Full of boundless adventure and boisterous fun, Disney's 17th animated masterpiece is the original film classic starring 101 of the world's most lovable, huggable Dalmatians and their hilariously evil captor, Cruella De Vil!
A charming London neighbourhood is home to Roger and Anita, whose beloved Dalmatians, Pongo and Perdita, have become the proud parents of 15 puppies. But when Cruella and her bumbling henchmen, Horace and Jasper, unexpectedly appear, the pups soon disappear - along with every other Dalmatian puppy in town! Now Pongo and Perdita must rally their animal friends and use the power of the 'Twilight Bark' to find Cruella's secret hideaway and free the puppies. Featuring the unforgettable toe-tapping song Â"Cruella De Vil, 101 DALMATIANS is one of the most cherished and sought after Disney classics of all time - and among the last films to bear the personal touch of Walt Disney.
DVD Special Features:
• 101 Pop-Up Trivia Facts
• Virtual Dalmatians
• Music Video

Product reviews...
As with Aristocats, this is one of the great classics that will continue to be loved for many more years, and thanks to modern technology, still plays with the same clear, crisp quality I remember from back when I was a kid.
Being a double disc set, there were more bonus features with 101 Dalmatians than with Aristocats, but some of them were quite similarÂ- for example, the virtual adopt a puppy game (although I found this version is slightly better than the kitten one), and the Â"fun with language gameÂ" (which I found rather boring, but young kids may enjoy it more). But there were also a couple of different bits I rather enjoyedÂ- like the Â"Cruella De VilÂ" music video by Selena Gomez (didn-t think much of the music video itself, but I definitely liked the new version of the song), the pop-up trivia facts, and the Â"puppy profilerÂ" game.
If you-re stuck inside on a wet afternoon, then this is a great movie to keep the kids entertained, especially when they-ll probably quite happily spend ages playing with all the extras as well. Another MUST for the kids- collection, and definitely a good contender for your own if you enjoy the occasional kids- movie, or just enjoy Walt Disney!!
