Dalmatians (1996) |
| This
time, the magic is real |
| Slapstick
kingpin John Hughes translates the classic animated children's
tale into a campy live-action slugfest. The fur-loving, sadistic
Cruella De Vil (Glenn Close) chases the puppies, hoping to sew
them into a fabulous coat, but the dogs outsmart her and her
bumbling henchmen.The film used 220 dalmatians in the film,
prompting the need for round-the-clock vet care, numerous trainers,
an endless supply of dog food, sterilized sets and crew members.
The entire shoot was monitored by the ASPCA and other humane
societies. |

Dalmatians (2000) |
| A
spotless new tail is going to be unleashed |
| Walt
Disney Pictures once again "spot-lights" comedy, fantasy and
fun-filled adventure in the highly anticipated sequel to the
1996 box office blockbuster, 101 Dalmatians. In this tale, Cruella
De Vil (Glenn Close) is released from prison on good behavior;
swearing that she will have nothing to do with fur ever again
in her life. She, however, cannot keep this promise and soon
is plotting another scheme to get her ultimate Dalmatian coat.
The fun and adventure shift into high gear as Cruella and the
dogs romp through Paris. © 2000 Disney Pictures |

the best there is! (Actually, he's the only one there is) |

a criminal animal. Picking up the scent of missing pets, Ace

mascot (a dolphin) is stolen just before the Superbowl, Ace
Ventura is put on the case. Now, who would want to steal a dolphin,
and why? |

Willy (1993) |
| How
far would you go for a friend? |
| Fishermen
separate a young orca whale (Willy) from his parents and he
ends up in a fish bowl at a marina. Meanwhile, a street kid

he befriends the whale and teaches him tricks, something the
trainer hasn't been able to do. But when Willy is a dud in
front of the audience, the marina owner plans some bad things,
and the boy and his friends must try to free Willy. |
