101 Dalmatians is a live-action film produced by Walt Disney Pictures in 1996. It is a remake of the 1961 animated film One Hundred and One Dalmatians (which in turn was based on Dodie Smith's 1956 novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians). It stars Glenn Close as the villainous Cruella de Vil, and Jeff Daniels as Roger, the owner of the 101 dalmatians. Unlike the novel and earlier adaptations, none of the animal characters talk. A sequel, 102 Dalmatians, was released in 2000. Image File history File links This is a DVD cover. ...

Plot summary

Set in present-day London, Roger Dearly is an American designer of computer games who shares his home with his pet Dalmatian, Pongo. One day, Roger takes Pongo for a walk and the dog sets his eyes on a beautiful female Dalmatian named Penny. Penny likes Pongo as much as he likes her, and thankfully Penny's mistress, fashion designer Anita Campbell-Green, is quite taken with Roger. Romance blossoms between the human and canine couples, and Roger and Anita tie the knot. Anita works for Cruella de Vil, an intense fashion maven with a lust for fur.

Inspired by her dogs, Anita finds herself working up a design for a fur coat made with spotted fur, and Cruella leaps on the idea of making garments out of real Dalmatians. But where to get the animals? Cruella has two nasty but not especially intelligent henchmen Jasper and Horace, who have been known to kill the odd endangered species at Madame’s request. Now they are sent on a mission to round up Dalmatians, and when they fall a bit short of their goal, it comes to Cruella's attention that Penny has just given birth to a litter of 15 dalmatian puppies. Hastily offering the couple a decent price for the newborn puppies, the couple refuses to take it. Flying into a maniacal rage, she fires Anita and vows to get even. She gets Jasper and Horace to steal the puppies, which are taken to Cuella's ancient estate, De Vil Manor, out in the country, where they should be waiting for a man named Skinner, who works on taxidermy. The Siberian Tiger is a subspecies of tiger that are critically endangered. ...

With the help of the other dogs and animals scattered throughout London, the puppies manage to outiwit Jasper and Horace and escape to a farm, where their parents have been called to wait. But shortly after, Cruella de Vil shows up, and tries to retrieve them; she ends up getting her coat covered in molasses. The 101 Dalmatians manage to get home by the Metropolitan Police Service, who then arrested Miss de Vil and her henchmen and send them to prison. P.S.[Distributed by Buena Vista Pictures, Produced by Walt Disney Pictures.] The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) is the name currently used by the territorial police force which is responsible for Greater London other than the City of London (the responsibility of the City of London Police). ...
