The humans marry, and soon the spotted pooches become parents to 15 puppies. Unfortunately, Anita's boss is the aptly-named fashion designer Cruella De Vil, an incredibly grandiose, maniacal diva. Cruella wants to make a coat of (gulp!) dalmatian fur, and although she already has 84 of the canines in captivity, she wants Anita's. When Anita refuses to sell her pups, Cruella sends her two ever-bumbling henchmen on a dog-napping mission. Can Pongo and Perdy save all 101 dalmatians -- and send Cruella and her minions to the doghouse in the process? [More]
