102 Dalmatians (2000)

EW's GRADE
D+

Details Release Date: Nov 22, 2000; Rated: G; Length: 94 Minutes; Genres: Comedy, Kids and Family; With: Glenn Close and Gerard Depardieu; Distributor: Walt Disney Pictures

Easily besting its rather tedious 1996 predecessor, this sprightly, campy sequel spotlights a multispecies cast — especially one snow-white Dalmatian puppy, Oddball, and a macaw (voiced by Eric Idle) who thinks he's a rottweiler — as they work together to thwart the renewed sartorial scheming of Cruella DeVil (a remarkably game Close). Dog lovers will drool over the scene in 102 Dalmatians, in which puppies across London create their own canine grapevine.
