Screenings and Discussions
In celebration of love, puppies, and the meanest fashionista you’ll ever meet, February’s Film of the Month is 101 Dalmatians!

The film will be showing daily at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. in the Theater (except Tuesdays and February 12, 13, 14, and 20.) For tickets, please visit www.waltdisney.org.
On Saturday, February 12, Dalmatians lovers are in for a real treat, as the museum presents Designing a Contemporary Classic: The Art and Process of 101 Dalmatians with Floyd Norman, Andreas Dejas, and Don Iwerks. The panel of animators and experts will discuss the groundbreaking animation of this beloved classic, how the animation was unique, and why the technological advancement of the Xerox process proved to be so revolutionary. It’s a rare glimpse into the history of Walt Disney Animation. Tickets are available at www.waltdisney.org for the event, which takes place at 3 p.m. in the Theater.
