What to Know

Critics Consensus

This sequel to the live-action 101 Dalmatians is simply more of the same. Critics say it also drags in parts, potentially boring children, and that it's too violent for a G-rated movie.

There is no reason for this sequel to the already-pointless 1996 live action remake of the classic Disney cartoon to exist, and the filmmakers fail to come up with any convincing pretense of justification. Go to Full Review

Gunner I @RT64755212 Sep 13, 2026 I have got to give it up and say that this is a fantastic movie. It is definitely worth the watch and a good clean laugh for the entire family.  See more Vinicius M @Vini_Monteiro Jun 1, 2026 102 Dalmatians is a disappointing sequel that feels like a corporate cash-grab, failing to capture the charm of the 1996 original. The film’s saving grace is Glenn Close, who delivers a fabulously wicked, scene-stealing performance as Cruella de Vil, elevated by stunning costume design. The dalmatian puppies remain adorable, and the practical sets are vibrant. However, the rest of the movie falls flat. The new human leads are painfully bland, and Gérard Depardieu’s cartoonish secondary villain is cringey. Noisy non-canine sidekicks, like a macaw with an identity crisis, steal screen time from the pups, while outdated CGI constantly breaks immersion. The film's biggest flaw is its jarring tone, wildly shifting between insulting slapstick and surprisingly sadistic scenes too dark for a G-rating. Ultimately, it’s a forgettable rehash that relies entirely on cute animals and an iconic villain to mask a weak script. See more Damon G @Dmoney420 Feb 22, 2026 Super good childhood classic grew up watching this loved it when I was young See more John K @WQCMI Jan 27, 2026 Its so boring, it makes me wonder what's the point of the film's existence. Glenn Close couldn't save this movie as she was trying her best, but the film tries too hard on recapturing the magic the original and remake had, the story is a complete rip-off of Chicken Run (Which couldn't have been a coincidence as both films came out the same year), also the budget makes this look like a Direct to Video or a TV Movie. See more Jesus B @RT71254475 Jan 8, 2026 Buena película para el público al que va dirigido. Bastante entretenida y con villanos entrañables. Los efectos son extraordinarios para el año en que se filmó. Mucho mejor que Scooby Doo 2,3,4,5 que se filmaron una década después. Totalmente recomendada. See more Oliver J @Ollie1997 Oct 15, 2025 Twice the Dogs, Half the Magic” “102 Dalmatians” (2000) attempts to recapture the puppy-powered charm of its predecessor with mixed results. Directed by Kevin Lima, this sequel doubles down on the visual spectacle and canine cuteness, but struggles to match the originality and heart of the 1996 live-action hit. Glenn Close once again commands the screen as Cruella de Vil, delivering another gloriously theatrical performance — equal parts wicked and whimsical. Fresh from therapy and seemingly reformed, Cruella’s relapse into fur-loving madness provides the film’s best moments, thanks to Close’s total commitment and an array of outlandish costumes that practically deserve their own credits. Ioan Gruffudd and Alice Evans are serviceable as the human leads, though their storyline often takes a backseat to the film’s endless puppy antics. While the movie offers a few genuinely funny sequences and remains visually charming, it leans too heavily on slapstick and predictable plotting. Still, younger audiences will find plenty to wag their tails about, and the film’s good-natured energy keeps it from feeling like a cash-grab sequel. Verdict: “102 Dalmatians” may not break new ground, but it delivers enough fluff, fun, and fabulous villainy to earn a modest round of applause — and a few happy barks. See more Read all reviews
