	102 Dalmatians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		102 Dalmatians is a 2000 live-action film, produced by The Walt Disney Company and starring Glenn Close as the villainous Cruella de Vil.
		It is a sequel to 1996's 101 Dalmatians, itself a live-action remake of the 1961 Disney animated feature One Hundred and One Dalmatians.
		Kevin and his girlfriend Chloe, who happens to be Cruella's parole officer, get the idea of bringing their plight to the people through the press, but media reports of the shelter's problems attract an unlikely benefactor — Cruella.

	Review: 102 Dalmatians (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Considering that the average member of the movie's primary audience (children) is notoriously undiscriminating about his or her viewing habits, 102 Dalmatians will almost certainly turn a profit, but this poor excuse for entertainment is as pointless and offensive as Blair Witch 2.
		102 Dalmatians is crass commercialism at its worst.
		Meanwhile, cute Alice Evans and likable Ioan Gruffudd are stuck in the bland, thankless roles of the two-legged protagonists.

	101 Dalmatians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		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 Perdy has just given birth to a litter of 15 puppies.

	102 Dalmatians (2000) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		While 102 Dalmatians won’t be confused for a brilliant piece of filmmaking, it largely avoids the painful trappings of other movies that focus on adorable subjects and can be a mildly enjoyable experience.
		I suppose 102 Dalmatians could have taken this route, but since that would mean that the sequel would focus on dogs who try to make Cruella into a coat, the possibilities seemed limited.
		Nonetheless, 102 Dalmatians offered inoffensive entertainment that rarely provoked much reaction from me in either direction; I didn’t love it, but I thought it was watchable and moderately entertaining.

	Cruella Unleashed / Glenn Close steals the show in Disney's '102 Dalmatians'
		"102 Dalmatians" is the kind of holiday movie that makes people wish they were kids so they might like it a little better.
		"102 Dalmatians," which opens today, is the sequel to the live-action "101 Dalmatians" from 1996.
		The film's title is justified by the fact that 102 dalmatians are needed for Cruella and Le Pelt to succeed in their diabolical plan -- to make a stylish outfit, made up entirely of dalmatian skin.

		With 102 Dalmatians, the Disney studios have proven that when it comes to going to the dogs, more is definitely not the merrier.
		France's most popular export besides brie has long since turned into a caricature of himself, and in 102 Dalmatians the producers milk that realization for all it's worth–Le Pelt likes to refer to the furry little critters as "poopies," par example (and ad nauseum).
		The finesses of the script (attributed to four screenwriters no less, and far removed from anything Dodie Smith ever dreamed up) are quickly dispensed with, since all it takes for a paroled Cruella to be shaken from her years of successful aversion therapy in the slammer is the tolling of Big Ben (?).

	102 Dalmatians (2000)
		This Dalmatians begins as the dastardly De Vil is released from a corrective program which has turned her desire to skin pups into a desire to help them.
		And while the previous Dalmatians was peppered with an abundance of animals — horses, sheep, squirrels, raccoons, and nearly as many bunnies as puppies — 102 is surprisingly low in its cuteness quotient, with very few adorable antics, and minimal canine activity until the final escape.
		The pivotal problem plaguing both live-action Dalmatians is that the dogs themselves don't talk — a concern seemingly addressed with the addition of Waddlesworth, who serves as an interpreter for the audience and adds some much-needed animal perspective and humor.

	102 Dalmatians
		The fun in the story is in watching Glenn Close as Ella as she attempts to control all her normal nasty urges.
		The title of 102 Dalmatians is the result of De Vil needing just that, 102 Dalmatians, to make a coat complete with hood from the pelts of the 102 dogs.
		With the help of a parrot who thinks he is a dog, real live dogs used in the action scenes and the over the top portrayal of Cruella, 102 Dalmatians will leave you panting and begging for more.

		A far cry from rewashed copies of the original, 102 Dalmatians is a humorous ride into the world of Cruella, with plenty of faux fur and spots to go around.
		After 101 DALMATIANS, thousands of people adopted adorable Dalmatian pups, only to find that once they grew up, they were smart, stubborn, demanding, and required a TON of exercise.
		102 Dalmatians is indeed a delightful sequel to the original movie.

	102 Dalmatians
		After three years in prison, Cruella De Vil (Close) is judged to have paid her debt to society and is set free, as she pledges to have nothing to do with animal fur (especially dogs) ever again.
		De Vil claims the purest of intentions, it seems the shelter is housing a large number of dalmatians, and in cahoots with mad fashion designer Monsieur Le Pelt (Grard Depardieu), she plans to turn the puppies into haute couture.
		102 Dalmatians was the first live-action feature for director Kevin Lima, who previously helmed two animated features for Disney, A Goofy Movie and Tarzan.

	Movie Review: "102 Dalmatians"
		Cruella is released under one condition; if she goes back to her old, fur-stealing ways, she will have give her entire fortune to dog shelters.
		The new owner of that lovable Dalmatian, Dipstick, is devoted dog lover, Chloe Simon (Alice Evans).
		The Dalmatians are irresistible, doing amazing stunts and being action heroes in their own right.

