Professor Pfinklepfunder's $1 Sunday Films
Directed by Stephen Herek
With Glenn Close, Jeff Daniels, Joely Richardson
Rated G, 103 minutes, Blu-ray
The English writer Dodie Smith wrote The Hundred and One Dalmatians in the mid-1950s. Still, its animated adaptation and inclusion in the Disney canon in 1961 launched the story — and the dog breed — into a stratospheric world of fame. Commonly reissued throughout the century, Disney's One Hundred and One Dalmatians consistently raked in large audiences. Central to Pongo and Perdita's fame is the villain pursuing them, Cruella de Vil. In this live-action remake that sits near a temporal midpoint between the original cartoon and the Emma Stone vehicle Cruella, Glenn Close portrays the fashion designer and Dalmatian "enthusiast" with a cartoonish tenacity that would do her previous animated version proud and booked her a place in the Disney camp hall of fame.
