Summary: One Hundred and One Dalmatians
Comment: Walt Disney's "One Hundred and One Dalmatians" is one of the best loved family films of all time, however, when lined up against greats like "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" and "Pinocchio", it is easy to see its shortcomings. Standing alone, it is a highly entertaining adventure that can be enjoyed by anyone and if released today, I believe it would create the same sensation it caused when it premiered in 1961.
The story revolves around two Dalmatians, Pongo and Perdita, and their owners, Roger and Anita, who occupy a modest flat in urban London. Not long after Perdita gives birth to a litter of fifteen puppies, they are abducted by the evil Cruella De Vil, an old schoolmate of Anita's who lusts for a coat made of Dalmatian puppy fur. While the humans mourn, Pongo and Perdita utilize the "Twilight Bark", a canine gossip chain, which leads them to Hell Hall, a deteriorating manor house in the English countryside where the puppies, along with eighty four others are being held captive by Cruella's bumbling assistants, Horace and Jasper. In order to save their children, Pongo and Perdita must seek help from an assortment of neighboring animal friends including Colonel, a sputtering Old Enlglish Sheepdog and a brave cat named Mr. Tibbs, but as time runs out and Cruella's suspisions intensify, the fate of the puppies grows more and more uncertain.
While this all sounds very thrilling, at times the story can be quite dull and uneventful. The entire first act drones along like an infomercial for Prozac and the animation, especially the scenes in Roger and Anita's flat, looks bland and too two-dimensional.
It isn't until the arrival of Cruella De Vil that the plot truly begins to boil. She is the saving grace of the picture and quite frankly, the sole reason to see it. With Betty Lou Gerson's smokey vocal stylings and animator Marc Davis's graceful hand and observant eye, they create one of the great screen villainesses of all time. It is much more than a performance - it is life on the screen.

Summary: Classic Disney Movie
Comment: This is a classic movie to add to any Disney collection. It is best to buy it now while it is out of the "vault" because otherwise the Disney movies are hard to find anywhere, including Amazon.com. My nephews enjoy this movie and want to watch it whenever they come over.

Full of boundless adventure and boisterous fun, Disney's 17th animated masterpiece is the original film classic starring 101 of the world's most lovable, huggable Dalmatians and their hilariously evil captor, Cruella De Vil! A charming London neighborhood is home to Roger and Anita, whose beloved Dalmatians, Pongo and Perdita, have become the proud parents of 15 puppies. But when Cruella and her bumbling henchmen, Horace and Jasper, unexpectedly appear, the pups soon disappear -- along with every other Dalmatian puppy in town! Now Pongo and Perdita must rally their animal friends and use the power of the "Twilight Bark" to find Cruella's secret hideaway and free the puppies. Featuring the unforgettable toe-tapping song "Cruella De Vil," 101 DALMATIANS is one of the most cherished and sought-after Disney classics of all time -- and among the last films to bear the personal touch of Walt Disney.
