As an impressionable youth I learned from this movie that fur coats should be frowned upon, but I also picked up smoking slim cigarettes with a long holder so I think it's a bit of a wash.

Entertaining but unremarkable Disney film, save for its memorable villainess.

Definitely a good pro-wrestling style family movie. Evil but competent villain, dangerous but bumbling stooges "bumping" round, adorable puppies as the Babyfaces. So many nice "spots" (heh) and close calls. It's funny when the baddies get hurt - as it should be. Big families are good. Single people in their 40s (?) have something wrong with them and shouldn't be trusted. Good wins in the end. Short n sweet. Solid.

Cruella de Ville is the kind of villain that has a real impact on you when you're a kid, but when you grow up you realize how absurd the idea of someone being so relentlessly malicious really is. One Hundred and One Dalmations does have a pretty good story, but once you get past a certain age you just can't watch it as a serious movie anymore.

This Disney flick is packed with way too much "Awww, aren't these dogs cute?" filler and obvious evil goon bumbling. As a certified dog hater, I had little to no interest in the protagonists. I wanted Cruella to skin those bitches and make herself a new hat or something.

A very good Disney film. It's a bit too cutesy for adults, perhaps, but it'll definitely be exciting the first time you watch it anyway. The dogs are impossible not to root for, the villain is unequivocally villainous and the story is, while weirdly paced and pretty cliched even for Disney's standards, engaging. Great voice acting and lovely animation. Very charming.

Not one of my favorite Disney films, but it's not bad, either.

101 Dalmatians is a thoroughly enjoyable Disney classic that still remarkably re-introduces itself and entertains new generations. Of all the Disney films that have animals as the central characters, this is definitely one of the most effective and enjoyable. And the infamous Cruella de Vil is one of the scariest and most memorable Disney villains. 101 Dalmatians may not entertain the whole family like the very best Disney films do time and time again, but children will certainly love this.

Has probably the best Disney villain, at least in the classic Disney library and that goes a long way in making up for the deficiencies of this film.

The whole idea of dalmation fur coats is very disturbing to me and I can't get past it enough to enjoy the movie.

A coat made out of Dalmatian fur. Really? Wouldn't the rare white Bengal tiger make for a better coat and a plot that made more sense than to make a coat out of dogs? Even if people could get around the fact that your coat looks and smells like a dog, why do you have to use these Dalmatians? It's not like Dalmatians are so rare or hard to breed that you can't have a Dalmatian mill on your property. ugh.

Not quite classic Disney for me, but still pretty good

As delightful as it is, I docked it one point because where on earth is Cruella de Vil going to wear this coat?

No one wants to say it, but Perdita's vagina was probably destroyed after 101 puppies came through the gates. Can dogs do kegels?

Didn't care much for this one. It isn't terrible, just not my favorite classic Disney.

Not one of Disney's best, but it's still a fun film with decent characters. Not a whole lot more to say.

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