DISNEY'S ANIMATED STORYBOOK: 101 DALMATIANS


It wasn't only modern classics that Disney adapted for their Animated Storybooks. In 1997, 101 Dalmatians became the first of their evergreen back catalogue to do so. The movie itself is a fun caper that aims for comedy over grand mythologising and stands out because of it. While this storybook is based on the 1961 original movie, it was probably chosen over other classics because of the the blockbuster live action adaptation released the previous year.

The four mini-games here have had more thought put into them, although none are particularly original. The first is a pairs matching game that uses sounds, images and words to assist you in reuniting puppies and their owners. Later on in the game you decipher codes using animal noises and travel through Cruella's mansion as both a hidden objects game and a Pac-Man like maze.

It's not just the mini-games that have improved, but also the graphics and sound design. There is a jazz soundtrack throughout the game that perfectly suits the handsomely drawn images that hark back to the 60s. Even the individual pages have very minor objectives before you can continue making it play like a playschool point-and-click adventure. Like all games in this series, it is charming, educational and almost essential for anyone with rugrats.

    Thank you so much! I've been looking for it for too long! It runs perfect on Windows 10. I only have a question, when I clicked "download" there are to files on the carpet, I downloaded both of them tho I only used the .exe file to install, can I delete de other file which extension is .D01? Or should I keep it?

    Thanks again

      I'm glad you like it! I think I'll put some more Disney titles up in the New Year:)

      The two files that you download are the installers, which are separated into chunks for an easier download. All files are needed - placed in the same folder - to install the game. You safe to delete the downloaded files (which begin with "Install") once you've installed the game.

      Hello Sweet Pea. I've just tested these files and while it does pause briefly at 74% due to a large file, it still makes it to the end eventually. Try downloading the files again to see if that's any better.

      Mine does the same thing - i've re-downloaded the files three times but it always pauses and then crashes at 74%.

      Hello and sorry for the problems you're having. I'm not sure what's causing it as I have been unable to replicate it, even when downloading the files again.

      Just in case, I'm going to re-pack and re-upload the files to see if that helps at all. This will be uploaded in a couple of hours so be patient. Let me know if it works.

    5. Biffman 10125 March 2017 at 18:20

      Is it the download or the installation? If it's the latter, you'll need to download both files and have them be in the same folder before running the .exe file.

      I can, though I have no way of testing it. First, create a bin/cue iso of your CD using IsoBuster/Alcohol 120%/you're choice of program. Place these files in the CD folder from my installer, keeping the same naming convention and replace. If all goes according to plan it should hopefully work.

      If not, a virtual reinstallation is in order. Open DOSBOX.conf in notepad and scroll to the bottom. Place a # in front of the last two lines and save. Run the executable and type WIN to enter Windows 3.1 cleanly. Use the FILE MANAGER in PROGRAM MANAGER to access the CD & HDD files. Remove the # from the conf to automate starting the game (though change folder location if necessary).

      All of my installers are focused on English ('cos that's what I am) so I won't be uploading multi-language versions I'm afraid (unless an EU version easily allows for it). However, if you are successful, let me know how and I'll add it to the FAQ.

      Oh my gosh! If you could make an iso of that and share it, that would be really amazing. I've been looking for the spanish version for months and I haven't been able to find it.

      I'm afraid all of my installers are in English and so other languages are not supported. It's possible you may be able to swap out the ISO in the CD folder, but I'm not entirely sure it will work.

      That sounds like it didnt install properly. Make sure both files are in the same folder before installing, and try running the .exe as administrator. Perhaps intalling it to somewhere other than Program Files will help too.

      Check the file sizes with the ones mentioned in the post to make sure it completed downloading/installed correctly too.

      I've no idea where to get the German version from. If you have the ISO and replace the one from my installer with it, it might work. Can't guarantee it though.

      You could also install it from scratch using my installer as the basis. Edit the text at the end of the dosbox.conf to not link to the game, enter the emulated Windows 3.1 and install it afresh that way.

      Sorry, Mac is not supported I'm afraid. It uses DOSBox which can run on Mac OS from what I can gather (https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/DOSBox_and_Mac_OS_X), but the installer program is Windows only.

    Hi, thank you for posting this I loved it so much as a child. I was able to download and install both files, and the game is up and running and everything, but for some reason I can't move the mouse to click on anything. The only thing that triggers anything is the left and right buttons or the space bar. I'm on my laptop with a touch pad and touch screen right now, do you think it'll work if I plug in a mouse maybe?
    Please help me!

    Thank you so much for this!!! I wanted to play this with my three year old, but do not have a disc drive on my new laptop. The old laptop didn't accept the game anymore, but now I have finally introduced the game to her due to this website. She absolutely loves it! We've actually downloaded more of the Storybooks, ones that I did not play as I child. It's still fun when you're 33 ;) Thanks again for bringing back childhood memories!

    Big problem I'm having is that the game doesn't have the full window open up. As soon as Dosbox opens, I'm stuck with not being able to see the full game. It's as though it's cut off about 1/3 or more of the page. I'm on Windows 11

      Not sure what's going on here. Just did a test and it's fine my end. Try changing some of the compatibility settings on the Run.exe or shortcut file. Right-click - Properties - Compatibility - Change DPI settings. Tick the first box "Use this setting to fix scaling problems..." and the second "Override high DPI scaling behavior." See if that helps.

Now I will download all the storybooks you have here. Your method is awesome! My next goal is to try to apply your method to my Portuguese iso file somehow (since Portuguese is my first language). But I’m already super happy and my 5-year-old son will “visit my childhood” thanks to you. God bless you.
