Plot

Set in present-day London, Roger Dearly is an American designer of computer games who shares his home with his pet Dalmatian, Pongo. One day, Roger takes Pongo for a walk and the dog sets his eyes on a beautiful female Dalmatian named Perdy. Perdy likes Pongo as much as he likes her, and thankfully Perdy’s owner, fashion designer Anita Campbell-Green, is quite taken with Roger. Romance blossoms between the human and canine couples, and Roger and Anita tie the knot a little while later.. Anita works for Cruella de Vil, a sexy fashion maven with a great love for fur.

Inspired by her dogs, Anita finds herself working up a design for a fur coat made with spotted fur, and Cruella leaps on the idea of making garments out of real Dalmatians. To obtain the fur, Cruella sends her two nasty but not especially intelligent henchmen, Jasper and Horace, on a mission to round up Dalmatians, and when they fall a bit short of their goal, it comes to Cruella’s attention that Perdy has just given birth to a litter of fifteen Dalmatian puppies. She hastily offers the couple a decent price for the newborn puppies, but the couple refuses to take it. Flying into a maniacal rage, she fires Anita and vows to get even. She gets Jasper and Horace to steal the puppies, which are taken to Cruella’s ancient estate, De Vil Manor, out in the country, where they should be waiting for a ruthless old man named Mister Skinner, who works in taxidermy.

With the help of the other dogs and animals scattered throughout London, the puppies manage to outwit Jasper and Horace and escape to a farm, where their parents have been called to wait. But shortly after, Cruella de Vil shows up, and tries to retrieve them; she ends up having a pig sit on her and fart in her face, after which she falls into a vat of molasses and is kicked into a pig pen. All of the Dalmatians manage to get home by the Metropolitan Police Service, who then arrest the filthy Miss de Vil and her henchmen and send them to prison. The family adopts the 84 other Dalmatians Cruella had stolen, bringing the total to 101 and moving to the English countryside.
