MUMBAI: The platinum edition of 101 Dalmatians, the 1961 animation film from Disney, is being released on DVD.
The DVD, released by Excel Home Videos, has been digitally restored with enhanced picture and sound quality and will see a release first time in India.
The film is based on the novel bearing the same name authored by Dodie Smith.
Excel Home Videos (licensee for Disney Home Entertainment) MD MN Kapasi said, “The film has picked up extremely well with the on-going vacations and we have released additional quantities in the market. The highlight has been the special promotion with a Doghouse on offer at a discounted price on the purchase of the DVD”.
The film was path breaking as it signaled a change in the graphic style of Disney‘s animation. This occurred with the introduction of xerography which eased graphic reproduction requirements.
The DVD is packed with features including a virtual dalmatian‘s game, 101 pop-up trivia facts, language games, deleted songs, a new music video by Selena Gomez and the correspondence between Walt Disney and the author of the book.
