102 Dalmatians
Meet Two Unlikely Heroes With A Bone To Pick.
Get ready for outrageous fun in Disney's 102 Dalmatians. It's a brand-new, hilarious adventure, starring the audacious Oddball, the spotless Dalmatian puppy on a search for her rightful spots, and Waddlesworth, the wisecracking, delusional macaw who thinks he's a Rottweiler. Barking mad, this unlikely duo leads a posse of puppies on a mission to outfox the wildly wicked, ever-scheming Cruella De Vil (Glenn Close). Filled with chases, close calls, hilarious antics and thrilling escapes all the way from London through the streets of Paris -- and a Parisian bakery -- this adventure-packed tale is wacky good fun your entire family will want to howl over again and again.

Glenn Close was born to play Cruella De Vil. She is just magnificent in this role, this time playing a reformed Cruella ("Just call me Ella") who slowly drifts back into her puppy-napping ways, lusting after a Dalmatian coat.
There's a lot of fun in this movie - and a lot of adorable puppies - and (amazingly!) absolutely nothing here that should make you embarrassed to let your five year old watch it with you. No language, no violence, no sexual innuendo. That in itself is worth applause.Great Kid's Movie - bUgs1
Glenn Close is a wonderful villain. The movie line is not as good as 101 Dalmatians, but the special effects are very well done.The DVD shows how some of the special effects were done. We watched the movie first, but didn't realize how many special effects there were. The animals are adorable as usual.A Dalmatian dud - Baboonvideo
Glenn Close is likely the closest we'll ever get to a real-life Cruella DeVil, but she's about the only thing worth mentioning about 102 Dalmatians, a crude sequel to 1996's 101 Dalmatians (which was itself a crude live-action remake of Disney's 1961 animated classic).
At the beginning of 102, Cruella DeVil is a changed woman, having been subjected to an experimental treatment that has left her loving dogs and hating fur. Of course, its only a matter of time before Cruella's true spots show their colour and she's off trying to round up 102 dalmatians for her cherished dream outfit (the extra puppy is needed because now she wants a hood) with the help of a fur-crazy French designer (Gerard Depardieu).
102 Dalmatians marks the non-animated directorial debut of Kevin Lima (who worked with Close on Tarzan) and the film has an appropriately cartoonish look but, even more so than 1996's 101, it misplaces the 1961 film's spirit and replaces it with boorish henchmen, dull romance and loud Home Alone hi-jinks.
