101 Dalmatians on Jul 11, 2025 | UCSB Arts & Lectures

Friday nights under the stars at the Santa Barbara County Courthouse Sunken Garden

Walt Disney’s beloved animated masterpiece 101 Dalmatians is a spot-on, puppy-filled adventure. When Dalmatians Pongo and Perdita have 15 puppies, Cruella De Vil attempts to buy the litter from its owners. After the couple refuses to sell, Cruella sets the fur-raising adventure in motion by dognapping all of the Dalmatian puppies in London – including Pongo and Perdita’s. Join Pongo and a heroic cast of irresistible tail-wagging characters as they set out to rescue the puppies from one of Disney’s most fabulously outrageous villains of all time. (Wolfgang Reitherman, Clyde Geronimi, Hamilton Luske, 1961, G, 79 min.)
