But when her most talented and industrious designer, Anita, falls hopelessly in love and marries beau Roger, Cruella is threatened by the shift in loyalty. Paying a visit to the newlyweds' home, her temper thaws when she finds that a litter of Dalmation puppies is due. Intent upon adding them to her growing collection, she brandishes her check book only to discover the pups are not for sale. However, Cruella doesn't understand the word no, and she sends her hapless henchmen Jasper and Horace to steal what can't be bought. As Cruella preens in readiness for her new finery, the entire canine kingdom is racing to rescue the pups.

Decent live reworking of the dog story that is worth watching for the excellent cast it has attracted.
I remember when I was a little boy I went to see this film in the cinema in 1996 of December (There time it came out), I loved it at the time but now find it to be enjoyble and a great film but I lost that I loves this film from whn I was a little bo...

You rarely see Dalmatians anymore an I would love to have one. The dogs and puppies are clever and soo cute and wel acted. The story is pertty damm good but can some what be dull at times, but with Glenn Close as Cruella De Vil she unblevible Mad, Carzy, Funny, Fabouls, Nasty, terffic acting and can be dam right scary (for young children like I was), Glenn Close maes this film come alive with evil and power while the puppies and dog do with there taltents and cuteness this movie is funny and power for children too learn not to be curle towards animals.
The cting is decent as Glenn Close and the dogs & Puppies have taltent and show this movie with power and entertaing towards the film. The rest of the cast is perfect like: Hugh Laurie, Jeff Daniels, Joely Richardson, Joan Plowright, Mark Williams and John Shrapnel.
Overall this film is very enjoyble and very funny and has a good a nuff plot its a turmpit Reamke of the Classic Disney "101 Dalmatians" 1961 film which this one becomes live-action and stays true to the classic film.
Worth a watch and enjoyble for the children and family.
outstanding
positives: thorough entertainment, cruella deserves a standing ovation for her performance
negatives: usual good v/s bad plot
