101 Dalmatians
"101 Dalmatians" was a 1996 movie starring: Glenn Close as Cruella DeVil, Jeff Daniels as Roger, Joely Richardson as Anita and a cast of many talented animals from the British animal kingdom.
The movie begins in Roger’s house where he lives with his Dalmatian, Pongo, who displays his talents of turning on the shower, opening the front door, and fetching the milk. Roger develops video games that are inspired by his Dalmatian.
Next, we meet Anita, a clothes designer whose creations are inspired by her Dalmatian. She works for Cruella DeVil, a woman who worships fur. When Cruella sees one of the Dalmatian designs she yearns for an outfit made from Dalmatian puppy coats.
While Roger is inside a corporate headquarters marketing his latest video game, Pongo waits outside tied to a bench, guarding Roger’s bicycle. Anita, with Purdy running alongside, rides her bike past Pongo, who is interested in getting to know this cute Dalmatian. After Roger returns to his bike, Pongo takes his master on a wild ride past several London attractions including Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus before ending up in Hyde Park, trying to catch up to Purdy. The leash snaps and Roger’s bike crashes into a bench and he is flung into a pond. While Roger is taking his unexpected swim, Pongo catches up to Anita and Purdy who are enjoying a game of catch in another part of the park. Eventually a dripping wet Roger arrives on the scene and grabs the wrong Dalmatian, but Anita straightens him out with a clobber over the head with her purse full of bricks. Roger and Anita take their dogs and go their separate ways. But Purdy has other ideas and decides she’d like to spend some more time with Pongo, and takes her mistress on a wild ride through the park. This time Anita ends up in the pond, only to be rescued by Roger. They return to his house to warm up and notice the dogs have fallen in love. Likewise with the humans who end up in a church getting married.
Anita and Pongo both learn they are pregnant with a human baby and Dalmatian puppies respectively. Purdy has 15 puppies and Cruella offers to buy them. After Roger and Anita tell her that the puppies are not for sale, she fires Anita, and hires two men to steal the puppies. One night while Anita and Roger take Purdy and Pongo out for a walk in the snow, the two bad guys, Jasper and Horace, break into the house, lock Nanny in a closet, and take the puppies.
