action
In an accident in the park, the unsuccessful London video game inventor Roger Dearly meets the pretty Anita who, like him, owns a Dalmatian. The two dogs Pongo and Perdi, as well as their two-legged owners, immediately fall in love with each other and get married. A short time later, not only is Anita pregnant, but Perdi is also expecting offspring. Anita's eccentric employer Cruella De Vil is called into action. Anita, who works as a fashion designer for Cruella, had recently designed a coat that looked like a Dalmatian. Cruella desperately wants a fur coat in this pattern.
When the offspring arrived, Cruella suddenly appeared at the Dearly's door and wanted to buy the puppies. When Cruella becomes intrusive, both of them realize, shocked, that she is up to no good, and refuse. In a rage, Cruella disappears and a few weeks later has the puppies kidnapped. They are brought to Cruella's old and now abandoned family home outside London by the two idiot petty criminals Horace and Jasper, along with Dalmatian puppies from other owners. There the crooks are waiting for the animal skinner, Mr. Skinner, who is supposed to pull the fur off the little ones on Cruella's behalf. Pongo and Perdi have notified other animals via a "chain of bells" and found out where their young are, and are on their way. In the meantime, all puppies have managed to escape with the help of other animals. Reunification takes place on a farm.
Roger and Anita alert the police after Anita finds out that Cruella wants the coat she designed. The police found the skin of a Siberian tiger at Cruella and are now sure that she was behind the kidnapping. But Cruella is already in the process of catching the puppies again. Thanks to the cohesion of all animals, Cruella, Mr. Skinner and the bandits can be overwhelmed and arrested after some embarrassing and dirty accidents. The pups get back to their owners. Because no owners have registered for the remaining 84 stolen puppies, Roger and Anita are allowed to adopt all of them together. They set up a dog farm where, in addition to the Dalmatians, they also raise their first child. When they are talking about children in the last scene, Anita reveals to Roger that she has a "little surprise" for him.

Reviews
"A family film full of action and turbulence with an unbelievable variety of four-legged friends, but which cannot compete with the charm of the Disney classic from 1961."
"If the imaginative paraphrase succeeds at the beginning, the film visibly slips into irrelevant entertainment for children and situation comedy that takes on a life of its own."
“This is a pathetic movie. Not only is it completely unnecessary (the cartoon version would have sufficed), but also a blatant example of Disney's rampant commercialization . "
continuation
The film 102 Dalmatians from 2000 hardly builds on its predecessor in terms of content; only the plot about Cruella De Vil continues. Critics have called the film, among other things, "just a cheap infusion" of the first part.
In 2015 it was announced that Disney was planning a prequel that will tell the story of Cruella De Vil. The title role is to be played by Emma Stone . Filming for the film is scheduled to begin in late 2018. The cinema release is October 9, 2020.
