Reviews
" A family film full of action and turbulence with an incredible variety of four-legged friends, but they can not compete with the charm of the Disney classic from 1961. "
" Succeed at the beginning nor the imaginative paraphrase, the film slipping rapidly into trivial entertainment for children and verselbständigende situation comedy. "
"This is a pathetic movie. He is not only completely unnecessary ( the animated version would have been enough ), but also a glaring example of Disney's unbridled commercialization. "

The film 102 Dalmatians in 2000 builds on previous content, hardly; only the action to Cruella De Vil is continued. Critics have called the film among other things, " just a cheap rehash " of the first part.
