Walt Disney's classic film, 101 Dalmatians, may not be completely original as it is based on a previous book, but it has turned its characters into beloved favorites, especially Pongo and Purdy. The movie will make you fall in love with all the adorable puppies like Lucky, Penny, Patch, and Freckles. The animation is superb with just the right amount of music that doesn't overwhelm the storyline but does give us the memorable song of Cruella Deville. Speaking of the villain, Cruella is an iconic and fantastically over-the-top character, with Horace and Jasper adding to the trio's incredible dynamic. The film is a delightful experience from start to finish, a complete classic that has been a box office success and is one of Walt Disney's triumphs. Moving forward, the live-action films, 101 Dalmatians and 102 Dalmatians, are based on the cartoon and offer a fresh take on the story with Glenn Close's portrayal of Cruella Deville being particularly outstanding. While the movies may have a few plot holes, they are still top-notch entertainment. The sequel, 101 Dalmatians Part 2 in the Animated Series, focuses on Patch's adventures in London, adding a new dimension to the beloved story.

Whenever we stumble upon another one of those infamous direct-to-video Disney sequels, expectations usually hit rock bottom, to say the least. After all, the track record for this cash-grab format, packed with cheap princess and genie follow-ups, is notoriously a disaster. But there's an unwritten rule in movies that even the most rigid formulas can hold some good surprises. Going back to the world of the spotted pups, the promise was just more of the same. Instead, I found a movie that, while undeniably average at its core, pulls off being fun, charming, and surprisingly less annoying than usual, proving you can find flashes of brilliance where you least expect them. I’ll admit I went into this expecting the worst. DisneyToon Studios' track record in the '90s and 2000s trained us to expect lazy writing and iffy animation. However, Patch's London Adventure quickly disarms even the most cynical viewer. Far from just being a cheap rehash of the 1961 classic or the '90s live-action movies, it actually puts in the effort to justify why it exists. It finds clever shortcuts in the story and lands enough solid jokes to keep you hooked, easily setting itself apart from the low-budget trash that usually clutters the sequel shelves. The biggest thing this sequel gets right is that it refuses to just coast on nostalgia. I really felt like the creative team made a genuine effort to expan…
