Pongo, Perdita, and the pups have sold out in a new ad for high-end French fashion chain Givenchy.
The spot, which promotes $700 t-shirts and similar extravagantly priced items, was overseen by iconic Disney veteran Eric Goldberg, who said in a statement:
To have the opportunity to tell a story and create new animation with the characters from 101 Dalmatians, through the imaginative and playful lens of the House of Givenchy, was an absolute dream.
Last year, readers were thrilled to hear that Disney was investing in a new traditional 2d animation training program, high on the hopes that the studio might start putting out feature films the likes of those in decades past. The company however spent much of the last decade gutting its traditional pipeline, including the talent who worked there, and a return to its past 2d glories doesn’t appear to be imminent.
