One Hundred and One Dalmatians

ActionAdventureAnimationComedyFamily79 min

When Pongo and Perdita’s puppies are stolen, the two Dalmatians race across London to find them before Cruella De Vil can turn them into a fur coat. Rod Taylor is Pongo, the alert father who sets the search in motion through the city’s canine grapevine, while Betty Lou Gerson’s Cruella arrives all sharp angles, cigarette smoke, and extravagant cruelty. What starts with one missing litter quickly opens into a larger rescue, as Pongo and Perdita follow a trail of clues, evade a pair of hapless henchmen, and rely on an entire network of animals to track the puppies down.
