ÉlabèteLes 101 Dalmatiens - Au secours on a volé les chiotsUn dalmatien, deux dalmatiens, trois dalmatiens...Dans les années 60 Disney nous offrait un film mettant en scène 101 (et pas un de plus) dalmatiens. On y suivait les aventures de Pongo et Perdita qui essayaient d'empêcher l'horrible Cruella de transformer des petits chiots en manteau de fourrure pour passer l'hiver. Le début d'une longue suite de films d'animation ou live action, sauf qu'avant tout ça c'est un livre écrit par l'autrice Dodie Smith, voilà donc l'occasion de découvrir l'inspiration des films.

In between looking at houses to rent and packing up the Granger house in Oklahoma City, Nick and John put together this yuletide conversation about perhaps the most neglected of Rowling’s influences, Dodie Smith’s I Capture the Castle. John was a reluctant reader, but, while listening to the audio book, reading the Gutenberg.com file on his computer, and digging the codex out of his packed boxes of books, the author of Harry Potter’s Bookshelf was totally won over to Nick’s enthusiasm for Castle.In fact, John now argues that, even if Rowli...

Scarytales101 Dalmatians & Katherine KnightHow could a story about 101 puppies be anything but absolutely adorable? Enter the original story made famous by Dodie Smith in 1956. A likable tale, but one that may not be suitable for "children." We can't lie though. The real life woman who inspired Cruella De Vil seems like a pretty fun gal. Speaking of evil women, Katherine Knight tops the list and she wasn't above killing a couple puppies herself. This one is a doozy.

At the domestic box office it went on to gross around 850 million in today’s dollars, second only to ‘Snow White’ (1937) in this particular ranking (animated domestic grosses, adjusted for inflation). It would inspire several spin-off films and an animated series, and was based on a popular children’s novel by Dodie Smith.

Estella Miller è una bambina molto creativa e allo stesso tempo problematica: ribelle, non si fa mettere i piedi in testa, ci tiene ad apparire, ad essere se stessa ed ha un innato gusto per la moda.
