Production[]
101 Dalmatian Streetis based on a pitch by Anttu Harlin and Joonas Utti of Finland's Gigglebug Entertainment to Disney's original animation team in London. The team developed the plot withPassion Animation Studios, which produces the series.Animation on the episodes was done byAtomic Cartoons, a Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada-based studio,while a number of shorts starring the characters were produced by Gigglebug. All of the episodes and shorts together are animated with theToon Boom Animationsoftware. A total of 26 half-hours of 52 11-minute episodes have been made as a part of the first season, with five two-parters (four specials and one clipshow with the online shorts). The creators claimed at theAnnecy film festivalthat they purposefully never watched thedirect-to-video sequel,live-action moviesorthe original series, and only watched theoriginal movie. They often had to cheat when it came down to keeping up with 99 dogs, so there are some shots where the number of puppies go way beyond 101.
The series is directed by Miklos Weigert. Episodes without him directing have episodic directors, the ones being Jez Hall (directing episodes 19–24, 27–31, 33, 37, 41, 43, 45 and 49–50), Frédéric Martin (directing episodes 25–26, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 and 51–52) and Joonas Utti (directing episodes 47–48). Maria O'Loughlin is the head writer. Cara Speller serves as the executive producer.
A second season for the series was also planned by the crew members,but wasn't renewed by Disney at this time.
