There are 101 reasons to join D23 for an un-fur-gettable 65th anniversary screening of Disney’s animated classic One Hundred and One Dalmatians. This special screening will be taking place on Saturday, February 28, where the film was originally animated: the Walt Disney Studios Lot in Burbank. The film originally premiered on January 25, 1961, and has been a fan-favorite ever since.
Walt Disney’s original classic has charmed audiences for generations with its irresistible tail-wagging stars, memorable story, and wonderful blend of humor and adventure. Cruella De Vil, one of Disney’s most outrageous villains, sets the fur-raising adventure in motion when she dognaps all of the Dalmatian puppies in London, including 15 from Pongo and Perdita’s family. Through the power of the “Twilight Bark,” Pongo leads a heroic cast of animal characters on a dramatic quest to rescue them all.
At the event, guests will experience a moderated discussion from animator and Disney Legend Floyd Norman; receive a limited-edition Cruella de Vil pin; and will have the opportunity to shop at The Disney Studio Store and The Walt Disney Company Store, featuring Cast Member-exclusive merchandise. Tickets go on sale on Friday, January 16, 2026, at 10 am PT / 1 pm ET on the D23 website.
