101 Dalmatians: This Week on Hoarders...

This episode we dig into Disney's 101 Dalmatians!
Aly once again leads us into a discussion about the original author: Dodie Smith and fills in some details about storyman Bill Peet with help from Sarrah. Sarrah explains the change to xerography and a whole new style (which Walt was less than pleased with).

Together we recap this movie and talk about hoarding, rave about couple goals, and generally wonder at the absolute genius of these dogs. Seriously, they keep this up and it'll be the new planet of the apes.

Welcome to the 60s!

This week Aly and Sarrah launch into a new decade and a drastically different style with Disney's 101 Dalmatians, 1961.

Aly takes us back to the source material with author Dodie Smith, and a rundown of how drastically different some of the characters and plot were. Sarrah explains xerography, a new background technique, and we both discuss storyman Bill Peet. 101 Dalmatians ushered in a new style for the Disney Animation Studios, one that Walt wasn't exactly thrilled with (but we absolutely adore), and not just in the art!

Our recap notices a distinct lack of the Generic Disney Chorus, Aly cannot shut up about Roger and Anita, Sarrah is intoxicated by Cruella and we both ponder; what crosses the line into hoarding?

We're doggone excited to share this episode with you! (yeah, we had to).
