Glenn Close's performance as "Ella" who has been imprisoned for 3 years for dognapping but who received behavioral modification but reverts to "Cruella" when Big Ben's chimes go off, is delightfully dastardly. In fact, I liked this version even better than the first.
So when I saw there was a new dalmatians movie, "102 Dalmatians," I was elated and when I saw it, I was NOT disappointed. I saw the original "101 Dalmatians" 3 times while en route from England back home to the USA and I loved it. Save this one for a video rental so your kids can fast forward through the boring bits before they, too, fall fast asleep. Not a good testimonial for a children's film. I don't believe I was the only one who felt this way.as my daughter and I were leaving the theatre, I noticed two youngsters fast asleep. More time should have been devoted to the puppies and their antics, and less to Cruella and her scheming. The movie was cute, but it ran way too long for the younger set who have a reduced attention span. We ended up leaving before the movie was finished, so I'm not even sure how it ended.
Amazingly, my daughter got an hour or so of entertainment from this film, and then got horribly bored. I found that the movie tried too hard to be dark and sinister.Cruella got way too much screen time and the puppies, too little. Seeing as how she is a dog lover and is riveted to the TV screen every time she sees a commercial or TV show with a puppy, I figured how could I go wrong? I decided that this was going to be the first movie that I took my young daughter to see.
