San Francisco Chronicle -
Though this film's considerable warmth derives from dalmatian puppies and other animals who take charge of their fates, Close steals the show.

San Francisco Examiner -
Dalmatians proves an apt playground for Hughes as one could surmise that his inspiration for treating comic bad guys in his movies so violently comes from a cartoon sensibility.

Chicago Sun-Times -
What's funny in cartoons is not always funny in live action, and some of the dunkings in unsavory substances left me less than amused.

Chicago Reader -
If the Disney animated original (1961) -- adapted from Dodie Smith's novel -- tried to approximate live action, this 1996 Disney live-action remake often tries to evoke cartoon.

The New York Times -
Thanks to Glenn Close's delicious villainy, it succeeds in breathing archly theatrical life into the irresistibly monstrous Cruella DeVil. Otherwise, this remake goes to the dogs too often.
