The artwork on this piece was also used on the standard size US poster. This format poster, used for drive-ins and special displays, is considerably rarer as far fewer were printed. It was printed on heavier paper stock and distributed rolled, making it harder to store than folded posters. Over time many of the rolled posters also got folded. This is one of the unfolded examples.

This film was based on the 1956 novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians by Dodie Smith. It was Walt Disney's seventeenth animated feature film, and a much needed box-office success for the studio, after the more expensive and underperforming Sleeping Beauty two years earlier.
