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.

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.

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.

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.

Cute and charming Disney animation feels like a broad riff on LADY AND THE TRAMP in many ways – though the square, somewhat flat animation seems to mark the beginning of the end of Disney's beautiful work from the 50s, this still makes up for it in terms of its characters – film is stolen by Gerson's wonderfully vicious Cruella De Vil who might be the best villain Disney ever produced, at least until Ursula came along! Great fun and highly enjoyable.

A bright spot in the Disney canon that introduced the use of the Xerox machine in the hand-drawn animation biz, eliminating the need for cel inking. "Dalmations" also contains some nice social satire, seding up 1960's TV with a sweet viciousness not often seen in Walt's ouevure.

101 Dalmatians is a classic animated movie from the Disney company. With great music, a solid plot, and wonderful voice acting, this movie is still a great movie to watch with the kids. I never noticed the WWII allegory that is present throughout the film but I also haven't watched this movie since I was a small tyke. Watching it with adult eyes was a treat because I was able to enjoy all of the parts mentioned above but the reveal of the allegory behind it all was also very satisfying.

The beginning is rich with a fun, jazzy European 60's style to it, but the majority of the movie moves at a breakneck pace and for a kids movie it gets a little overwhelming and ultimately unfulfilling. Sure, it's well done and Cruella is a great villain, but overall 101 Dalmatians isn't anything above merely good by Disney standards. This isn't the worst of its kind but its far from the best.

I'm told I used to watch this so much when I was little, my mother bought a second videotape for fear I'd wear out the one we had. Since then I had forgotten almost everything about the film until I popped it back in recently. What a crazy feel of nostalgia and joy reliving this wonderful film. The story is casual, but at the same time makes you worry about all those puppies. Also, I can appreciate the animation now that I'm older. It's probably the most visually interesting Disney film.

For some reason, "101 Dalmations" always slips my mind. And it's not because it's forgettable. I think it's just because it's in a very different style from other Disney movies. It's not magical in any way and really only has one song (well, two if you count the "Canine Crunchies" commercial song). Cruella de Vil is definitely an underrated Disney villain. She's so delightfully maniacal. This is a winner.

as far as disney movies go, it's pretty average. i'll admit i was a bit on the edge of my seat when the puppies were trying to get away. but i'm not the biggest fan of "animal movies" in general and just couldn't get too into how the dogs were way smarter than the people. cruella was also a bit simple as a villain; she just screamed around, and in the end did nothing. it's a good film for sure, but i can't say one of my favourites.

Of the Walt era animated films, this is certainly one of the tamer and uninspired efforts, especially on the heels of Lady and the Tramp (and Sleeping Beauty). The animal animations are great (particularly the ear scratching with the back leg) and some of the second act sequences and characters are quite fun. Probably a thumbs down without Cruella, who Disney managed to retcon and ruin 60 years later.

The intro scene with its charming hand-drawn animation and warm voice-over narration that turns out to be the dog and not the man is a great beginning, and sets the tone for what is an overwhelmingly cozy and satisfying film. The entire cast of characters-from the manically evil Cruella De Vil to the absent-minded pipe-puffing Roger, and all the animals and henchman in between-are all wonderfully memorable, and the exciting storyline sets it apart from other similarly endowed Disney classics.

(2014-15 Disneython #11:) Not an ultra-classic to me personally, but very charming and nostalgic. Cruella De Vil, while ultimately just really pathetically obsessed with killing some dogs, has an iconic look and intro song. The climactic stealth mission gets a little old but has some tense bits. Thin but likable protagonists. I really like the film's cool early-1900s British atmosphere and even the rough animation, which oozes character. And props to Disney for avoiding the evil cat cliche!

Walt Disney (the man himself) wanted to reach and entertain the inner kids of adult viewers. This film doesn't always do that, though it may make actual children laugh and squee for dogs some times. Plot reminded me of Home Alone movies at times, which is not a compliment, though this is lightyears better than them.
