Wicked Cruella wants a soft puppy spotted fur coat, but must suffer in her evil quest. Who knew the animal kingdom could be so smart; they outwit her and her henchmen. In contrast to the evildoers, the loving caretakers of the Dalmations show the audience the good side of humanity. Great suspense for children; fun for adults also.

Before watching this film I was worried- How could Disney possibly take this classic storyline and turn it into a live action movie that would appeal to children AND adults WITHOUT COMPLETELY BUTCHERING IT? Not to worry- the way they have converted and updated this film is truly impressive. In fact, it is just as impressive as the cast of characters, that includes Glenn Close, as a fabulous Cruella De Vil, Hugh Laurie (from House), as one of her bumbling henchmen and Jeff Daniels, as Roger. Although the dogs do not actually talk to each other in this one, thier use of nonverbals is excellent and clearly manages to tell their part of the story. To make up for lack of dialogue between the dogs, the stories between the human actors has been expanded, which I think adds a new and interesting dimension to the storyline. In this one Roger is not a musician trying to compose a hit song, he is a video game designer trying to create the perfect villian for his latest dalmation- inspired game and Anita is a fashion designer. She works for The House of De Vil, which is of course, owned and ruthlessly operated by the fur- obsessed Cruella. Cruella begins taking notice of Anita as a designer when she sees a drawing of a dalmation- inspired dress that she has done. And when Anita decides to work at home after a whirl wind romance and wedding to Roger, Cruella feels snubbed and vows revenge... Although this movie is rated G, I would not recommend it for younger viewers. The Cruella character is very scary and some of the chase/ escape scenes appear even more intense than they are in the cartoon version.Read full review
