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

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.

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.
