What Becomes A Legend Least?
</hdr><body>
<p>By Sidney Urquhart/Reported by David Ellis

<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.
