Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Really Surprised!

Excellent, a Must See

Charming and brutal

Featured adaptation of "101 Dalmatians" resembles of a cult "Home Alone", but instead of a forgotten boy, we have a large number of varied animals, who are trying to save the puppies from two clumsy robbers in the service of Cruella De Vil. Cast is made mostly of English actors, who perfectly imitate cartoon characters. One of the bandits is Hugh Laurie, a genius Dr. House, and Glenn Close, six times Oscar nominee, perfectly presented the role of Cruella. There is also Joan Plowright, a widow of Laurence Olivier, who definitely deserves to be more famous for her roles than for her late husband. Special recognition must be given to dog handlers who were in charge of the 250 dalmatians used for filming. Movie objectively probably deserves a lower grade, but animals, which, unlike those in the original, can not speak, impressed me so much with their performance, and even brought me to tears on several occasions, that I can not rate it less than a strong seven. Also pay attention to Dr. John's "Cruella De Vil" track, which is much better than the original from the animated version.7,5/10

It is very true that Glenn Close steals the show as Cruella DeVil. She talks, looks, and acts exactly like a live action version of her should. The car, the costumes, the house, everything about her character is wonderfully done. It's needless to say that she deserved that golden globe nomination. The set and costume designs are great. Cruella's house and the old wear house where they wanna do the skinning is perfect, and also the fashion house, the house of DeVil. The fur coats and fashion designs are incredible, it's better in 102 Dalmatians but it's still great here, Cruella's clothing in damn near every scene was spot on perfect. Joely Richardson was very good and very fitting for the character of Anita. And so was Rodger. The movie is very reminiscent of the 1961 animated feature, except of course they can't have her henchmen crashing into her car at the end, but other than that it's pretty similar. I would suggest this movie to families everywhere because it really is great family fun. There's no surprises and the characters are very cartoon like, but really you have to expect that with a film like this. 7/10 for 101 Dalmatians (1996).

I remember when this came out in theatres I was a little skeptical being a huge fan of the Disney original but after watching it I will say glen close played a spot on version of cruela deville. the movie really followed the storyline of the original quite well and was entertaining by the great cast they used to keep the theme of the original. I actually found myself watching it a few times even with my kids and was happy to see for once that a remake didn't just go with the flow but put some heart in the film that make a realistic remake for once fit the same likability as the original. Definitely one I would watch again and again and recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the Disney classic!

I remember going and seeing this with my Kindergarden class when this came out and I must say I really enjoyed it. Glenn Close gave a wonderful performance as Cruella De Vil and I don't think that Disney could of casted a better actress. Joely Richardson and Jeff Daniels both gave good performances as Anita and Roger and I also thought that Hugh Laurie and Mark Williams gave good performances as Jasper and Horace. The plot was really good and seemed to live up to the original 1961 cartoon. I liked that they made Roger a video game designer and that he designed Cruella as the villain for his new video game at the end. There were lots of funny scenes from both the dogs and some other animals that appeared in the film. In all a good film that the whole family can enjoy and John Hughes did a good job writing the screenplay just like he did for some other of his films such as Home Alone. All in all 101 Dalmatians is a great family movie that anyone can love. 10 out of 10.
