So, 101 Dalmatians from '96 has this quirky vibe that really captures the chaos of puppy-napping. Stephen Herek directs with a lightness that balances the comedy and the darker undertones of Cruella's fashion obsession. The pacing is brisk, which keeps you entertained without any real lulls. The practical effects blend well, giving the dogs a charmingly cartoonish feel that adds to the fun. Glenn Close's performance as Cruella is a standout β she leans into the extravagant villain role, making it memorable. It's not just a straightforward family flick; there's a lot of cleverness in how it critiques the fashion world. The animated segments woven into the live-action give it a unique flair too.
