I don't really notice these visual details, but I appreciate the explanations behind them, and I find the history of the process and the integration of technology interesting. On a somewhat related note, I watched this film last week with my children (3,7,11) and I thought it was really great. Not that it was my first time seeing it, but my first time as an adult. I don't think it was rose-colored glasses, but I was just genuinely impressed by the story, voice acting (especially), animation, and the whole.

I watched it last night with my kids as it happens, and thought it was pretty bad. The story is basically just a single long chase sequence which doesn't really reward adult viewers. I much prefer the one millionth rewatch of Robin Hood, which definitely has a lot of flaws (really blatant reuse of animations) but is a lot more fun with a lot of different action sequences and jokes. Basically the only easter egg for adults in 101 Dalmatians is the What's My Crime TV show.

  I will say compared to Sleeping Beauty; it's at least watchable. SB was a triumph of the art department over any common sense. "Let's make a high modernist technicolor crazy angular art piece… about Sleeping Beauty." I can see how they talked themselves into it, but Walt should have talked them back out of it. That art style is fine for a short but can't hold a feature and conflicts with the goal of making a movie for children with resonant themes for adults.

I work with computer graphics (in game development) and I love how much I notice about the technical details when watching movies. With Disney and Pixar it's often delight at how well made something is. With Hollywood productions it's often cringe at some cheap CG and obvious artifacts. Even then, I often enjoy being able to spot it.
