Description: The endearing tale of Disney's animated classic 101 DALMATIANS continues to unfold in the delightful, all-new 101 DALMATIANS II: PATCH'S LONDON ADVENTURE. It's a fun-filled adventure fresh with irresistible original music and loveable new characters, voiced by Jason Alexander, Martin Short and Barry Bostwick. Lost in a sea of spots, little Patch longs to stand out from the other puppies and dreams of being a "One Of A Kind Wonder Dog" like his favorite TV star, Thunderbolt. When Patch accidentally gets separated from his family, he takes the opportunity to meet his hero and, miraculously, finds himself in the real-life role of Thunderbolt's sidekick. Meanwhile, Cruella has become a patron of the arts after discovering the spotty paintings of an eccentric new artist named Lars. To inspire him, she kidnaps all of the other Dalmatian puppies. Together, Patch and Thunderbolt have to figure out a way to save the day, and, through his own acts of heroism, Patch discovers that he truly is one-of-a-kind.
Amazon.com: Patch, the TV-obsessed pup of the 1961 animated original, becomes a star in this sequel when he sneaks off to audition for his favorite show, Thunderbolt. Meanwhile, the ego-driven canine star (voiced by Spin City's Barry Bostwick) learns that his character is about to be killed off. His solution? Be a real-life hero. Patch, with his encyclopedic knowledge of Thunderbolt episodes, prowls the streets of London with his idol, making disastrous attempts to rescue unsuspecting citizens. Cruella De Vil returns, on probation for her earlier misdeeds, but still determined to steal the puppies. She springs old cohorts Horace and Jasper from jail and adds artist Lars (Martin Short) to her arsenal. What results is a blend of the animated original's coziness with the live-action version's slapstick, wrapped up with a high-minded ending in which Patch teaches his hero what it means to be genuinely heroic.

NOTE: We watched the VHS, not the DVD, but I couldn't find the VHS version on Amazon.com. ANYWAYS: 101 Dalmatians 2 is nice, but not as good as original movie. We do not own Patch's London Adventure, but we ... Read More

I really like this movie even though it's not like the original. I think that's a good thing because we get to see what actually happened after the couple bought their "Dalmatian Plantation." Even though it's ... Read More
Rating: - Great sequel.
I like this particular Disney sequel a lot--and that's not a commonly stated thing. Lars and Little Lightning are easily two of the best newer Disney characters. And the entire film is well-made and enjoyable. ... Read More
