101 Dalmations
101 Dalmations (coloring pages)
On March 4, 2008 Disney released the 101 Dalmations Platinum version.
FIRST TIME OUT OF THE DISNEY VAULT IN NEARLY A DECADE! Walt Disney's original classic 101 DALMATIANS has charmed audiences for generations with its irresistible tail-wagging stars, memorable story and wonderful blend of humor and adventure. Now, with spectacular new bonus features including a "Virtual Dalmatians" game, 101 Pop-Up Trivia Facts and an all-new digital restoration, this beloved animated masterpiece shines like never before in a special 2-disc Platinum Edition.
101 Dalmatians (known as 101 in Japan) is a live-action film produced by Walt Disney Pictures in 1996. It is a remake of the 1961 animated film One Hundred and One Dalmatians (which in turn was based on Dodie Smith's 1956 novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians). It stars Glenn Close as the villainous Cruella de Vil, and Jeff Daniels as Roger, the owner of the 101 dalmatians. Unlike the novel and earlier adaptations, none of the animal characters talk. A sequel, 102 Dalmatians, was released in 2000.
Plot summary
Set in present-day London, Roger Dearly is an American designer of computer games who shares his home with his pet Dalmatian, Pongo. One day, Roger takes Pongo for a walk and the dog sets his eyes on a beautiful female Dalmatian named Perdy. Perdy likes Pongo as much as he likes her, and thankfully Perdy's owner, fashion designer Anita Campbell-Green, is quite taken with Roger. Romance blossoms between the human and canine couples, and Roger and Anita tie the knot. Anita works for Cruella de Vil, an intense fashion maven with a great love for fur.
Inspired by her dogs, Anita finds herself working up a design for a fur coat made with spotted fur, and Cruella leaps on the idea of making garments out of real Dalmatians. But where to get the animals? Cruella has two nasty but not especially intelligent henchmen, Jasper and Horace, who have been known to kill the odd endangered species at Madame’s request. Now they are sent on a mission to round up Dalmatians, and when they fall a bit short of their goal, it comes to Cruella's attention that Perdy has just given birth to a litter of 15 Dalmatian puppies. Hastily offering the couple a decent price for the newborn puppies, the couple refuses to take it. Flying into a maniacal rage, she fires Anita and vows to get even. She gets Jasper and Horace to steal the puppies, which are taken to Cruella's ancient estate, De Vil Manor, out in the country, where they should be waiting for a ruthless old man named Mr. Skinner, who works on taxidermy.
With the help of the other dogs and animals scattered throughout London, the puppies manage to outwit Jasper and Horace and escape to a farm, where their parents have been called to wait. But shortly after, Cruella de Vil shows up, and tries to retrieve them; she ends up getting her coat covered in molasses. The 101 Dalmatians manage to get home by the Metropolitan Police Service, who then arrest Miss de Vil and her henchmen and send them to prison.
