So when Cruella De vil learns that she now has 101 puppies she won't stop for anything until she is wearing every single one of them.

--Jessica, Resident Scholar

Pongo and Perdita are dalmatians who meet through their owners. Not only do the owners fall in love, so do the dogs themselves. They have a large litter of puppies (99 of them, to be exact). Of course, the dalmatians have to watch out for Cruella de Ville, a mean old woman who wants to make a new coat out of the dogs' fur. However, the dalmatians outsmart DeVille, and their owners get married. A fun movie for everyone, and it recently inspired the long-overdue sequel, 102 Dalmatians.
