Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
It's hard to know who thought it would be a good idea to make a live-action version of Disney's animated classic. The one bright notion anyone had was casting Glenn Close as Disney Übervillainess Cruella de Vil; her flashing eyes and angular features are a perfect match and do credit to what is one of the most indelible animated characters Disney has ever created. The story remains essentially the same, focusing on Cruella's plot to kidnap the puppies of a young married couple (Jeff Daniels and Jolie Richardson) and make them into a coat. But the dreaded John Hughes, who wrote this script, fills it with sadistic slapstick and far too few genuine laughs. The human actors work hard, but to little avail; thankfully, there's a posse of puppies to regularly steal scenes when the going gets dreary--although there are only so many laughs to be had from inappropriate dog puddles. --Marshall Fine, Amazon.com

Format:VHS Tape
I grew up watching the original version of this film. This Disney remake is as great as the original version. I have watched this film many times with my god daughter and will watch it many more times.

Casting for this movie was fantastic and the updated story works really well. Glenn Close was absolutely spectacular as Cruella De Vil and it was obvious she had great fun playing a cartoonish baddie.
What more can a movie have going for it than 101 cute little spotty doggies which all the kiddies will adore! But these lttle pups aren't as innocent as they look and cause a lot of mayhem for the evil fashion guru and her witless employees.
Lots of fun for the kids and for the older dog lover too!
P.S Watch out for the farmyard scene - great fun!

101 Dalmatians kept both my mum and my two girls glued to the television throughout.
It is a fantastic feel good movie that will appeal to even the hardest of hearts whatever their age.

Great way to spend some fun time with your children.
Great adaptation of the novel and even more fun than the 1961 Disney animation. Excellent cast (and animal) performances, brilliant costumography and fun dialogs. Read more

OK for kids
Evidently fed up with plundering their stories from fairy tales and native myths, Disney have decided to recycle... one of their own films! Read more
