102 Dalmatians

The film follows a new adventure centered around Oddball, an unmarked Dalmatian puppy, and Waddlesworth, a parrot with the attitude of a Rottweiler. Together, they navigate challenges in London to thwart Cruella De Vil's latest schemes. This sequel blends humor and family-friendly action, maintaining the spirit of the original while offering fresh characters and situations.

Glenn Close returns as Cruella De Vil, bringing her distinctive portrayal of the villain to this installment. The cast also includes Gérard Depardieu, Ioan Gruffudd, and Alice Evans, contributing to the film's lively ensemble. Directed by Kevin Lima, known for his work on family-oriented features, the movie balances comedic elements with a lighthearted narrative.

Produced by Walt Disney Pictures alongside Cruella Productions and Kanzaman S.A.M., 102 Dalmatians continues the legacy of the 101 Dalmatians live-action collection. The film’s production involved creating new animal characters using a mix of live-action and visual effects, which adds to its appeal for collectors interested in the evolution of Disney’s live adaptations.

Collectors can find 102 Dalmatians on VHS and DVD, formats that represent the home media market of the early 2000s. These releases are part of the broader collection of Disney's family films from that era, making them relevant for those tracking the home distribution history of Disney's live-action remakes and sequels.
