Please note this is a region 2 DVD & will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play It is rare to find a sequel which outdoes the original concept particularly in the world of Disney movies but 102 Dalmatians is an exception to the rule The high jinks & action is back with an additional puppy--the lovable Oddball who has no spots--and of course the cruellest of villains Cruella De Vil After two years of rehabilitation Cruella is released into London&s community once more--but this time insists on being called Ella " Cruella just sounds so cruel"--but has the evil one really changed her ways to become not only a pillar of society but also a dog-loving activist? Her probation officer Chloe is not convinced & added to that her dalmatians have just had puppies Glenn Close is back in fine form as Cruella--this may be the defining role of her career-and with a great range of costumes & hair-dos she adds fantastic menace to the character Added to this is the joy of having two British actors in the role of dog-loving humans (Ioan Gruffudd as Kevin & Alice Evans as Chloe)--instead of having to listen to the cod Dick Van Dyke English accent that Disney seems to love The film also offers an extrovert turn by Gerard Depardieu as the flamboyant French Fashion designer Monsieur Le Pelt Through Le Pelt this film does make some important references to the fur trade & the " No Logo-esque" fashion production methods--adding political humour for adults However as always the true stars of the films are the animal actors themselves with the talking parrot Waddlesworth who thinks he is a rottweiler (voiced by Eric Idle) & of course the true star Oddball--the cutest puppy since the promotion of a certain toilet roll! ...
