Disney Brings Us Another Fabulous Animated Movie!
31 May 2010 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

This film is yet another one that I saw an extremely long time ago, and now I am going to critique it. In my opinion, Walt Disney and Company bring us another fabulous animated movie that is absolutely funny and hysterical, 101 Dalmations! I recall that I was just laughing, laughing, and laughing at this movie the first time that I saw it, I mean that this film is really hysterical, and that means that it is filled with a very large amount of laughs! In my opinion, this is another one of the greatest animated movies that I have ever seen in my whole life, and that is really saying a lot because I have seen a lot of really great animated feature films since I was a very little kid! Not only is this film one of the greatest animated feature films, but it is also one of my all time favorite animated feature films!

Now I am going to say some pros, I have no cons, but pros. This film has got a lot of what a really great animated feature film like this one has got, it has got some great voices, great animation, and great everything! I have nothing that I can say that is not in this remarkable movies favor, and because I have nothing to say that is not in this movies favor, it is therefore a perfect movie! This really is a perfect movie, it is absolutely funny, exciting in a lot of parts, and overall is a very remarkable film that it an extraordinarily good time!

This just might be a little pointless of me to say, but I really advise that you see this movie if you haven't, because like I was, you are going to be laughing yourself silly! You are probably going to think that this is one of the greatest animated feature films that you have ever seen, so overall, this film is a must see movie that you are going to enjoy!

10/10
