Summary

Disney's classic animated adventure based on the novel by Dodie Smith, featuring the voice of Rod Taylor. When love blossoms between Londoners Roger and Anita, the same also occurs for their dalmatian dogs Pongo and Perdita. But when the two pooches have a litter of puppies, Anita's old schoolfriend Cruella De Vil is determined to have them at any cost. Her purpose: to make a coat from their pelts.

A star rating of 5 out of 5.

Andrew Collins

Based on the novel by Dodie Smith, this hardy perennial from Disney rivals the studio's The Aristocats for its deft mix of cute talking animals and largely foolish humans. While there's little faulting the draughtsmanship and personalities of the dalmatians - proud parents Pongo and Perdita and their 15-strong brood, not to mention the 84 additional kidnapped pups - the two-legged foils are vital to the story's dynamic: monstrous, fur-loving villainess Cruella De Vil and her hapless cockney henchmen Horace and Jasper. The "twilight bark" sequence, in which London's dogs communicate in woofs, brings poignancy to what is otherwise a thrilling caper, created when the Disney artists were at the height of their powers.
