One Hundred and One Ways to Amuse Me? Probably not.

Rating: 5/10 (30 April 2016)

One Hundred and One Dalmatians is another Disney film that I don't get the rating for. A 7.2 is fine, but I have no idea how 98% of critics on Rotten Tomatoes could give this a Fresh review. I was slightly engaged at some parts, such as Perdita and Pongo acting aggressive towards Horace and Jasper, but the majority of the film is bland and nearly repulsive to my tastes, having adult humor that doesn't work (I was almost cringing when Roger called Pongo an "old rascal", as it was much too swift for Disney to have gone in that direction when it wouldn't be developed until the next 11 years), action that, if I was just seeing it like a TV show, would not keep my attention to the screen, a below average use of cuteness to convey something else (it's just present on its own), and songs that are above average but still forgettable. If you like the Dalmatian breed, then you can disregard parts of this review (I am more of a Bichon-Poodle fan), but this is otherwise a movie that you should give lots of thoughts about before seeing it.
