Get ready for outrageous fun in Disney's 102 DALMATIANS. It's a brand-new hilarious adventure, starring the audacious Oddball, the spotless Dalmatian puppy on a search for her rightful spots, and Waddlesworth, the wisecracking, delusional macaw who thinks he's a Rottweiler. Barking mad, this unlikely duo leads a posse of puppies on a mission to outfox the wildly wicked, ever-scheming Cruella De Vil (Glenn Close). Filled with chases, close calls, hilarious antics, and thrilling escapes all the way from London through the streets of Paris -- and a Parisian bakery -- this adventure-packed tale is wacky good fun your entire family will want to howl over again and again.

Great movie.Jun 10, 2005
By Godzilla
"Christopher"
My Grandma gave this movie to me and I really wanted to see it. I watched it and it was great. Cruella just gets released from jail and she tries to be nice because she dosen't want to go to jail again. Eventually she becomes mean and tries to kills the puppies once again. They end up at a cake factory and they cook Cruella. I enjoyed watching this movie. I think anyone should get it. A great film!

FINALLY!!!Sep 10, 2008
By charlotte vibble I am SO EXCITED that this movie has finally been released on DVD. I think it was released on DVD, maybe 8 years ago, but it has been GONE since, and trying to find it online has resulted in serious sticker shock. (The cheapest I had seen it was in the neighborhood of fifty dollars!) and I have been looking for this movie since my daughter was born 6 years ago because I love this movie. This movie is incredibly cute, and though I love the first movie (the live action 101 Dalmations), I actually like this one more. Glenn Close is brilliantly evil, the animal talent is adorable, and Gerard Depardieu is hilarious as a fur favoring fashion designer. This movie is full of pratfalls and physical comedy, but never "mean" or inappropriate or tasteless. This is a perfect family film that everyone can laugh at, and the comedy shines through to every age group.

Cruella De Vil is cured or is she?Oct 27, 2002
By Stephen Verhaeren Cruella De Vil has spent 3 years behind bars, and in this seagual she gets granted her freedoom, but if she harms pupppies, she lose her fortune to the anmal shelter. Cruella De Vil (Glenn Close) gets rleased from jail on parole. And gets assigned to parole officer Chloe (Alice Evans), who loves dogs. But doubts that Cruella De Vil is chagned. Cruella joins the 2nd chance animal shelter where the owner (Ioan Grudd) is fooled by Cruella's new ways. Now, you would have to be dumb to fall for that Cruella is crued. Roger, Anita, Horace and Jasper are not in this film. And if you didn't like one or more of those characters you may like this movie. But for some reason this has a G rating when it may be scary, and with mild violence. But remember there are very few live action movies with a G rating.

Pointless sequel.Sep 18, 2001
By Hannibal Someone please tell me what the point of this film was? The 1996 film 101 Dalmatians was a remake and now they're doing a sequel to a remake? That is seriously quite odd. Even though this movie is much better than 101 Dalmatians from 1996, I still don't really see a reason to sequelize the movie. Anyway I really didn't see much values in this family film, apart from good ol' Glenn Close and the dogs. Yes, the dogs are still very cute and make the movie bearable enough. However, the story is absurd, the typical predictability deal is here in this movie and I didn't laugh very much. Apart from the ending where Cruella literally gets baked, this film is pretty much comedy-free. Kids will find it hard to laugh at this flick and to generally enjoy this film too. Even they're little minds will not be tricked by the movies dotty silliness. Adults will be dragged along by kids to see this sequel, but I'm sure none of them will think too much of it. Sure, 102 Dalmatians has some good points - the groovy opening song, Glenn Close's excellent performance, the funny ending and the cuteness of the dogs - but ultimately it doesn't succeed. This is a sequel that you will only be bothered watching while you're one a plane or a boat or something just to pass the time. I'll ask again, someone please tell me the point of this movie?
NOTE: 102 Dalmatians does look extremely neat in Widescreen Edition, so if you are thinking of buying it, this is the format I recommend it in.

Revolting. Back AWAY from this movie.Apr 07, 2001
Disney is not doing well with the dog thing anymore. First, they've dragged out the Air Bud series even more, they made a cruddy Lady and the Tramp sequel that's a disgrace to the original, and now this. I saw this movie in theaters because my cousin said her friends had seen it and liked it, but at least now I know what their opinions are worth. They're worth as much as the little dung piles dogs leave on other people's lawns.
102 Dalmations takes place in London, where one of the original 101 pups is an adult, and now a father. The thing is, over time, one of the puppies isn't getting her spots. So, sadly, she gets labeled with the ridiculous name "Oddball." Also, at the same time, a guy is not making enough money to care properly for about a dozen dogs, and an annoying parrot that THINKS it's a dog. Cruella has now seemed to be cured of her hatred for kanines, and is given parol.
The movie looked like it slightly had the chance of being a good movie until Cruella lost it and went back to her old ways. Then I thought, "Oh no...(heavy sigh)" After that, there wasn't much to look forward to. The rest was pretty stupid. The puppies does Cruella was icing while she's stuck in a humongous cake, Cruella gets put in prison again, and Oddball finally gets her spots. So what's the point of the movie? It's okay to want to be something else; you shouldn't be happy with the way you are. Not only was the movie itself stupid, but it didn't have any good messages either. I would have much rather preferred it if Oddball HADN'T gotten her spots in the end, but she realized that she was just fine without them. But no, Disney rather decided to waste two hours of everyone's lives without even having a good message. Just stick with the older Disney movies like Aladdin and The Lion King. The only GOOD Disney film has come out with in the past five years is Remember the Titans.
