'''''101 Dalmatians''''' is a {{fy|1996}} [[live-action]] film produced by [[Walt Disney Pictures]]. It is a [[remake]] of the {{fy|1961}} [[animation|animated film]] [[One Hundred and One Dalmatians]] (which was based on [[Dodie Smith]]'s 1956 novel ''[[The Hundred and One Dalmatians]]''). It stars [[Glenn Close]] as the [[villain]]ous [[Cruella de Vil]], and [[Jeff Daniels (actor)|Jeff Daniels]] as Roger, the owner of the 101 [[dalmatian (dog)|dalmatian]]s. Pongo, Perdita, and the 99 Puppies are all played by real-life [[dalmatian (dog)|dalmatian]] actors in this version, unlike in the [[One Hundred and One Dalmatians|1961 animated version]]. Also, none of the animals talk. ''[[102 Dalmatians]]'' was released in 2000 as its theatrical sequel.

Between this article and the article about the animated movie, which is the best difference??
Roger Dearly ([[Jeff Daniels]]) is an American [[video game]]s designer, who shares his home in [[London]] with his pet [[Dalmatian (dog)|dalmatian]], Pongo. One day Roger takes Pongo for a walk, and the dog sets his eyes on a beautiful female Dalmatian named Perdy. After a frantic chase through the streets of London, Roger and Pongo discover Perdy likes Pongo; and Perdy's owner, fashion designer Anita Campbell-Green ([[Joely Richardson]]), is taken with Roger when they meet in [[St. James Park]]. Romance blossoms between both human and canine couples and Roger and Anita walk down the aisle. Anita works for [[Cruella de Vil]] ([[Glenn Close]]), a fashion maven with a great love for [[cigarettes]] and [[fur]].

Anita becomes inspired by her [[dogs]] and designs a fur coat made with spotted fur, causing Cruella to leap on the idea of making garments out of actual Dalmatians. When Cruella learns that Perdy has given birth to fifteen Dalmatian [[puppies]] she offers the couple a decent price for the newborn puppies ("Two pounds per spot!"), but the couple refuses. Flying into a maniacal rage, she fires Anita and vows to get even. She has her henchmen, Jasper and Horace ([[Hugh Laurie]] and [[Mark Williams (actor)|Mark Williams]] respectively), steal the puppies and deliver them to her ancient estate, De Vil Mansion.

With the help of the other dogs and animals scattered throughout London, the puppies manage to outwit Jasper and Horace and escape to a farm where their parents have been called to wait. But shortly after, Cruella shows up and tries to retrieve them; she ends up having a pig sit on her and flatlet in her face, after which she falls into a vat of [[molasses]] (caused by [[raccoons]]) and is kicked into a pig pen by a [[horse]]. All of the Dalmatians get home by the [[Metropolitan Police Service]], who then arrest Cruella and her henchmen. The family adopts the other Dalmatians Cruella stole, bringing the total to 101. Roger designs a successful video game featuring dalmatian puppies as the [[protagonist]]s and Cruella as the villain, and they move to the English countryside with their millions.


:Neither A nor B, since there is no animated movie titled ''101 Dalmatians'', and thus no need for such disambiguation. The movie you are probably thinking of is titled ''[[One Hundred and One Dalmatians]]'', just like it says in the article and further down this talk page. --[[User:Paul A|Paul A]] 02:05, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Title clarification

Between this article and the article about the animated movie, which is the best difference??

Georgia guy 01:33, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Neither A nor B, since there is no animated movie titled 101 Dalmatians, and thus no need for such disambiguation. The movie you are probably thinking of is titled One Hundred and One Dalmatians, just like it says in the article and further down this talk page. --Paul A 02:05, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Title

The article has been moved to 101 Dalmatians (1996 film) and 101 Dalmatians changed to a disambig page. While the 1961 movie may have been released to theaters as One Hundred and One Dalmatians, it is also well known as 101 Dalmatians, which is the title shown on the VHS and DVD releases from Disney. Some editions of the novel also have the title as The 101 Dalmations instead of spelled out. Collectonian (talk) 04:16, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
