Interestingly enough, 101 Dalmatians was the first Disney film to adopt the process of Xeroxing the animators' drawings directly to cels, rather than hand-tracing them. It's still a beautiful movie of course, but it's also an advance in animation technology that often gets over-looked!

Thanks. Fascinating read. However...

The character Roger Radcliffe in Dalmatians was entirely outlined in black

This is not true, as you can see in their provided still. Some internal "outlines" are not in black, especially his hat and shoes (hard to tell with his jacket after dark brown or black). It is similar to their Sleeping Beauty (supposedly) counter-exanple.
