Movie Description Slapstick kingpin John Hughes translates the classic animated children's tale into a campy live-action slugfest. The fur-loving, sadistic Cruella De Vil (Close, at her most outrageous) pants after the pelts of the titular puppies, hoping to sew them into a fabulous coat, but the dogs outsmart her and her bumbling henchmen.
Synopsis The live-action version of one Disney's most popular animated films.
When dalmatians Pongo and Perdy meet in a park, it's love at first sight for them AND their owners, Roger and Anita. The humans marry, and soon the spotted pooches become parents to 15 puppies.
Unfortunately, Anita's boss is the aptly-named fashion designer Cruella De Vil, an incredibly grandiose, maniacal diva. Cruella wants to make a coat of (gulp!) dalmatian fur, and although she already has 84 of the canines in captivity, she wants Anita's. When Anita refuses to sell her pups, Cruella sends her two ever-bumbling henchmen on a dog-napping mission.
Can Pongo and Perdy save all 101 dalmatians -- and send Cruella and her minions to the doghouse in the process?
Industry Reviews "...Close delivers show-stopping line readings that are simply non-pareil....Daniels and Richardson prove winning and well-matched..." Variety - Todd McCarthy (11/25/1996)
