Pongo and Perdita have a litter of 15 dalmatian puppies. Cruella De Vil takes a fancy to the puppies and tries to buy them from their human owners, Roger and Anita. Cruella wants to get ahold of those puppies, as well as more puppies, to make herself a lovely dalmatian skin coat.

Two dalmations rescue their puppies from becoming fur coats.

The first ten minutes are charming, sweet, distinctively stylized and absolutely wonderful. Then Cruella De Vil shows up and it's like a completely different movie - one I couldn't care less about.

Roger Radcliffe (Ben Wright) and his wife, Anita (Lisa Davis), raise two dalmatians, Pongo (Rod Taylor) and Perdita (Cate Bauer). After Perdita delivers a litter of fifteen puppies, Anita's former schoolmate, Cruella De Vil

(Betty Lou Gerson) demands the Radcliffe's sell their small pups to her. Pongo and Perdita soon realize that they have added eighty-six additional puppies along with their own that they must care for. This begins the adventure to save the 101 dalmatians from the cruel Cruella De Vil. Highly recommend.
