Synopsis

Amazon.com
Given the two belated live-action sequels and numerous other TV and video spinoffs spawned by Disney's charming 1961 animated original, the Dalmatian count is more like 1,001 by now. This reissued soundtrack (admirably restored in the late '90s by producer Randy Thornton) showcases the original orchestral film cues of George Bruns to good effect. While the composer's bright, lively work was largely fragmentary (originally written as punctuation for the film's turns of action and comedy), its components have been skillfully sequenced and gently edited here for a more cohesive listening experience. The film's most memorable musical moments remain Mel Levin's delightful trio of songs, "Kanine Krunchies," "Dalmatian Plantation," and, of course, the classic villainess romp "Cruella DeVil." Bonus cuts include both a bluesy piano rendition and Levin's decidedly goofy piano/vocal demo of the latter tune. A great primer to Disney's animation underscore philosophy, seasoned with one of the studio's most memorable songs. --Jerry McCulley

"It's sad that the soundtrack CD to Walt Disney's 1961 classic film 101 Dalmatians is no longer in print. It's even sadder that Disney has yet to take the opportunity to reissue the CD in conjunction with the movie's DVD reissue earlier this year. But frankly, I think it's a shame when ANY Disney soundtrack is taken out of print. But I digress.



If you're expecting the most amazing sound quality of your life, this CD will sorely disappoint you. Some cuts sound fuller than others, but when you consider that when this CD was released, the elements this music was recorded on were nearly forty years old, I think any quibbles about sound quality can be forgiven. (I do have to wonder sometimes how music in Disney films can sound better than a remastered CD done at the same time. But anyhoo...) There's nothing here, fortunately, that ruins my listening experience.



Unlike a lot of Disney films before or after 101 Dalmatians, there's very few songs on here. In fact, there's only three - the classic Cruella de Vil, the Kanine Krunchies jingle, which was a loving and witty parody of classic 1950's/1960's commercial jingles, and the finale, Dalmatian Plantation. But despite the lack of songs, the score alone is a fantastic listening experience.



In the 1990's, Disney's amazing output of soundtrack CDs from their animated films may have only been rivaled by Rhino's output of soundtrack CDs from classic MGM musicals. Sadly, both Disney and Rhino are no longer as prolific, and some of their best releases have sadly been taken out of print. If you can find a good condition used CD for a reasonable price like I did, DON'T hesitate to pick it up."
