101 Dalmatians

Pros: Cute entertaining story with likable characters and a strong villain.
Cons: The animation could have been better.

When I was growing up, just about the only animated movies that were released were the ones made by Disney. I did get to go see many of them in the theater, some when they were returned to theaters years after their initial release like Disney use to do ...

Pros: interesting story, many cute moments, great Disney animals, a classic
Cons: might seem really dated to some

1961 saw the animated release 101 Dalmatians hit theaters for the first time. Another original release from the Walt Disney Company, it of course involves talking animals that use those very animals as the main characters, supported by their ...

Pros: Almost everything, especially Cruella de Vil.
Cons: The animation style isn't my favorite

Over the years, Disney has had many memorable villains. It can easily be argued that Cruella de Vil is among their most famous. Her over the top behavior and poor driving stand out in 101 Dalmatians. And considering the film is already filled ...

Pros: adorable puppies, great song
Cons: in some ways, I liked it better when the dogs didn't talk (in the live action version)

Pongo is a loyal dalmatian bored to tears with the mundane life he and his "pet human" have. One day, he decides to take matters into his own paws and find his master a mate -- and himself one in the process. As he surveys the comical...

Pros: A solid story, humor, and two catchy songs.
Cons: Limited animation

This film marks a turning point for Disney animation on many fronts, some of them good and others bad. Following the financial disaster of Cinderella, several business decisions were made. The lush, full animation that was the hallmark of...

Pros: An excellent film...
Cons: ...badly mutilated.

“101 Dalmatians” is a classic Disney film and one of their best. Complaints about the animation style arise from failure to appreciate that it IS a style. It’s wonderful for its clarity and lack of clutter and arises from a cartooning style popular ...

Pros: good animation holds up over 15 years
Cons: no songs and the movie does drag inbetween the acts.

I got 101 Dalmatians a couple of months ago when I found it on sale. Watch it several times and went through the special features and decided to review. While it's not my favorite Disney classic it ranks up has quite good on classic Disney films. ...

Pros: Good voice cast, memorable "baddie," decent story, not boring
Cons: It was the first "Disney lite" animated film, and it kind of shows

Of the many sales tactics used by Hollywood studios to get people to the multiplexes or to buy their movies on the current home video format, none irks me more than the pushy "for a limited time only" pitch. Of course, I'm not immune to this approach; ...

Pros: Cute film, can't miss with Little Girls
Cons: Limited DVD options, film showing its age, too many viewings by little girls

Note: this review is of the DVD version...what do you mean, you don't have DVD?!?! Go out and get it! Go on! Don't worry...I'll wait!

Oh, for the longest time, I didn't want to buy Disney DVD's. Too spendy for what you get - a movie and...

Pros: good wholesome entertainment for the whole family
Cons: none

Disney, in my book , is one of the best in family entertainment. They prove it again in this tale of a wicked Cruella De'vil, and her two bumbling assistants chase after dalmatian puppies for their furs. She will stop at nothing to make them into fur...

Pros: cute doggies, story
Cons: characters, animation

Sleeping Beauty (1959) was a Disney feature in the full, lush style of their classic earlier films, such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) and Dumbo (1941). Perhaps it wasn't up to the level of those movies, but it was still...

Pros: Great characters, good mix of comedy and emotions, fun opening credits
Cons: Not enough songs

Disney's "101 Dalmatians" (1961) was vastly different from the studio's last animated effort, "Sleeping Beauty" (1959). "Dalmatians", released 2 years later, proved to be a...

Pros: One incredible movie
Cons: Scary beyond all reason(new favorite catch phrase)

What a delightful classic! It's right up there with The Jungle Book. If there's any classic Disney movie that's the least likely to be forgotten because of the modern Disney formula takeover(hack! ptooie), this movie would be it. Of course, part of that...

Pros: It's a Disney Classic
Cons: Cruella

Lordy, where to begin. I can honestly say this is, without a doubt, my all time favorite Walt Disney classic.

My then fiancee (now husband) purchased this video for me as a surprise. I sat right down and watched it 2 times that night. I'm...

Pros: good person to hate (Cruela)
Cons: children loose intrest when does not move fast enough

Children, adults, and animals alike will enjoy the adventures that these puppies go through to get back to the ones who love them most in Disneys 101 Dalmations. The movie begins with how the Perti and Pongo (the pets) owners Rodger and Anita meet and...
