101 dálmatas: la serie

I used to watch this show along with Aladdin all the time as a child. One time the Dearly family decided to move into General Smedley's old farm but Rolly, Lucky, and Cadpig didn't want to. Another time the main puppies decided to adopt an elephant that ran away from the circus. In another episode some pups decided to help out pug due to the fact there was a mean dog. Another time Lucky turned into a jerk to get somebody to be his partner on a game show. Another time Roly fell in love with Dumpling. This show can still be found on Toon Disney.

This series of the 101 Dalmatians franchise answers the question of what actually happened after the 101 Dalmatian puppies freed from Cruella came into the life of Roger and Anita to sweeten it a little more. The puppies are housed on a farm and experience great and exciting adventures with a lot of fun and humor. The drawings are also very good, if not in the same cozy style of the original film from 1961. All in all, a really very good series that easily puts you in a good mood and a great addition to the already very good franchise.

Ah, a show that is very nice indeed. Has all that a show could want, comedy, family oriented...stuff... Though, finding the show on TV is basically impossible now with the addition of the whole Jetix block (I myself haven't seen it, but have heard of it) replacing this show and a few others. You wont find it on DVD either though, as the series hasn't even been around to being produced for DVD, whether Disney wants to or not.

Basically, if you are a fan of the series, you can wait for it to come to DVD, but me, if it does, it does, if it doesn't, it doesn't, simple as that really. I'm not worried one bit, however, it was nice to have it on when it was on.

My rating for this show is...an average one, probably.... 6/10 (SpongeBob out does this series either way)

This is probably my favorite show, I have all the episodes on tape, I have all but 101 Dalmatians 2: Patch's London adventure. I don't care what that other dude says; I am 12 and I watch this show, people laugh at me for watching it but I don't care. The greatest Disney creation was 101 Dalmatians, Disney and Dodie Smith were were the greatest people in the world to do all this. You can call me Gipdac, I am on a mission from god to make the world remember 101 Dalmatians, join me my fellow 101 Dalmatians brothers, go to my Cadpig fan site and let us vote for a DVD set, let us black out the non-believers and fight for it! If you want to join me: Gipdac, and the other 101's, E- mail me at jnj1@sbcglobal.net!

Although the original Disney cartoon for the 101 Dalmations was, in my very humble opinion, an awesome show, the series left much to be desired.

Instead of being cute, or old fashioned, or even great storytelling, the series focused on several of the puppies themselves as they were growing up on a farm. The recurring characters are mostly the puppies along with a few other animals thrown in for some diversity.

I think that perhaps if I were much younger, and this was one of my choices for a morning viewing, I would most certainly review my options to see if anything else caught my fancy. Considering this as a choice only if nothing else suited my early morning cartoon desires.

I do like the fact that most every episode teaches some sort of lesson, and it does so without the requirement of going the gross path that some modern cartoons are going, but then I would expect little else of Disney and thus I place them a little higher on the expectation pedestal.

Just my opinion. I hope that you give the show a shot for yourself and then make your own opinion.

Thanks.
