    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When Glenn Close appeared on the set as Cruella in full fright wig, make-up, and costume, one of the dogs playing Perdy repeatedly tried to sneak away.
    • Goofs
      Raccoons and skunks are not native to Britain. However, there are some feral populations there, descending from animals imported for fur, consistent with the movie's theme.
    • Quotes

      Cruella De Vil: [to Anita] More good women have been lost to marriage than to war, famine, disease and disaster. You have talent, darling. Don't squander it.

    • Crazy credits
      After the end credits, Cruella's laugh can be heard as the Walt Disney logo appears.
    • Alternate versions
      UK theatrical version had some dialogue substituted to secure a 'U' rating.

    Colorful, Cute & Clichéd
    This is one of those movies that truly is - and I don't mean to use the cliché - entertaining whether you are a kid or an adult. The dalmatians and other animals are a lot of fun to watch.

    Glenn Close must have had a lot of fun making this film, playing the evil "Cruela De Vil." Just as much fun, maybe more, were the two bumbling dog-nappers - Hugh Laurie and Mark Williams, I believe - idiots who were genuinely funny in their stupidity. Their dialog was hilarious.

    There are nice colors in here, too, so a widescreen DVD is good to have if you enjoy this movie. I didn't find the surround sound to be much.

    Speaking of clichés and such, there are some drawbacks here that were a little annoying to me, like overdoing the intelligence of the dogs, making them almost human-like with their abilities to understand English. In fact, it's taken to the absurd level level of some of the animals being smarter than humans. Please....give me a break! Also, you get the quick "film romance" in which two people (Jeff Daniels and Joely Richardson) barely meet and already they are in love, getting married in no time. Please....give me a break!

    Still, recommended if you want a want 103 minutes of a "cute" story and don't take any of it the least bit seriously as if anything in here could really happen.
