10''101 Dalmatians'' is a {{Creator/Disney}} media franchise adapted from Dodie Smith's children's novel ''Literature/TheHundredAndOneDalmatians'', that began in [[TheSixties 1961]] with the [[Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon Disney animated film]] ''WesternAnimation/{{One Hundred and One Dalmatians|1961}}'',[[note]]usually promoted with the Arabic numerals ''101 Dalmatians''[[/note]] although it didn't truly pick up as an actual franchise until TheNineties when a live-action remake was released.
11
12It mainly focuses on an extended family of two Dalmatian dogs, Pongo and Perdita, and their 99 Dalmatian puppies (born to and adopted) living in London with their [[ThisIsMyHuman human "pets"]] Roger and Anita Radcliffe (or Dearly depending on the work). However, the franchise is probably best known for its main villainess, Cruella de Vil, a wealthy fashionista who wants to skin the puppies for a spotted fur coat. "Cruella De Vil" also happens to be the title of a famously catchy song [[TheVillainSucksSong about her]].

24* '''''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'''''[[note]]The Arabic numeral writing is actually the abbreviated title; the proper title is written in full words as ''One Hundred and One Dalmatians'', but the display text wouldn't render the name properly even when using our PotHole writing. (i.e. "''[=[[WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians One Hundred and One Dalmatians]]=]''" still rendered as "''101 Dalmatians''".)[[/note]] (1961): Pongo and Perdita meet, mate, and give birth to fifteen dalmatian puppies, who would later get kidnapped by Cruella and her henchmen, Horace and Jasper. The two dalmatian parents go out to rescue them, only to find that they also need to rescue 84 other pups as well.
25** ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatiansIIPatchsLondonAdventure'' (2003): A direct-to-video animated sequel to the 1961 original. One of the dalmatian puppies, Patch, feels ignored as his family prepares to move to the countryside. When he is accidentally left behind on moving day, he goes to see his television hero, Thunderbolt, who is set to be killed off from his show the next episode. The two dogs work together to help the latter stay on his show and eventually to save the dalmatian puppies from being taken by Cruella again.
26* ''[[Film/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians1996 101 Dalmatians]]'' (1996): The live-action remake of the 1961 film, well before Disney's current trend of theatrical live-action remakes. It starts Creator/GlennClose as Cruella, is updated to [[ThePresentDay the then-present day]] of the [[TheNineties 1990s]], and the animal characters do not speak this time.
27** ''Film/OneHundredAndTwoDalmatians'' (2000): The sequel to the 1996 live-action film, again starring Close. Cruella is hypnotized into loving puppies and hating fur coats, and now works for a struggling animal shelter under probation. Big Ben's chimes break her out of her trance, however, and she and a French fur coat lover named Le Pelt are looking to use ''102'' dalmatian puppies to make a fur coat (the 102nd one was born albino, without a single spot, so she wants to make a hood out of it).
28* ''Film/{{Cruella}}'' (2021): An AlternateContinuity origin story of the villainess, starring Creator/EmmaStone as a younger Cruella during the [[TheSeventies 1970s]], but with Glenn Close executive producing.
29** ''Cruella 2'' (TBA): A sequel to the above, again featuring Stone as Cruella.
