Amazon.co.uk Review

Disney has had a rather chequered history over recent years, releasing a series of pointless sequels to classic original films; however, 101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure is more than worthy of attention. Picking up largely where the first cartoon left off, all the familiar characters are present and correct, from the loveable puppies to Cruella De Vil, surely one of the great villainesses of all time. The most noticeable feature of the film is the superb animation, hand drawn and totally in keeping with the style of the original movie. In an era when computer-generated images are so dominant, this gives 101 Dalmatians II a feel that is both fresh and classic at the same time.

The story, too, is pure Disney--a tale of one puppy's efforts to find his own identity and calling--but it has a fair smattering of the wisecracks that have characterised more modern successes such as Toy Story and Monsters, Inc. The character voiceovers are noticeably short on big-name stars, but that at least ensures that the English accents are actually English and not some misplaced American interpretation. They may have missed the target on more than one occasion recently, but with 101 Dalmatians II Disney has got considerably closer to hitting the bull's-eye.

On the DVD: 101 Dalmatians II is an excellent DVD package and has plenty to keep the kids amused. The behind-the-scenes documentary is presented in a bright and breezy style ("this is Bob, he's an animator") and there is an excellent, educational interactive game. While Gareth Gates contributed to Lilo & Stitch, Will Young is the musical attraction here with a decidedly average and surprisingly low-budget video. The hand-drawn animation looks splendid on the digital format with its rich colours and depth and the soundtrack is suitably vibrant. --Phil Udell

4.0 out of 5 stars A dog-tastic adventure!!, 27 Feb 2003
By A Customer
My two-year old absolutely loves this film!!

The story is about Patch and his new pal Thunderbolt and their adventures in London which eventually lead to them rescuing the other puppies from the evil clutches of Cruella De Ville.

Adults will love it too. I especially like Lars (voiced by Martin Short). Will Young provides the theme tune.

5.0 out of 5 stars A minor classic.., 15 Mar 2008
I purchased this dvd originally with dread. I expected it to follow the old Disney policy of churning out terrible sequels to their classic films.
On reading the back cover for the storyline i was left wondering whether i even wanted to watch it. But was very pleased that i did. It was almost like watching a sequel made for a film just a year or so after the original, instead of the 40 years+. Great attention was spent on the animation to match the original, and the voices are very nearly spot-on.
The final touch is a story that could easily be an original work, instead of a followup tale. All in all Disney have to be congratulated in doing a sequel that will make all (young and old) glad to buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars More dalmation fun, 6 Jun 2009
By Mr. Arm Lawson "lawson1138" (Midlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Usually, direct to DVD sequels feel rushed and shoddy, but we were pleasantly surprised by this offering from Disney.

Part of its charm is the animation style, which ignores computer generated images (for the most part) and instead has an old fashioned, hand drawn look, making it seem like a proper sequel, rather than an afterthought/cash in.

The story is engaging enough, the characters from the first film all present and correct, and the character of Thunderbolt (previously seen on the TV in the original) is fleshed out(and voiced by Barry Bostwick - Brad from Rocky Horror Picture Show)

All in all, a very entertaining film. Our daughter loves it, and, despite having watched it many, many times, so do her parents!

Recommended to fans of the original!
