"That witch. That devil
woman. She wants our puppies. That's all she's after." -
Perdita, about Cruella De Vil
Why watch this?
It's tons of adorable puppies, and one of Disney's best
villains.
Plot Summary:
Dalmatians Pongo and Perdita and their owners Roger and Anita
Radcliffe live in London. Their fifteen puppies are stolen by
Cruella De Vil, a wealthy fur enthusiast, who aims to turn them
into her own fur coat. Pongo and Perdita, with the help of other
animals using the "Twilight Bark" system, embark on a perilous
journey to rescue not only their own puppies but many others
taken by Cruella, ultimately bringing the total to one hundred
and one.

Dad's Preview:
This superb animated treasure came at a time when Disney was
pumping out the animation classics. It's a lovely story about a man and
woman, both dog owners, who fall in love. Then their two Dalmatians have 15
puppies. Along comes the infamous Cruella de Vil, a vile woman who loves
furs, especially white furs with black dots! From the scene
where dogs humorously look like their owners, to the "twilight
bark", to Cruella's rants and ravings - this gem cannot be denied as one of
the best animated films ever. |
