"One Hundred and One!" - Yes, it was a frolicking bunch of
puppies that claimed the hearts of moviegoers in 1961 when this animated feature was released, and it's
been delighting audiences ever since. The film had brave heroes, but equally wicked villains, particularly
Cruella de Vil. She was just over-the-top evil. It was the first Disney movie I ever saw, so I'm especially fond of
it. Animation fans will also note that this was the first Disney feature to use Xerography to create
the outlines from the animator's drawings to create the production cels, as opposed to the time-honored
method of hand-tracing with pen and ink. Two friends back in California are such well-known fans of this
movie, that when they won an auction at a Disneyana convention, the auctioneer gavelled their winning bid with,
"Sold to Pongo and Perdy!" to the delight of the entire ballroom. I'll never forget that.

Betty Lou Gerson as Cruella de Vil AutographCruella certainly stands out as a villainess in many ways. Those eyes, for one
thing, and, of course, her scratchy voice given her by Ms. Betty Lou Gerson who was a great character
actress in movies, television, and radio in the late 1940's through the 1960's. Sadly, Ms. Gerson passed away
in 1999, but isn't this a great image of Cruella? The artwork is 7½x6", the autograph
card is 2x4" and is inscribed "Betty Lou Gerson, Cruella de Vil." The mat is
14x11". |
