✳ BIG ADVENTURES · JUST FOR LAUGHS
101 Dalmatians.
A very large family needs a rescue.
Dalmatian parents Pongo and Perdita search for their stolen puppies after fashion executive Cruella de Vil targets them for a fur coat. A network of helpful animals challenges her henchmen's plans.

Real dogs and Glenn Close's extravagant villain provide a different flavor from the animation. The animal rescue remains straightforward enough to follow through the comic detours.
BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
A villain explicitly plans to kill puppies for their fur. Animal kidnapping, threats, confinement, dangerous chases and painful slapstick may upset sensitive pet lovers.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
