...lies the real issue with 101 Dalmatians - it's almost irredeemably NICE - nice is such an unpleasant word, don't you think? It conjures up memories of fluffy puppies and kittens and soap operas with happy endings. YEUCHHHHH!!!

101 dalmations is the cutest kids film that is around by Disney. Everybody knows that the classic Disney films are a lot better than the newly released films! The two bad guys fight to take all the dogs and puppies and give them to their boss Cruella DeVille who wants to make them all into "attractive" fur coats! But luckily for the puppies, aided by horses and other dogs and different sorts of animals they have the opportunity to escape! A definite ...

Review of 101 Dalmatians (DVD)
Advantages: I love the puppies Disadvantages: Cruella DeVil
101 Dalmations, is about puppies that get kidnapped by an evil woman, and the parents have to rescue them and bring them back home safely. This film is ok, although it can get a boring at times, especially when the puppies have been kidnapped, and they have to get back home. I do like the film, especially the song ‘Creuella DeVil’, but I don’t watch it as often as some Disney films. But, younger kids enjoy a lot, because of the puppies and the songs, ...

Review of 101 Dalmatians (DVD)
Advantages: good for children Disadvantages: uncomfortable seats
I took my brothers kids to see this film recently and i must say that i enjoyed it. The story is good and it is not too long for the youngest of children.
Although i must say I'm having nightmares about Cruella DeVille as she's scary! The original and best childrens film has improved with age and will still be shown in another 30 years time i've no doubt.
The animation is good and the whole cinema experience of this film is not to be missed. Disney ...

Advantages: memorable, great story Disadvantages: none
This is one of the very first films if not the first film I ever saw as a child. I loved it then and I still enjoy it now. It is one of those rare films that stay with you and bring back memories of childhood. This is the original cartoon version and not the hollywood live action re-make (also a great film).
I now have children of my own and they all love watching this film and doubtless my first grandchild, due in Jan 2001, will enjoy it too when ...

Advantages: Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!! Disadvantages: Kinda old now....
This film will always be a classic no matter what, and I have always loved the film. I think that children who haven't seen this film would love it as they'll take to all of the cute little dalmations and fall in love with them!!!! It has a good storyline, and it is quite emotional eventhough it is an animation. Cruella Deville is the classic "baddie" of the film and you find yourself wanting to take the dalmations home with you. As with all Disney ...

Advantages: Disney at it's most classic Disadvantages: Too classic?
This is a classic Disney film, and let's face it: who doesn't like classic Disney? You can try not to, but it never works because this is before Disney was corrupted by money or girls, or anything else for that matter! The songs are a little old, but have their charm, as do the characters. Altogether I would never dream of belittling it; or selling it short of what it is. If you haven't added this to your Disney collection yet, it's better late than ...
