The name of Disney was synonymous with hit animated features on the big screen by the time101 Dalmatianscame to theaters in 1961. Setting yet another new bar for quality and winning acclaim from both audiences and critics, the film was an instant classic that told the tale of the villainous Cruella De Vil’s attempts to kidnap a group of puppies and turn them into a fur coat. The quiet charm of the rest of the film worked by contrast with the outlandish and deliriously over-the-top character of Cruella, whose contribution to the whole was critical in making the movie work. The New Zealand Mint’s latest pure silver Disney collectible shows her in action, rendered in brilliant color on the 2022 Proof Colorized Niue Disney 101 Dalmatians Cruella 1 oz Silver Coin.

History

Many an iconic moment from the extensive film library of Disney Studios is captured by the New Zealand Mint’s Disney series of bullion collectibles, replete with commemorative pieces designed to appeal to fans, collectors and investors alike. One of the most perennially successful films the Mint commemorates is101 Dalmatians,which continues to be a presence in pop culture: both the adorable puppies alluded to in its title, and the vivid and over-the-top villainess Cruella De Vil whose pursuit of the dogs and their fur drives the story. Although these characters and their original silver screen hit spawned numerous sequels and spin-off properties, the 1961 film still stands tall and continues to find fresh audiences.
