After a wild chase in the bustling streets of London, struggling computer game author Roger (Jeff Daniels) and his male Dalmatian, Pongo - by a welcome twist of fate - are dragged into St. James Park and meet with charming fashion designer Anita (Joely Richardson) and her female Dalmatian, Perdita. Soon, one thing will lead to another, and before they know it, Roger and Anita will get married and the adorable Perdita, pregnant. However, their short-lived joy is disrupted when Anita's glamorous but horrible boss, Cruella DeVil (Glenn Close), dognaps the innocent puppies with the intention of making a luxurious coat with the dogs' fabulously spotted fur. Eventually, along with Perdita's fifteen puppies, Cruella will manage to bring the total to the staggering number of ninety-nine Dalmatians; nevertheless, are the cute little puppies as helpless as they look?
Leave your thoughts about 101 Dalmatians.
| USA TodaySusan WloszczynaFor us dog saps, it is especially nice to see cuddlesomely real pooches instead of drawn ones doing smart-pet tricks. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackThough this film's considerable warmth derives from dalmatian puppies and other animals who take charge of their fates, Close steals the show. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittThe story seems awfully far-fetched when real people play the characters, but the canines are cute and Glenn Close was born to play Cruella De Vil, the monstrous magnate who sets the plot in motion. |
| San Francisco ExaminerBarbara ShulgasserDalmatians proves an apt playground for Hughes as one could surmise that his inspiration for treating comic bad guys in his movies so violently comes from a cartoon sensibility. |
| VarietyTodd McCarthyWhere the film misses its biggest bet, however, is in depriving the animals of the voices they had in the animated version. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertWhat's funny in cartoons is not always funny in live action, and some of the dunkings in unsavory substances left me less than amused. |
| Dallas ObserverPeter RainerThe entire remake has been dumb-dumbed by John Hughes, who wrote the script and produced. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumIf the Disney animated original (1961) -- adapted from Dodie Smith's novel -- tried to approximate live action, this 1996 Disney live-action remake often tries to evoke cartoon. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenBut the tale has been squeezed to fit the mold of director John Hughes, which for long stretches makes it feel as much like the third "Home Alone" as the second "Dalmations." |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanBut when it comes to that great puppy pilgrimage, the movie, which was written and produced by John Hughes, falls astoundingly flat. |
