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.

It’s a good movie, but not my favorite. Rolly is kinda annoying when he keeps saying “I’m Hungry”. I like Lady and the Tramp better.

Slightly more sophisticated than Walt's other films. May bore young kids. It's really nothing special, but not a bad way to kick off the xerox era. It's good if you want something simple and cute, but it's not for everybody.

"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.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
