In a Disney animation classic, Dalmatian Pongo is tired of his bachelor-dog life. He spies lovely Perdita and maneuvers his master, Roger, into meeting Perdita's owner, Anita. The owners fall in love and marry, keeping Pongo and Perdita together too. After Perdita gives birth to a litter of 15 puppies, Anita's old school friend Cruella De Vil wants to buy them all. Roger declines her offer, so Cruella hires the criminal Badun brothers to steal them -- so she can have a fur coat.

Critics Consensus

With plenty of pooches and a memorable villain (Cruella De Vil), this is one of Disney's most enduring, entertaining animated films.

Sight & Sound

The fairly long in the tooth child, through whose eyes most Disney dramas, live or otherwise, are seen, seems to have grown up Just a little; a fact which should please adults while not offending the young.

The Dissolve

However much the film breaks with Disney tradition, it's still a winning effort that mixes cuteness with dry wit in the service of a fast-paced, emotionally charged adventure tale.

Rated: 4/5

Daily Telegraph (UK)

This loveable romp evokes a gloomy, starlit London of Georgian streets and quietly grand parks.

Rated: 4/5

Finding clever ways to inject style and personality into the film's animation, characters, and writing, the film creates an entertaining viewing experience.

Sunday Times (UK)

Among the many contributions of Disney and his team to the cinema, this is perhaps the strangest: they have made us watch with heart in mouth the adventures of beings who exist only as the projection of photographs and colored drawings.

"One Hundred and One Dalmatians" is a nice, family movie mainly featuring stolen puppies and taking a whole village to rescue them. We definitely feel for the family, and the adventurous stakes are felt. The characters are distinct visually and personality-wise, as each of the puppies are named after a trait. Cruella De Vil is an iconic villain with a catchy theme song and luscious fur coat to boot.

A total classic, absolutely well-told story with catchy music, humor, smart writing and also some touching moments. The only small objection is art style which is different and not my preferred (though still quite good).

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

One Hundred and One Dalmatians has unique animation and a charming story. The movie is highly rewatchable and enjoyable, mostly due to the adorable puppies and sinister Cruella.

A movie for dog lovers. This movie is the dawn of Disney’s Xerox style of animation, which I am not a fan of, and that lasted until “The Little Mermaid” in 1989. Cruella de Vil is a great villain with a great design, but she is the most memorable part of the movie. The story is simple, and that might be my problem with it, that it is too simple.
