Is the 1996 101 Dalmatians a live-action remake?
Yes. Walt Disney Pictures released the live-action 101 Dalmatians in 1996 as a new adaptation of Dodie Smith's 1956 novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians and Disney's animated tradition. Glenn Close plays the villain Cruella de Vil.
Who plays Cruella de Vil in 101 Dalmatians?
Glenn Close plays Cruella de Vil, the fashion designer who wants the Dalmatian puppies for a coat. Jeff Daniels plays Roger Dearly, and Joely Richardson plays Anita.
Does the film use real dogs?
The 1996 production prominently used live Dalmatian puppies and trained animal performers rather than making the dogs entirely digital. The number of animals used in production was much larger than the 101 puppies named in the story.
Is 101 Dalmatians connected to 102 Dalmatians?
Yes. The 2000 film 102 Dalmatians is a direct live-action follow-up that again features Glenn Close as Cruella de Vil. The 1996 film itself is a remake-style adaptation, not a sequel to the animated 1961 film.