	Parent Previews: 102 Dalmatians
		After spending a few years behind bars where she has undergone extensive psychotherapy, we are led to believe Cruella DeVil (Glenn Close), a convicted dog-napper (and participant in the illegal fur trade), has had a significant change of heart and has become a raving dog-lover.
		But Cloe Simon (Alice Evans), her parole officer, is convinced the puppy poacher can't change her spots--probably because one of the dogs Cloe owns is a Dalmatian named Dipstick, who (coincidentally) was one of Cruella's captured canines in the last movie.
		Sexual moments were limited to a fashion show featuring a brief shot of a model wearing a fur bikini, and Cruella's wardrobe throughout the film, that is as uptight as her character.

	SCREEN IT! PARENTAL REVIEW: 102 DALMATIANS
		Her reservations stem from the fact that her dog, Dipstick, was one of the formerly abducted pups and now has three Dalmatian puppies of his own, Little Dipper, Domino and Oddball, the latter of whom is void of any spots.
		The villains obviously have bad attitudes for wanting to kidnap the Dalmatian pups and skin them for their spotted coats.
		A scene where Cruella mentally snaps back into her old self and briefly sees everything and everyone covered in Dalmatian spots (in a somewhat surreal scene) may be confusing or a bit unsettling for some kids.

		When "101 Dalmatians" was made as an animated film it was a success across the board.
		She is assigned to a parole office named Chloe (Alice Evans), who loves Dalmatians, who does not believe for a moment Cruella has changed--reformed.
		Cruella is, and will remain, a sinful delight with her bigger-than-life self and her self-serving excess, from her home, with (dog) fur-storage rooms and dungeons, hidden doors, and traps, to her hair--half fl, half white, to her nails and sadistic clownish makeup.

		You might think watching Glenn Close perform in her Cruella De Vil drag is scary enough for little kids, but the makers of 102 Dalmatians have now doubled the yucky-stakes.
		A high fashion designer, Le Pelt wears outrageous furrish outfits and agrees to help Cruella make her long-desired coat out of 102 Dalmatian "pooo-pays" — that’s his "French" pronunciation, and yes, he repeats it many times, like it’s a great funny joke.
		While the film is essentially a replay of the first one, the children in the preview audience cooed on cue for the adorable pooo-pays and giggled at the parrot who thinks he’s a Rottweiler (voiced by Eric Idle), but otherwise seemed bored by the talky, overwrought plot.

	102 DALMATIANS/ **
		I have a friend who wonders why the makers of "102 Dalmatians" created a new plot, when they could have adapted the sequel book to "One Hundred and One Dalmatians".
		She may be on to something -- there's something charming about the story of the novel, in which the dogs have spellbinding power over humans and there's an epic climax in Trafalgar Square.
		The plot of "102 Dalmatians" is so contemptible because before Cruella turns nasty and goes back to her old dog-napping ways, we get a rehabilitated version of her who says everything in forced tones, as if quoting, has a half-fl, half-white Eraserhead haircut, walks in awkward jolts and glares with possessed eyes.

	102 Dalmatians - a Movie Review of The Phantom Tollbooth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		I can't imagine that you don't know the plot--obscenely rich woman (played with gusto by Glenn Close) wants nothing more than a spotted fur coat, steals 102 Dalmatians to realize dream, foiled by smart, irrepressibly cute puppies.
		The only variations on the theme this time around are a talking parrot who can't fly, a Dalmatian who doesn't have any spots, and a bland man and woman who must find each other so as not to afflict other potential mates.
		All of this is set up in the first 15 minutes, and the conclusion is self-evident, so the only question is whether the journey will be enjoyable.

		The odd fact about this is that the most popular character was Cruella De Vil who came up in a recent poll as the most memorable movie villain.
		The original live-action “101 Dalmatians” starred Glenn Close as Cruella and it also starred Jeff Daniels and Joely Richardson.

		The first live-action 101 Dalmatians couldn’t decide whether it was about the outrageous Cruella or the winsome dogs, resulting in two disparate sensibilities uncomfortably fused together.
		Its sequel, 102 Dalmatians, is a surefooted Disney concoction, easily blending canine affection and human romance with thrills and humor (director Kevin Lima’s previous film was the boisterous animated Tarzan).
		102 Dalmatians opens on a fascinating note: Cruella De Vil has been rehabilitated — actually reprogrammed — by a Dr. Pavlov (one of the little jokes snuck in for adults).

	102 Dalmatians film review
		The former fur fancier is a changed woman thanks to months of intensive psychiatric treatment, which has conditioned her to feel nothing but affection for our four-legged friends.
		Only this time, she needs 102 of the little darlings, so she will have enough fur for a hood for her spotty coat.
		Retreading the same paw-prints as its affecting predecessor, 102 Dalmatians pushes the cute mutts and cartoon japes to the fore, adding a generous dash of pantomime villainy in the svelte form of Close's larger-than-life villainess.

		The charmless sequel to the live-action version of Disney's most charming animated feature (itself taken from Dodie Smith's lovely little novel "The Hundred and One Dalmatians") gets underway when imprisoned fur fetishist Cruella is conditioned, à la Alex in "A Clockwork Orange," to be revolted by her former craving.
		Her parole officer, a bland young thing played by Alice Evans, has, as it turns out, a litter of Dalmatian pups sired by one of the dogs Cruella attempted to turn into a fur coat in the previous installment.
		Of course, Cruella's cure proves temporary, she goes back to her "dognapping in the name of couture" ways, she targets the Dalmatian pups as her new raw material and the bland parole officer finds an equally bland mate, Ioan Gruffudd, in the young fellow who runs the shelter saved by Cruella's forbearance.
