Rating Summary
101 Dalmatians marked a significant shift in Disney animation. Released in 1961, it was the first Disney animated feature to use the process of xerography for transferring the animators’ drawings to cels, significantly reducing production costs. This innovation allowed for more intricate character designs and detailed backgrounds, contributing to the film’s unique visual style. Despite initial concerns about the new technique, “101 Dalmatians” was a commercial success and received critical acclaim for its vibrant animation and engaging story. Its popularity led to various merchandise and spin-offs, of which 101 Dalmatian Street is one of the latest.
101 Dalmatian Street
101 Dalmatian Street aired on the Disney Channel in the UK and Ireland from March 18, 2019, to February 22, 2020. It was later released on Disney+ in Canada and the United States on February 28, 2020. The show is loosely based on Dodie Smith’s 1956 novel “The Hundred and One Dalmatians†and its film franchise. Set nearly 60 years after the original 1961 101 Dalmatians, the series follows a large family of 101 Dalmatians living at 101 Dalmatian Street in Camden Town, London. The main characters are the eldest siblings, Dylan and Dolly, who often take charge of their 97 younger brothers and sisters while their parents, Doug and Delilah, are busy at work.
PARENTAL NOTES
Oh My Dog
- This one ticks me off because, otherwise, the show is fairly tame, but there’s a recurring joke in which the pups use “dog” as a replacement for both curses and for using the Lord’s name in vain.
- Out of 26 episodes, “Oh My Dog” and other variations must be said three dozen times, or more.
It’s Potty Time
- There’s a smattering of literal potty humor.
- Dogs marking their territory, drinking out of the toilet, etc.
- One episode shows a squirrel from behind cleaning its nether regions, catlike.
L’amour
- One very brief scene shows the mom and dad Dalmatians having a romantic kiss interrupted. We see that their tongues were touching.
WOKE REPORT
Fat Doggin’ It
- The dad Dalmatian is overweight and not as together as the mother (he’s more emotional and silly). However, the parents are almost never in the show, and the dad is a heroic firefighter who is adored and respected by his children and wife.
