Trivia

In the USA, this was the highest grossing movie of 1961.

Due to the commercial failure of Sleeping Beauty (1959), production costs needed to be cut. As a result, this was the first Disney feature film to use photocopying technology (Xerography), which made an animated film with this much visual complexity possible. It also set the visual style of Disney animation (a scratchy, hard outline look) for years until the technology advanced enough (with the production of The Rescuers (1977)) to allow a softer look.

Someone counted all black spots in the movie, frame-by-frame, and reached the total of 6,469,952. This breaks down to 72 spots on Pongo, 68 on Perdita and 32 on each pup.

One of the few Disney animated features to have only 2 songs. All others contain 3 or more.

Goofs

While girder bridges of the type Cruella fails to navigate during the final chase are commonplace in the Americas, no such bridges are found in East Anglia.
