Cute things you did when you were little with 101 dalmations.......


Okay I saw a few of these on the Aladdin and Ariel boards so I thought I would start one for this. I have so many.

I am 14 now and when I turned 3 I had a 101 dalmation party and I took out all of my stuffed dalmations and said that they needed to get cake also. I made my mom cut pieces for stuffed animals.

Also when I was 4 I pretended to be Cruella De Vil by wrapping up myself in my comforter and steal the stuffed toys. Then apparantley I made her die and the dogs got free. I played this by myself, yes.

I also had many figurines and I played with them in the bathtub and one day one got sucked down the drain and I cried so much.

I also watched this movie so many times I knew all of the lines and would say them along my sister yelling at me.

I was rather odd as a child if you couldn't guess.

Hmm.. I was a dalmatian for halloween in like jk, sk and grade 1.
I'm thirteen now, and me and my friend J, still sometimes play games, where we're animals and are characters in Balto, The fox and the hound, lion king, 101 dalmatians, lady and the tramp, oliver and company -- if you didnt notice, im a disney/universal fan -- aristocats, all dogs go to heaven, snow dogs and occassionaly bambi. Sometimes we make up our own characters, and stories.

When I was younger, we had a dance recital with EVERY dancer in the production, and everyone was dressed as a dalmatian, including adults. So the stage basically looked like the living room in the movie lol. It was pretty cute though.

I was a volunteer Sunday School teacher, at one of the larger churches that had a "Clowns and Critters" unit. A friend of mine surprised me--he was dressed as a dalmatian that day.

I always lose it when Cruella slaps Horace and Jasper about the middle part of the film.

I watched this movie over and over and over. I still have the original tape which amazingly still works. The box is in shambles though.

I used to act like a dog all the time as a result of this movie. I still climb stairs on all fours XD And I'm almost 20.

I always played "Dalamtions" with my 2 cousins and my sister. My older cousins would always play as Cruella, my other cousin was Lucky, I was Patch, and my sister was Rolly. It was actually a lot of fun.

My room was decorated in dalmations for most of the time I lived at my old house and I had a TON of dalmation stuff. We had almost all the toys from McDonalds when the live action movie came out.

When my siblings and I were little we would often name baby animals after the puppies like we named three out of four beagel puppies after them, and a litter of lambs from when our grandparents used to raise sheep we named nearly all of them after the puppies.

I'm 22 now, and I've had the very first vhs tape of it when it came out 16 years ago. I still have it. But I just got the Plat Edition today. I can't wait to watch it. Anyway, I still use lines from the movie in every day life. For Example: "Crazy woman driver!", the either, "eyther" thing between Jasper and Horace I use, whenever someone I know says it, or myself. And when I talk to my dog sometimes I pet it, and say "you ducky little thing.", like Cook says to Pongo.

Me and my sisters and brother would always sit up at the T.V. like the doggy AND we always say "I'm hungry mother, I really am!" LOL
I found this OLD telephone at my grandma's house and used a stick as a "cruella devill cigarette" and dialed the phone.

I had a Patch stuffed animal I played with as a child. I had one of lady [lady and the tramp] too when I was 6 and they were a couple.

I ended up getting a dalmation when I was 16.
This is one of my all-time favourite Disney movies.
Fox is liver spotted like Perdita in the book.

As a teenager my mom, sister and I reinvented a version of "What's my crime?" by looking at the doc website and guessing inmates crimes.
I busted it out again a couple of years when I started working at a jail. My coworker and I would guess what people were coming in for and we'd say it like the TV host with a British accent.

My boyfriend and his little brothers got two dalmatians as present and guess how they are named...Pongo and Lucky!

Every parting from you is like a little eternity.

Well, I once had my hair highlighted by a very bad hairdresser, and I looked like Cruella until I could have it fixed.

I received two bird dogs as pets as a small child, but I thought they were dalmatians so I named them after the names on the figurines I'd gotten while at Disney World. (I'm too old to have watched the video over and over; we didn't have VCRs until I was in high school!) I named them Penny and Lucky.

I later had a boyfriend with a real dalmatian. I thought I'd never get all of the black and white hair out of everything!

I saw this set today while looking for a gift for a child. It's a dalmatian vet kit/set: http://www.target.com/Battat-Dalmatian-Vet-Kit/dp/B000BKGM1K/qid=12057 77439/ref=br_1_1/602-7454085-6286230?ie=UTF8&node=368039011&fr ombrowse=1&pricerange=&index=tgt-mf-mv&field-browse=368039 011&rank=pmrank&rh=p%5F3%3A%240-%2424%2Ctgt%5F1%3APretend%20Pl ay%2Ctgt%5F7%3A00060%7B4%20-%205%20years%7B&page=2

I grew up around dalmatians since I was 4 years old so the films were forever on and I dressed up as a dalmatian once for my birthday.

We didn't name any of the puppies after the pups in the film but one of them was named Pongo after we gave him away to his new owners! And he had lots of litters of puppies with a dalmatian called Perdy! :)

When I was about seven they rereleased the movie in theatres, and they had toys at McDonalds for it. I got a Pongo figure with articulated joints like a real action figure and I used to play with it in a huge mud puddle in the back yard. Also, when the live action movie came out and McDonalds gave out those dalmation ornaments, me and my mom tried to collect as many different ones as we could.
