Dodie Smith

which Twilight barked its way to its 65th anniversary on January 28th this year.

The animated flick, based on the late Dodie Smith's 1956 book The 101 Dalmatians, stars the voices of the late Rod Taylor, Kate Bauer, Betty Lou Gerson, and Ben Wright, and doesn't need a plot recap.

It's famous for introducing the villainous, fur-loving villain Cruella de Vil to

Cruella de Vil.

Adjusted for inflation and countless re-releases, it shot down an astonishing lifetime growth of 888,264,400 canine crunchy dog treats.

The media franchise includes the live-action 1996 101 Dalmatians remake, which came out about 35 years and 10 months after this one, and its sequel of 102 Dalmatians, two cartoon series, 101 Dalmatians the series, and 101 Dalmatians 3 from Disney+, and the live-action spin-off slash origin story Cruella, with Emma Stone as the famous Tyler character.

According to IMDB.com, the puppy's birth really did happen to the late author Dodie Smith.

Her Dalmatians had 15 pups, including one that was born dead but her husband revived, but they sold most of them and kept only a tiny amount.

No, I love a comfort book answer

... my comfort book is I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith.

Um, are you familiar with that?

I don't think I've heard of that one.

No. Dodie Smith wrote, um, 101 Dalmatians for kids, but she has another book about a family, an American family that moves to a, a dilapidated British castle, and it's excellent.

Oh, and I forgot another favorite book.

I'm sorry.
