A story so nice, Disney adapted it twice, the animated One Hundred and One Dalmatians has been theatrically released four additional times since it originally premiered in cinemas in 1961, not to mention the subsequent live-action film put out in 1996.

While not quite one poster for each spotted pup, this overview of historical One Hundred and One Dalmatians prints is a nice trip through movie marketing from the 1960s through the 1980s. Not only do we get to see the color and layout of this poster change with the times, we also get a nice insight into how the popularity of Cruella De Vil, one of the all-time-greatest Disney Villains, shaped the way we look back on the film that first introduced her.
