It stars Glenn Close as the villainous Cruella de Vil, and Jeff Daniels as Roger, the owner of the 101 dalmatians. Unlike the novel and earlier adaptations, none of the animal characters talk. A sequel, 102 Dalmatians, was released in 2000.
Plot summary
Set in London, Roger is an American designer of computer games who shares his home with his pet dalmatian, Pongo. One day, Roger takes Pongo for a walk and the dog sets his eyes on a beautiful female dalmatian named Perdy. Perdy likes Pongo as much as he likes her, and thankfully Perdy's mistress, a fashion designer named Anita, is quite taken with Roger. Romance blossoms between the human and canine couples, and Roger and Anita tie the knot (Pongo and Perdy are apparently still living out of wedlock). Anita works for Cruella de Vil, an intense fashion maven with a lust for fur.
Inspired by her dogs, Anita finds herself working up a design for a fur coat made with spotted fur, and Cruella leaps on the idea of making garments out of real dalmatians. But where to get the animals? Cruella has two nasty but not especially intelligent henchmen Jasper and Horace, who have been known to kill the odd endangered species at madame's request. Now they are sent on a mission to round up dalmatians, and when they fall a bit short of their goal, it comes to Cruella's attention that Perdy has just given birth to a litter of 15 puppies. Hastily offering the couple a decent price for the newborn puppies, the couple refuses to take it.
