One Hundred and One Dalmatians

One Hundred and One Dalmatians

Back in 1961, Walt Disney got a little hip with 101 Dalmatians, making use of that flat Saturday morning cartoon style that had become so popular. The result is a kitschy change in animation and story. Pongo and Perdita are two lonely dalmatians who meet cute in a London park and arrange for their pet humans to marry so they can live together and raise a family. They become proud parents of 15 pups, who are stolen by the dastardly Cruella De Vil, who wants to make a fur coat out of them. Cruella has become the most popular villain in all of Disney; she's flamboyantly nasty and lots of fun. But it's the dalmatians who shine in this endearing classic, particularly those precocious pups. Telling the story from the dogs' point of view is a clever conceit, a fundamental flaw of the live-action remake. --Bill Desowitz

Nanny:
Now, who do you suppose...? [answers the door]

Jasper:
Good evening, ma'am. We're here to inspect the wiring and the switches.

Horace:
And we're from the gas company.

Jasper:
[prods Horace] Lectric, lectric.

Horace:
Oh. Electric company!

Nanny:
Oh, but we didn't call for any inspection.

Jasper:
Oh yes, I know. See, there's a new Act just passed in Parliament. Comes under the heading of the "Defence of the Realm Act": Article Four, Section 29. Very important - it's the law! And it's for your own safety, ma'am.

Nanny:
Well, I don't care what Parliament, Realm or whatever it is says. You're not coming in here, not with the Mister and the Missus gone.

Jasper:
Oh, now. Come off it, Ducky. We got no time to palaver. We got a job to do. EXCUSE ME! [storms through the door]

Nanny:
What's the matter with you two?! You got cloth ears? I said you're not coming in here! [falls on her bottom]

Jasper:
Ho, ho, ho! She's a regular old totter, ain't she, Horace? [laughs mockingly, then heads upstairs]

Nanny:
[chasing Jasper] Don't you dare go up there, you big long-legged lummox! Now I mean it! If you don't get out of this house, I'll call the police, I will. Now be off with you, you big... you big weasel!

Jasper:
Now you've been gone and done it. You've cut me to the quick, lady. Why, I wouldn't stay here if you asked me to. [Nanny throws a teapot at Jasper, but it misses and breaks] Not even for a cup of tea! [calling down for Horace while trapping Nanny in the attic] Oi! Horace, me lad! I've got a sneaky suspicion we're not welcome here! [we see Horace downstairs with a bag, heading for the puppies in the kitchen] Pack up, we're leaving! Sharp's the word, and quick's the action.

[An angry Cruella catches Jasper and Horace watching television]

Cruella:
I've got no time to argue. I tell you it's got to be done tonight. [switches off the TV] Do you understand? Tonight!

Horace:
But they ain't big enough.

Jasper:
You couldn't get half a dozen coats out of the whole kaboodle.

Tibbs:
[spying] Coats?! Dog-skin coats?

Cruella:
[breathes smoke at Jasper's face, and he coughs] Then we'll settle for half a dozen! We can't wait. The police are everywhere! I want the job done tonight!

Horace:
How are we gonna do it?

Cruella:
Any way you like: Poison them, drown them, bash them in the head. You got any chloroform?

Jasper:
Not a drop.

Horace:
And no ether... either.

Jasper:
[bonks Horace on the head with his wine-bottle] "Eye-ther"!

Cruella:
I don't care how you kill the little beasts, but DO IT! AND DO IT NOW!

Jasper:
Aw, please, miss. Now have pity, will ya? Can't we see the rest of the show first?

Horace:
We want to see "What's My Crime?"

[Jasper starts to drink from his bottle, but Cruella snatches it and throws it into the fireplace, where the ignited alcohol causes an explosion. The frightened puppies hide behind the furniture, and Cruella slaps both Jasper and Horace in the face.]

Cruella:
Now listen, you idiots! I'll be back first thing in the morning. And the job better be done or I'll... I'll... I'll call the police! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!

[She slams the door behind her, causing a chunk of the ceiling to come loose and fall on Horace's head.]

Horace:
I think she means it, Jasper.

