When we arrived at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles, Ca., we walked along a spotted carpet to the main entrance. There, we were given vouchers for free soda, popcorn and hot dogs. We went to our seats and anxiously awaited the movie.

102 DALMATIONS is about an animal shelter named Second Chance that runs out of money for rent. The animals and Kevin, the nice guy who runs it, get kicked out of their building.

Meanwhile, Cruella de Vil, is released from jail, where she was serving time for puppy snatching. Cruella's probation officer, Chloe is horrified to find she's in charge of Ms. De Vil. Chloe owns Dipstick, the offspring of Pongo and Perdita from the "101 Dalmatians" movie. Chloe's dalmations had a litter of puppies, one of whom is a spotless puppy named Oddball.

Cruella, seems to be a new woman after her stay in prison. Being the transformed person she is, Cruella saves the Second Chance dog shelter. She buys it and makes it into an animal palace complete with beauty salon. But, has Cruella really changed? She goes back to her evil old ways again and hooks up with a French fashion designer to hatch a plan for the ultimate fur coat... made of Dalmatian fur. They set out to steal all the puppies they can find including Chloe's new pups.

Do they succeed and make their fantasy fur or do the puppies get away? To find out, you must go see 102 Dalmatians today. There's a funny bird in the shelter named Waddlesworth who thinks he's a dog. He becomes a big part of all the adventures.

This is a really fun movie. Cruella's costumes are wild and colorful and the dogs are adorable. Great fun for your whole family.
