Best movie ever!

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Blistering performances.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I think the series is a brilliant addition to the whole 101 Dalmatians franchise. It blends together all the different versions of the story: the live-action film, the animated film, and the original Dodie Smith book. My favourite characters from the show are Lucky, because he's brave, Two-Tone, because she's lovely, and Cruella, because she is an interesting villain. I'm not saying this show is a failure, I'm saying that what they have all done on making the show has paid off very successfully. I have seen just about 7 episodes of it in a week and not the whole show. It will be lovely if Disney allowed the show to be released on DVD, even though Disney haven't decided on that yet. I enjoyed it, and I'm sure all fans of the show did as well. I enjoyed this show and I give it an excellent 10/10.

This is probably my favorite show, I have all the episodes on tape, I have all but 101 Dalmatians 2: Patch's London adventure. I don't care what that other dude says; I am 12 and I watch this show, people laugh at me for watching it but I don't care. The greatest Disney creation was 101 Dalmatians, Disney and Dodie Smith were were the greatest people in the world to do all this. You can call me Gipdac, I am on a mission from god to make the world remember 101 Dalmatians, join me my fellow 101 Dalmatians brothers, go to my Cadpig fan site and let us vote for a DVD set, let us black out the non-believers and fight for it! If you want to join me: Gipdac, and the other 101's, E- mail me at jnj1@sbcglobal.net!

Hey, I like it a lot!As a kid, I grew up with the original animated 1961 movie and I liked it plenty. I also paid for the 1996 live-action movie (with Glenn Close as the diabolical Cruella DeVil) and I own the DVD of "101 Dalmatians 2: Patch's London Adventure". I've enjoyed them all. The only "Dalmatians" film I haven't seen (thus far) is "102 Dalmatians". (would anyone tip me off if it's any good? Or should I just not bother?)However, my personal favorite "101D" medium is Disney's "101 Dalmatians: the Series". It combines many themes of the existing material (Dodie Smith book, 1961 and 1996 movies). But still does its own things, too.Our main pups include brave Lucky, who gets a strong personality mirroring his character in the book, lovable Rolly, the gourmand of the pups, and sweet little Cadpig, who is the true runt of the litter. Also there is Spot the chicken, who longs to be a dog. I find them all extremely amiable and enjoyable to watch. They are usually foiling Cruella's schemes for their land, or outwitting Lt. Pug (I'll get to him later), or sneaking into Grutely, or...just having fun, making a very likable show.I also like the majority of the other characters. There's Tripod, the resident athlete dalmatian pup, he has only has three legs and is a positive "handicapped" character. Patch is designed after his character in the book (he's supposed to be large). Pongo and Perdy are much like their characters in the original animated movie. Lucky's nemesis Mooch the Mutt is like all the jerks you knew in school. Two-Tone is really cute (she even has a pierced ear). Roger and Anita are written like their characters in the live-action movie, they were much more involving in that film. Of course, Cruella DeVil is now their neighbor, constantly scheming to take over Dearly Farm. Even Cruella can now have funny moments. The one-shot characters are also charming and likable (a popular example is Lucky's friend Blaze the German Shepard pup from "Dog's Best Friend"). The only character I just don't like is Lt. Pug. He feels rather tacked on, and the show never benefits from him: just a weak link.I personally like the modern theme (I really just don't need a "That '60s Show"), and the American setting (evidence is through American flags in many places, cars driving on the right-hand side of the road, American Southerners, etc). It makes the characters more relatable, and the little truths the main pups discover in their lives lend a Simpson-esque feel. The focus on these modern-day puppies reminds me of "Tiny Toon Adventures" (another show I loved and still love. ^_^)So, yes, I love this show. I believe it is better than the movies. It's just too good. Giving this show a chance on Toon Disney, I'm glad I took the time to see it. If the guys at Disney are listening, I'd just love to see more of this show. I'll recommend it to anyone. When the good points can override the flaws easily, and can even outdo a favorite film from my childhood, how can I refuse? Of course, you can't go wrong with so many cute puppies.It receives an enthusiastic 101/10.

I used to watch this show along with Aladdin all the time as a child. One time the Dearly family decided to move into General Smedley's old farm but Rolly, Lucky, and Cadpig didn't want to. Another time the main puppies decided to adopt an elephant that ran away from the circus. In another episode some pups decided to help out pug due to the fact there was a mean dog. Another time Lucky turned into a jerk to get somebody to be his partner on a game show. Another time Roly fell in love with Dumpling. This show can still be found on Toon Disney.
