One Hundred and One Dalmations

One Hundred and One Dalmatians

Classic film about all of the dalmatians and the evil Cruella DeVil. 1961. Directors: Clyde Geronimi, Hamilton Luske, Wolfgang Reitherman.
The dalmatian Pongo and his owner, Roger Radcliffe, are both bachelors and live in London. Pongo decides to find them both girls. He's starting to watch the women who pass by the window, and finally sees a well-dressed woman with a lovely dalmatian.
After forcing the song-writing Roger to the park, Pongo tries to find the other dalmatian, and finally succeed. Pongo acts very silly and tries to get the dalmatian's attention.
Some time later, Roger and the woman Anita gets married, and Pongo and the dalmatian Perdita lives happily together. One day, Perdita gives birth to 15 puppies, and one almost dies. But luckily, Roger manages to save the poor thing.
But the happiness isn't going to be long, because then Anita's "friend", Cruella DeVil, arrives to the apartment and wants to buy the puppies. Roger and Anite won't let her, and Roger manages to make her leave.
But Cruella won't stop. She wants those puppies, so she tells her clumsy henchmen to steal the poor puppies who's now a bit older. Pongo and Perdita decides to rescue their children themselves instead of trust that Scotland Yard finds their beloved puppies.
A good Disney film, entertaining but still not the perfect Disney film. Nothing can be perfect, but this isn't good enough to get the grade of 4.
