For the most part, 101 Dalmatians is an honest, enjoyable, silly little pantomime.

He spies lovely Perdita and maneuvers his master, Roger, into meeting Perditas owner, Anita.

The owners fall in love and marry, keeping Pongo and Perdita together too.

Roger declines her offer, so Cruella hires the criminal Badun brothers to steal them -- so she can have a fur coat.

Through a combination of rudimentary technology and priorities being elsewhere, the film is not quite the childrens classic it is made out to be.

But even the weakest efforts from the Golden Age manage to keep us entertained, and the film comes through thanks to a riveting final act.

In this case Clyde Geronomi and Hamilton Luske, who directed for Disney throughout the 1950s, are paired with Wolfgang Reitherman, who would later helm Robin Hood and The Rescuers.

The major innovation that Reitherman oversaw with Disney was the introduction of Xerox photography.

In essence this involved being able to transfer the original pencil drawings by animators directly onto animation cels, eliminating the need for inkers to go in and flesh out the original outlines before colour was added.

While this process reduced the number of drawings needing to be reproduced, and thereby saved Disney a lot of money, the standard of animation was visibly lower.

The initial animators were used to drawing sketchily, producing drawings of general movement which would have detail added by the inkers.

Having fired all their inkers, Disney were left with whatever rough drawings their initial animators produced, and the only way to beautify them was with the choice of colour.

The best way to illustrate the point for those who arent technically minded is to compare 101 Dalmatians with Sleeping Beauty.

Though many of its character designs are very angular and striking, Sleeping Beauty looks and feels like a film carefully laboured over, as if every frame had been shaped with a chisel until its edges were smooth enough.

Its colours range from the gentle browns of the wood to the demonic red, black and green of Maleficent.

With 101 Dalmatians, the animation looks like it has been deliberately simplified, with much less going on in every frame.

The colours are a paler assortment of pastel shades, and there has been much less effort expended to cover the replication of characters faces.

You simply dont get the sense that every single one of the Dalmatians was designed and drawn to be different.

Instead the same faces turn up time and time again - not to mention the lifting of previous characters in the shop window cutaway, and arguably the recycling of the four elephants from Dumbo into the four cows.
