Masterful adaptation of Disney's animated hit!

101 DALMATIANS is one of Disney's most adored animated masterpieces, and has been embrased by dog lovers around thew world. So the stuido needed to make sure that this live-action adaptation followed in it's footsteps--er, sorry, PAWprints. But they didn't have to worry--this has all the elements of a good live-action comedy, while not streching itself too far away from the goodness of animated. Glen Close is a devilish Cruella...Disney couldn't have picked someone better for the role. While it can be a bit scary for the youngest viewers, it's very entertaining and has just enough power to make you get goosebumps when she has screen time while not scaring you completly so you turn the video off--a little scare is refreshing now and then. While it doesn't have the animated characters, Disney is limited in what they can have the puppies do to escape--but where there lacks the power of anamation, there comes the power of comedy. There's always some zany way for the escape to happen--and there's also one more important element: the stupidity of Horrace and Jasper (Cruella's bumbeling henchmen.)

To sum it up: While this is a little bit different from the animated classic we all remember, it's still got the spirit--and it's very much worthwhile to dog lovers, although I don't know how much certoam cat fatanatics will enjoy this..... ;O) (HIGHLY RECOMENDED. Essensial to any family's collection, this is something everyone can enjoy...unless, of course, you purrrrrfer cats and kittens.)

Cute Puppies

If you like Dalmatians, you'll like this movie. It'll make you laugh and cry. Glenn Close was excellent.

101 Dalmations, 101 Laughs

Quite simply, wonderful. This film is true to Disney form. There's something in it for every member of the family. Casting Glen Close as the infamous Cruella De Vil was pure genious. There is plenty of slapstick, with dialogue of a more "overt" nature. If you want to buy a movie and not regret it, this is the one. I gaurantee you'll watch it 101 times.

Cute, but nowhere near as charming as the animated movie.

Yes, Glenn Close is perfect as Cruella De Vil. And, yeah, it's neat to see a small army of puppies roaming the screen. But that's probably not enough for most audience members, and it wasn't enough for me: The live-action "101 Dalmatians" substitutes slapstick for heart, plot and ... well, everything. I don't doubt that small children will get a kick out of bicycles crashing into ponds, dogs biting people on the rear end, dogs urinating on floors and people getting an electric fence to the crotch. But adults will almost certainly notice that they haven't gotten anything in the way of more sophisticated jokes, plots or fully developed characters to entertain them.

This is a rental, except for families with young, slapstick-loving children. I suggest parents have a book nearby for "family movie time," though.

101 dalmatians

not bad, this movie is definitely better than the jungle book(94) it some great moments like the bicycle ride and the escape and of cruella is the star of the movie but I think this movei has too much comedy too compete with the original, like the score and the new version of "Cruella De Vil".

(102 dalmatians coming this fall! woof,woof!)
