In fact, even in a children's film, I usually am more attracted to creative and unpredictable. It is neither creative nor unpredictable and it is cute. And cute, I found this time really works. The human actors, Jeff Daniels, Joely Richardson and Glenn Close as Cruella DeVil, create characters that make the script playful and pop with energy, but it is the animals, Dalmatians and all of the others that make this film a full fledge riot. As a result, I recommend this film for child and adult alike.
Laughter is good for more than the soul.
In fact, they almost kill their respective masters as they chase one another across hill and dale until the fateful moment when all four fall in love. And on the day the puppies are born, Cruella, in search of the perfect Dalmatian coat, busts in and makes an offer for the puppies. They are not for sale and as she leaves in a complete huff, she vows to get even. And several months later, she does. Cruella has several associates steal the puppies, adding them to her collection.
