- <p> The fur trade is bristling over TV ads for Disney's newly
- revived One Hunand One Dalmatians. The 1961 classic portrays the
- fiendish CRUELLA DE VIL as a Leona Helmsley-esque character
- obsessed with luxury furs. The ads create "a gruesome picture
- in [children's] minds, making them understandably upset the
- next time they see their mother put on a fur coat," complains
- Fur Age Weekly editor Lisa Marcinek. Joining the fray, People
- for the Ethical Treatment of Animals exhorts parents to expose
- their children to the film's "playful, yet solid antifur
- message." And so they are. Dalmatians has pulled in $42 million
- in a month.
