My family has been big fans of Disney since, well, forever! While my own parents weren’t Disney die-hards, I grew up with a fondness for all things Disney and instilled that same love in Angeline at an early age. We’ve followed the magical releases of my favorite Disney classics from the Disney Vault for the last 17 years, adding our favorites to our home movie collection, picking up new snowglobes, figurines, tea cups, stuffed animals and other Disney collectibles along the way. If you could see my Disney-filled china cabinet, you’d be a little jealous! As one of my favorite Disney animated movies, 101 Dalmatians, hits stores everywhere tomorrow, we are super excited to finally own a copy in the updated format! A big thanks to Disney for sending us a review copy!
What’s not to love about 101 Dalmatians? We have adorable little puppies, a sweet-as-can-be couple and of course, the Disney staple: the villain. If Cruella De Vil isn’t a great example of the classic villain, I don’t know who is!
If you’ve never seen Disney’s 101 Dalmatians, where have you been? Under a rock? Pongo, Perdita and their super-adorable puppies are in for thrills, hilarious spills and an epic action-packed adventure when they face off with Cruella De Vil, Disney’s most fabulously outrageous villainess. When Cruella dognaps all of the Dalmatian puppies in London, brave animal heroes launch a daring plan to save all puppies from Cruella’s clutches!
We love 101 Dalmatians because the story is sweet, the puppies are adorable and well, the puppies are adorable. 101 Dalmatians sums up everything my family loves about Disney: good triumphs over evil and everyone lives happily ever after.

I love this movie! It is such a cute family movie and it is on Blu Ray which means that I can see more details in the movie. I would like to get this movie as a gift to my niece for her birthday!
I absolutely LOVE the 101 Dalmatians and have delighted in sharing it with my girls more than a dozen times. The puppies are adorable! How fun that you get to meet Floyd Norman! I can’t wait to read what he shared with you.
