aka 101 Dalmatians
Disney's dalmatian adventure is a simple story that moves from A to B to C without asking too much of a viewer. That's not a criticism in itself, simplicity can be a great strength in animation, but, on the whole, the dognapping yarn had me literally catnapping long before the credits rolled.
I liked the 'classic Hollywood' feeling that was most evident early on, and the wonderfully named Cruella De Vil, a wiry villainess who wants the many pups made into a fur coat, certainly looked the part (she wouldn't seem out of place in a Roald Dahl novel, either), but once again it was primarily the beautifully rendered Disney backgrounds that appealed to me, not the talking animals.
