Spots…Spots…Spots!

How did the Disney Animators draw thousands of spots in Walt Disney’s 101 Dalmatians and how did they make sure they always remained in the correct…spot?  Disney Legends Don Iwerks and Floyd Norman, and legendary Disney Animator Andreas Deja provided the answers to these questions, and shared many fascinating behind-the-scenes stories about the production of the animated film to guests attending The Walt Disney Family Museum's The Art and Process of 101 Dalmatians event.

Andreas and Floyd shared rarely seen concept art and story sketches, as they discussed some of the key players in the creation of the film. Guests were treated to character development drawings and sketches by Milt Kahl, Ollie Johnston, Bill Peet, Ken Anderson, and Marc Davis. The audience saw how closely the storyboard sketches resembled the final film, and learned that Bill Peet storyboarded the entire film himself. They also learned that Marc Davis drew every scene of Cruella De Vil in the film without the help of assistant animators.
