a real hit: it brought in $300 million while it only cost its producers $3 million. The graphic style of the film, which Disney did not think was polished enough to satisfy the public, was judged “lighter and more contemporary” by critics. Following the success of the film, it was Wolfgang Reitherman, one of the directors of 101 Dalmatians, who took over the reins of the Animation department of the studio. It was he who directed, alone, the company’s next feature film: Merlin the Enchanter.