Jasper:
Ah... we'll get on with it as soon as the show's over. [switches the TV back on]

Jasper:
[cackling wickedly] Ah, ha-ha-ha! Now, we’ve got ‘em, Horace. They‘ve run out of room! Hey, what have we got here? A couple of spotted hyenas? C’mon, Horace, old pal. Give ‘em what for. I’m right behind ya, lad.

Horace:
[accidentally hits Jasper]

Jasper:
Oof! Oh, you clumsy clod! [angrily kicks Jasper]

Horace:
Hey, Jasper! I’ll knock the spots off you! Let go! Let go!

[Perdita bites Horace's pant leg. Jasper swings a chair and Pongo jumps on him]

Colonel:
Well, by George!

[A puppy barks. Jasper scowls and the puppy scampers off]

Jasper:
[violently kicks Pongo against the wall] You mangy mongrel!

Pongo:
[shakes his head dizzily]

Jasper:
I’ll knock your blinking block off!

Pongo:
[angrily bites Jasper's rear end]

Jasper:
YEOW!!

Colonel:
[looks through a hole in the door] Blast ‘em, Tibs. Go on, give ‘em what for.

Tibbs:
No, no, Colonel! Retreat, retreat!

Colonel:
Yes. Oh, yes, of course. Retreat! Retreat, on the double!

[The puppies follow Tibbs and the Colonel to the front door. Perdita attacks Horace]

Horace:
Help, Jasper, Jasper! Get me outta here!

Jasper:
Hey, Horace, they’re fighting dirty!

Horace:
Oh, oh, oh! [falls in the fireplace] Oh, oh, oh! [hits his head in the fireplace and bolts away, as he puts out the flames on the seat of his pants] Jasper!

Jasper:
Horace!

[With his pants on fire, Horace knocks Jasper against a wall. It cracks and the ceiling collapses on them]

Pongo:
C’mon, Perdy. Let’s go.

[The two dogs follow the paw prints in the snow. Horace and Jasper go outside]

Jasper:
[angrily shakes his fist] I’ll skin every one of them little spotted hyenas if it’s the last thing I do!

[The van makes a left turn out of Dinsford and takes the main road to London. Pongo and Perdita look at the road going away behind them and look back at the puppies hiding in the furniture. Just then, Cruella and the Baduns drive up in their vehicles, with Cruella quickly following the van and the Baduns taking an opposite road.]

Perdita:
Pongo! There she is: Cruella!

[Cruella comes from behind the van and rams against it to force it off the road]

Man:
[angrily] Hey, lady, what in thunder are you tryin’ to do?! Crazy woman driver!

[Cruella re-appears from the left and slams into the van again. She thrashes against the van wildly, almost flinging the puppies away, while the driver struggles to keep his van on the road. Just then, she sees a road barrier and tries to stop her car, but it crashes through the barrier and ends up in a ditch, while the van crosses the bridge. That does not stop Cruella, as she puts her car in reverse and goes full speed ahead on the other side of the hill. Her car reaches the top and hits a grove of trees, shedding off some of its parts. Cruella is now a psychopath on wheels, as her car resembles a hot rod now.]

Perdita:
[sees the Baduns traveling down a mountain road] Pongo, look!

[The Baduns also have plans to crash the van. Jasper is wickedly confident about this, while Horace holds onto the roof support for dear life.]

Horace:
Jasper!

Jasper:
[wickedly cackling] There ain’t nothin’ to it! I’ll give him a nudge And shove him in the dirt! Ha-ha!

[Then, Cruella returns, rage appears in Cruella's eyes, and the parents gape in horror. Cruella rams her car against the van's rear-end bumper and swerves the van in both directions to destroy it.]

Pongo:
Perdy, watch out!

[The battle continues with both drivers fighting for control over the road, until they near the junction where Horace and Jasper are preparing to make their move.]

Horace:
[Accidentally snaps the steering wheel off] Jasper!

Jasper:
Horace!

[Horace and Jasper's truck swerves out of control down the mountain and crashes into Cruella's car and both automobiles and drivers go flying into the air as they fall into the riverbank]

Cruella:
[angrily calls Jasper and Horace names] You idiots! You, you fools! You imbeciles!

Jasper:
[annoyed] Ah, shut up!

[Cruella continues slams her fist on a tire while she continues sobbing]
