About Jasper and Horace

About these two, I kind of have the impression that they are based on Harry and Marv from Home Alone 1 & 2, but with some differences, though.

Jasper: with the appearance of Marv but with the intelligence of Harry.

Horace: although his appearance didn't look similar to Harry, he was the shortest of the two, and he seems to have the same dumbness of Marv.

Also, I kind of believe that the scene of the animals playing tricks on them is also based from the Home Alone movies.

Do any of you believe that?

oh yeah I never realized it. Wizzer was being Kevin from Home Alone.

Actually, it's possible that Harry and Marv from Home Alone 1 & 2 are based on Horace and Jasper. (The book 101 Dalmatians came out in the sixties I believe.)

The director was the one who did "Home Alone", I think.
No coincidence. :)

You people are stupid! The book was published in the 1950s, with the initial animated film coming out in 1961. I recently purchased the Platinum Edition and I must say two reminded me a lot of Harry and Marv. (Incidentally, this was my first time watching the film.) If anything, Harry and Marv are based on the animaed Horace and Jasper.
