Product Description:
DISC ONE: Unleashing every ounce of Disney magic and the biggest and cutest collection of puppies every brought to film, 101 DALMATIANS thrilled audiences of all ages with fast-paced adventure and comedy when this all-time classic puppy tale came to life as a worldwide box office sensation, starring Glenn Close as the diabolical dognapping Cruella De Vil. DISC TWO: In this brand-new, hilarious adventure, the audacious Oddball, the spotless Dalmatian puppy on a search for her rightful spots, and Waddlesworth, the wisecracking, delusional macaw who thinks he's a Rottweiler, lead a posse of puppies on a mission to outfox the wildly wicked ever-scheming Cruella De Vil (Glenn Close).

a woof and a wimper, 2007-10-18 In recent decades a new technology was made. A technology to make animals talk. No, animals did not REALLY talk. Movie producers used computers to make their mouths move to make it SEEM like they were talking. Then, like cartoons, the actors would be the "voice" of the animal.
What a fascinating technology! It was done in the movie "Babe". Babe the pig talked beautifully. It was done on "Incredible Journey". The technology made "Dr. Doolittle" with Eddie Murphy look so fine!
Now we have the remake of 101 Dalmatians, a cartoon where the dogs were the stars of the movie. They all talked and all had wonderful unique characters all their own.
.....So why the heck didn't Disney use the same technology in this movie as they used in all the others? Why did NOT want to make those dogs talk?
Not only does this make the movie less interesting to watch but it mutilate the integrity of the movie as well. The dogs themselves were supposed to be the stars of the movie, not the humans. The animals THEMSELVES were supposed to rescue the puppies, not Scotland Yard.
Talk about taking the ice cream out of the ice cream cone!
Well, there IS one bright spot to the movie. Glenn Close DID do an excellent job as Cruella Di Vil. Although if the dogs only talked her character would have been even more funny she still stood out. She is the reason to see the movie.
... and it's nice to see Hugh Laurie again on the big screen.
