101 Dalmatians becomes the 12th Walt Disney Animation Studios classic to officially join the Walt Disney Signature Collection.

In 1961, 101 Dalmatians became the 17th animated feature and a box office hit for the studio.  The film would also become one of the few iconic Disney films to receive a live-action adaptation well before they became the norm for Disney.

My full review of the animated classic is forthcoming but in the meantime, here are the features that you can enjoy for now.
