Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Back in 1961, Walt Disney got a little hip with 101 Dalmatians, making use of that flat Saturday morning cartoon style that had become so popular. The result is a kitschy change in animation and story. Pongo and Perdita are two lonely Dalmatians who meet in a London park and arrange for their pet humans to marry so they can live together and raise a family. They become proud parents of 15 pups, who are stolen by the dastardly Cruella De Vil, who wants to make a fur coat out of them. Cruella has become the most popular villain in all of Disney--she is flamboyantly nasty and lots of fun. But it is the Dalmatians who shine in this endearing classic, particularly those precocious pups. Telling the story from the dogs' point of view is a clever conceit, a fundamental flaw of Disney's 1996 live-action remake. --Bill Desowitz Amazon.co.uk Review: Disney may throw around the word 'classic' with a little too much abandon when it comes to some of its animated releases, but its take on 101 Dalmatians is very much the real deal. With lively songs, a terrifically-realised story and one of its very best villains, it remains a towering achievement, over four decades since it first appeared. The story of 101 Dalmatians starts with the two heroes of the tale, Pongo and Perdita. But when their litter of dalamatian puppies is dognapped by the evil Cruella De Vil’s cronies, the pair must spring into action to save their offspring before Cruella gets herself the new coat that she desires. But while Pongo and Perdita may be the pair you end up rooting for, the undoubted star of 101 Dalmatians is Cruella De Vil. A wonderfully twisted, genuinely nasty villainess, she’s an astounding creation and adds a real menace to the film. That said, it’s not a downbeat or scary tale: toe-tapping musical numbers, plenty of imagination and a good few chuckles make up the rest of the ingredients, and rarely have they all come together quite so well as they do here. Retold by Disney in live action form in 1996, it’s nonetheless its animated take on 101 Dalmatians that remains the definitive filmed version. And now packed into a special collectors’ DVD set, there’s never been a better reason to treat your family to a copy. Unmissable, and a reminder of why Disney’s reputation in this field is quite so towering. --Simon Brew Synopsis: When the wicked Cruella de Vil and her henchmen kidnap dalmatian puppies for their cherished spotted fur, it is up to the puppies' parents, Pongo and Perdita, and some brave farm animals, to free the caged canines. A Walt Disney animated classic that spawned the 1996 live-action remake. Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Dark Disney with happy endingGreat animation, characterization, sound, and imagery rule in "101 Dalmations." It's action, excitement and love, but with a dark theme that's a bit scary. Rating: - Restoration and PerfectionBeing one of my favourite Disney animated movies, I just couldn't resist buying it, and the restoration of colour is perfect! It is a brilliantly original movie, where Cruella De Vil attempyts to kidnap 99 dalmatian puppies, to turn into a fur coat. Along with the help of the dogs of London town and their animal friends, Pongo and Perdita save their 15 puppies and bring them home safely. It is truly one of the best Disney movies! While all modern Disney movies are in connection with Pixar animation or are live-action, it is always nice to keep the classics. Buy it now and don't be dissappointed. We never know when these movies will be put back in the vaults and brought out again. GET IT TODAY! Rating: - Seeing Spots Can Be FunLife is lonely for bachelor Pongo (Rod Taylor) and his pet Roger (Ben Wright). Roger is a composer living alone in London except for his faithful Dalmatian companion. That changes when Roger meets Anita (Lisa Davis) who just happens to own Dalmatian Perdita (Cate Bauer). Soon the two couples are married and the dogs are expecting puppies. But all is not rosy. Anita's childhood friend Cruella de Vil (Betty Lou Gerson) has decided a spotted fur coat is the must have fashion statement of the season. When Roger refuses to sell the puppies, she decides to steal them. Soon, Pongo and Perdita are on an all out rescue mission. Can they find their puppies in time? This movie expertly balances the fine line between comedy ... Read More: Rating: - The special features make it even more entertaining.Note: This review is of the most recently issued (2008) version. I find it difficult to believe that it has been 47 years since this film first appeared. (I also find it difficult to believe that I now have ten grandchildren with whom to watch it.) Credit the Disney organization with providing with this latest restored version a generous selection of bonus features that substantially increase the pleasure of seeing this classic film once again. They include a DVD-ROM of a "Virtual Dalmatians Game," "Op-Up Trivia Facts," and "The Making of One Hundred and One Dalmations," and correspondence between "Sincerely yours, Walt Disney" and Dodie Smith, author of the novel on which the film is based. The basic plot involves ... Read More: Rating: - 101 DalmationsThis is one of the best Disney films ever made and is an absolute classic. It has action, suspense and comedy and have brilliant characters like Cruella DeVil, Horace and Jasper and of course the Dalmations, all in all a very good film. |
