The Hundred and One Dalmatians
Synopsis
Pongo and Missis, a pair of loyal Dalmatian dogs, live a charmed life with their kindly owners, Mr. and Mrs. Dearly, and their two devoted nannies. Their world is turned upside down when Cruella de Vil, a fur-obsessed woman with a sinister plan, kidnaps their litter of fifteen puppies to make a coat. What follows is a perilous journey across the English countryside as Pongo and Missis, aided by a network of other dogs, race to rescue their puppies from Cruella's clutches before it's too late.
