Then a litter of puppies found Pongo and Perdita heading up a family of 17. We so much enjoyed having you both here and hope you will soon come again.Īll our good wishes for Christmas and New Year and, again, with many thanks for the drawings, which we shall always cherish proudly.When thinking about One Hundred and One Dalmatians, one can’t help but run through the numbers. Please give our kindest remembrances to Mrs Disney. It obviously wants me to take it on as a collaborator. It wandered round and ended by backing into an open fountain pen then departed with an ink-stain on its behind. Yesterday, for the first time, one appeared on my desk and watched me writing. We have two ordinary house mice which have become so tame that they climb onto our knee and eat out of our hands.
Unfortunately, I’ve no new idea which might end up as a cartoon-but I have been offered assistance. I hope your kind wish that I should write you another story will be fully justified by the success of DALMATIANS-and I don’t see how, with all your enthusiastic work, it can be less than a success. Now that we have seen these pictures we are all the more excited about the film and all the more eager to see it. Only breeders and owners know what a dog’s correct points should be. Dalmatian breeders may be a bit vexed by his solidly black ears, but this won’t matter to the general public.
#Pongo and perdita cruella full
Your Pongo is full of character and humour. Your Perdita has great sex-appeal and charm. I quite see you had to cut Perdita, but Missis is known as Missis to many thousands of children in various countries and, judging by the letters I get about her, is as popular as Pongo). I still feel heartbroken about that change of name. We are fascinated by them, all the more because we did not, before, realise that the characters are drawn separately from the backgrounds-though I can now see exactly why this has to be done.Ĭruella is magnificent, much more exciting than the illustrations in the book and I notice many amusing touches in her background. Very many thanks for your letter and the two sketches from DALMATIANS. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.Įvery good wish to you-and to the animators who will bring my story to life. I can only hope that the work will go so smoothly that it may be done in record time.
#Pongo and perdita cruella how to
You can imagine how I am longing to see the finished film-I really don’t know how to wait the five years I am told it may take. For some reason she decided to stand up-so all the puppies are balanced on their little rear-ends. I would especially like you to look out for one known to us as “Folly’s Milk Bar”, in which our mother dog, Folly, is feeding some of the fifteen puppies born to her in one litter. He also made some admirable enlargements of a few of our photographs of our Dalmatians. Very sensibly, he came to see me, and my husband and I were able to show him numerous atmospheric villages, buildings and landscapes. I do hope you will have seen the excellent photographs taken by Eric Gray, who was employed to supply suitable backgrounds of London, Essex and Suffolk. Perhaps this helped to give them a certain pictorial quality. To be quite honest, I always hoped you might-so much so that, when I was writing it, I often found myself visualising the scenes as they would be in cartoon.
And I want to tell you how very proud and happy I am that you are going to make a film of my book. Cyril James thinks you may like to have an autographed copy of “The Hundred and One Dalmatians”, so I am sending him one for you, with great pleasure.
