  1. How is it possible that actors as expert as Close and Depardieu can wind up together in a mostly brainless big-budget stinker?
  2. 35
    A film without mirth or magic.

    This sequel adds more insults and injuries that could traumatize little ones. Most frightening of all, the ending leaves the door open for ''103 Dalmatians,'' which would certainly constitute Cruella and unusual punishment.
  4. You can't help but feel that Disney has delivered a turkey for Thanksgiving.
  5. May have had the unintended effect of obscuring the original it meant to honor.
  6. 20
    The whole movie is overbright, overloud, antic, telling us the characters and animals are endearing rather than allowing them to reveal themselves as such.

    Cruella is once again bent on collecting enough puppy skins to fashion the frock of her dreams. And once again, yawn.
  8. 20
    The elaborate climax set in a Paris bakery is the least boring part of this trained-animal movie.

    An unnecessary remake.

    A sequel from hell.
  11. So dull and formulaic, it ought to be leashed and led directly to the doghouse.

  1. I was still a child when I saw this movie, but I quickly realized it was just a cheap copy of the first. I wondered to myself what the difference was this film compared to the previous one, and came to the conclusion that the only difference was an extra dog. Full Review »
