ONE HUNDRED AND ONE DALMATIANS (1961)
The cute dog movie that saved Disney animation is this weekend the inspiration for a sympathetic origin story about its villainous puppy murderer.
DARBY O’GILL AND THE LITTLE PEOPLE (1959)
A silly but more charming than you might expect live-action Disney movie involving leprechauns, banshees, and Sean Connery.
THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL (1992)
