Released on January 25, 1961, this film was a major success, pulling the studio out of financial trouble, caused by the box office failure of the previous Disney animated feature film, Sleeping Beauty, thanks to the use of xerography for the inexpensive animation. This is the second Disney animated feature film (the first film being Dumbo, which took place in its release year 1941) to take place in the time period it was made (late 1950s and early 1960s), as all other previous feature films (except Dumbo) were either set in period pieces or in some kind of fantasy world with no specifically recognizable time period. The plot centers on the fate of Pongo and Perdita's 15 Dalmatian puppies after they are 'dognapped' by the villainous Cruella De Vil who wants to kill them for their fur. The film stars Rod Taylor as the voice of Pongo, Cate Bauer as the voice of Perdita, and Betty Lou Gerson as the voice of the villainous Cruella De Vil. The 17th film in the Disney Animated Canon, it was originally released to theaters on January 25, 1961, distributed by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution. One Hundred and One Dalmatians, also titled 101 Dalmatians, is a 1961 American animated comedy-adventure film produced by Walt Disney and based on the novel of the same name by Dodie Smith. 101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure External links Official website ![]() ![]() Material Witness (Joe Ledger #1.2), 2011.Countdown (Joe Ledger 0.5, prequel), 2011.New Jonathan Maberry Books Relentless (Rogue Team International #2, 2021 So here are the Jonathan Maberry books in reading order, because he wrote so many books ranging between many different series across genres, that it’s easy to get lost while trying to find your next favorite read.

Polis or citizen and politeia or constitutions are the two constituent parts of state.Īs regards the definition of state he observes that there is no unanimity of definition. It begins with the observation of polis or state. These two discussions constitute the kernel of Greek political thought. The major part of this book is devoted to the analysis of constitutions and citizenship. Aristotle’s Book III of Politics is regarded by many as Aristotle’s best work on politics. ![]() ![]() ![]() I love strong heroines and while she has her vulnerabilities she is exactly that.
