Really Really Good

I think Cruella is pretty mean. I like the part where she tries to buy the puppies. It was good fun to watch. I also like 102 Dalmatians.

The Best

I admire this movie for the cruelness and wickedness of Cruella. The best example of this is when she tries but fails to buy the puppies from Anita and Roger. So she sends Horace and Jasper to steal them. Now it's a wild chase to return the puppies to their home. It's an action-packed and exciting movie. I also recommend 102 Dalmatians.

BEWARE- Not For Easily Scared Children.

While I thought the animated old version was adorable and funny, this remake is far from that..........I bought this video for my daughter when she was 4, and after watching it, she became upset for months about Cruella and scary robbers. This movie gave her her first nightmares, even though we hadn't even finished the film. While we were watching, she started to get tears in her eyes. I asked her if I should shut it off, and she said yes. She saw enough dark gloomy scenes in the castle, evil dialogue from the robbers, and Cruella talking about smashing the puppies heads in and skinning them to traumatize her for quite awhile............I was so angry about this being considered a movie suitable for all ages, that I e-mailed Disney with my angry thoughts. No response. I read a review of one parent saying they watch this repeatedly with a 18 month old and he loves it. Beware, he is responding only to the visual stimuli, not absorbing the plot. An older child between 3 and 8 might find this quite frightening. ..................Disney movies aren't necessarily heartwarming or innocent. Everyone loves a great villain, but when they are played by real people and not cartoons, a young child WILL find them frightening. There's too much violence and cruelty in 101 Dalmatians, and this film should only be for children over 8. By that time, they have a better understanding of reality and fantasy. No matter how bright, (my daughter is gifted), below the age of 8, their emotions are not ready for this film. ...............As much as Cruella is a great character, can't deny that...she's not for the young and impressionable. Know what you are showing your child ahead of time if you have any reservations about possible inappropriate content by previewing alone first. I learned the hard way, but worst of all, my daughter didn't have to if I'd known. Robbers, stealing, killing, assaulting and gloom are not pleasant at any age, but for your child? Consider this carefully, also factor in your childs age and temperament before allowing this "Disney Classic" onto your roster.

Good not great film

As with the 1961 original, this was a good film only for Cruella. I am no fan of Glenn Close, but she was perfect in the part. Disappointed it did not have extras but glad to get it letter box.
