 I'm excited to share with you 15 fascinating facts about this beloved story. 

1. The original story of 101 Dalmatians was written by Dodie Smith in 1956. The book was a huge success and has since been translated into over 30 languages.

2. The character of Cruella de Vil was inspired by the Hungarian Countess Clara Elizabeth Bathory, who was known for her cruelty and love of furs.

3. The name “Dalmatian” comes from the breed's origin in Dalmatia, a region in present-day Croatia. The breed was originally used as a guard dog and companion.

4. In 1961, Walt Disney Productions acquired the rights to adapt “101 Dalmatians” into an animated movie. The movie was released in 1961 and was a hit.

5. The iconic song “Cruella de Vil” from the cartoon was written by Mel Levene, who also wrote songs for other classic Disney cartoons such as “A Spoonful of Sugar” and “Feed the Birds”.

6. The character of Pongo was originally intended to be a minor character in the story. However, Dodie Smith's daughter Lucy convinced her to make him the main character.

7. Perdita's name comes from a Latin word meaning “lost,” which is appropriate given her predicament in the story.

8. Cruella de Vil's infamous coat is not just any ordinary coat – it's made from the pelts of Dalmatian puppies! shudder

9. The book's illustrations were done by Ross Campbell, who used his own children as models for the puppy characters.

10. The original book features a rather sinister character named Professor; he's a scientist who helps Cruella de Vil in her nefarious plans. He was omitted from the Disney movie.

11. Cruella de Vil's iconic car is actually a custom-made Cadillac Coupe de Ville.

12. The Disney movie features a memorable scene where the Dalmatian puppies are placed in crates to be transported to Cruella de Vil's lair. This scene was inspired by a real-life event where a group of dogs were found in similar crates at an animal shelter.

13. The original story features a rather gruesome ending where Cruella de Vil meets her demise at the hands of the Dalmatians. However, this was toned down for the Disney movie.

14. In 1996, Disney released a live-action remake of 101 Dalmatians starring Glenn Close as Cruella de Vil. The movie received mixed reviews but was still a commercial success.

15. In 2021, Disney released another live-action remake of 101 Dalmatians, this time starring Emma Stone as Cruella de Vil. The movie received positive reviews and marked a new era for the franchise.
