101DS Animation Spotlight: 

101 Dalmatians Cameo in 

WDAS short "Once Upon a Studio"

We've gotten a callback to the original 101 Dalmatians, Dalmatian fans! If you've just tuned in, last week, a short live action/animated short "Once Upon a Studio" aired on the ABC channel, where the short pays a tribute to every animated film made by Walt Disney Animation Studios, ranging from the 60+ films, and animated shorts. This short sends a strong, heart-filled love letter to the audiences who had grew up with Disney's most iconic films throughout the years. And with Disney having reached 100 years old, "Once Upon a Studio" was perfect way to celebrate Disney's first century!

But that's not the only thing you should pay attention to. (We promise not to spoil any other cameos in the film) During some point in the 8-minute short, we get to see a small cameo of Dylan's 101 spotted grandparents watching Fantasia on a wide-screen television, when Chernanbog suddenly pops out of the screen and scare the spots out of them! Poor puppies! And besides that, we get to see the return of Cruella De Vil alongside the other iconic Disney villains as we have seen in the trailer! This short here shows that Disney still holds every franchise to heart, including 101 Dalmatians!

We know it's not really 101 Dalmatian Street related, but as this website represents 101 Dalmatians as a whole, we believe this is worth mentioning!
