I watched it last night with my kids as it happens, and thought it was pretty bad. The story is basically just a single long chase sequence which doesn't really reward adult viewers. I much prefer the one millionth rewatch of Robin Hood, which definitely has a lot of flaws (really blatant reuse of animations) but is a lot more fun with a lot of different action sequences and jokes. Basically the only easter egg for adults in 101 Dalmatians is the What's My Crime TV show.
- earthboundkid 5y agoI will say compared to Sleeping Beauty; it's at least watchable. SB was a triumph of the art department over any common sense. "Let's make a high modernist technicolor crazy angular art piece… about Sleeping Beauty." I can see how they talked themselves into it, but Walt should have talked them back out of it. That art style is fine for a short but can't hold a feature and conflicts with the goal of making a movie for children with resonant themes for adults.
