Times. “The crowd was on their feet screaming the entire time!” said the Idaho Statesman. “If you missed The Beatles and The Rolling Stones live, here is your second chance," said the San Clemente Times.

Come and see the Walt Disney animated classic on the big screen of the historic Capitol Theatre! Theatergoers of all ages will enjoy this presentation of Disney’s 1961 classic, One Hundred and One Dalmatians. Adapted from Dodie Smith's 1956 novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians and featuring a voice cast with Rod Taylor, Betty Lou Gerson, J. Pat O'Malley, and Tom Conway, the plot follows two London-based dalmatians who are as in love as their human companions. The dogs are overjoyed after having a litter of 15 puppies. However, the glamorous yet wicked socialite Cruella De Vil attempts to buy them all. When her offer is declined, Cruella hatches a plot to steal the puppies, prompting a team of animal allies to help return them home. Leonard Maltin’s Classic Movie Guide writes “The story’s told from a doggy point-of-view, which is just one ingredient of the film’s great appeal.” Runtime: 79 minutes Rating: G Language: English Format: Digital Print Venue: Capitol Theatre
