101 Dalmatians, which airs tonight on M6, contains a few little hidden details that fans of the enchanted studio may have noticed.

There are many animated classics from the Enchanted Studio that deserve a little still. But while recent Disney features in recent years have literally been littered with references, the same can't really be said for those that hit theaters several decades ago. In fact, the fad for Easter eggs didn't emerge until the late '80s, and the studio's oldest films therefore contain far fewer of them.
Still, we advise you to pay attention when watching a Disney film from the 50s or 60s. Because although it's true back then that hidden details were much rarer, some films still hide a thing or two. .
This is the case of “101 Dalmatians”, a true studio classic that aired tonight on M6 and in which the most attentive viewers will most likely have noticed the presence of several characters from another film.

To detect them, you must press the pause button after 36 minutes and 4 seconds during the legendary evening barking sequence. In this scene, set shortly after Cruella's kidnapping of the puppies, Pongo and Perdita use their evening walk to deliver an emergency message to all the dogs in London. As the SOS is sent, the streets of the British capital begin to echo with hundreds of barks.
While in the final seconds of the sequence some dogs climb onto the roof of the car to make themselves better heard, pay close attention to your screen: you'll be able to see Lady in the bottom center (see above) and her companion Tramp, sitting on a car , top right (see below).

But the two protagonists of Lady and the Tramp, the 15th classic from Disney Studios, released six years earlier, are not the only characters from their film who have invited themselves into the scene. In fact, a little earlier (at 35 minutes and 17 seconds) we can see the Scottish terrier Jock. Then, at 35 minutes and 49 seconds, we see Peg and Bull, two dogs from the animal shelter, behind the window of a pet store.
