101 Dalmatians: The Series debuted in 1997 and ran for two seasons, concluding in 1998. This Disney television series, which was made by staff that had worked on Timon & Pumbaa along with Jim Jinkins, the creator of Doug, was of course inspired by the classic animated film. Disney's 101 Dalmatians film was released in 1961. What a testament to its staying power that this animated series filled the fanbase's need for more stories over thirty years later. While the series had a short run, it was followed by 101 Dalmatian Street, a 2019 series that takes place 60 years after the original movie. Now, you can head over to Heritage Auctions to bid on a production cel set-up lot featuring some of the Dalmatian puppies and the series' villain, Cruella De Vil.
