La Carica dei 101

I loved this show! My favorite was Tripod. My fave episode is when the De Vil family tried to get rid of the Dearly family. Yup, those were the days... It's on Toon Disney if you want to see. I recommend this to any kid that loves the movie, or person that is young at heart.

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.

Wow this was so wack. Little to no effort was put into this Disney show. Purely for children or people that want to connect with their 6 year old. I only ended up watching the first season and some of the second season only because I was "attempting" to finish the 101 Dalmatian franchise but there's no way I'm going to actually watch40+ episodes of this mediocre entertainment. I might come back eventually and finish the series just to be a completionist but I really don't see the point other than I sometimes like to succumb myself to garbage.

Edit: So I did end up coming back to this months later to finish the rest of the series (around 45 episodes). I started to loosen up to the child humor and terrible writing, with some of the episodes being somewhat good, surprisingly, most notably the Invasion of the doggy Snatchers episode. Spot really started stealing the show for me, mostly because of her jokes. The three puppies were kind of boring, except Cadpig, as she had a few funny parts too. In all, I still didn't enjoy the show overall but I did enjoy moments, and even enjoyed a couple episodes.

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!

Just for the record, this is not as good as the 1961 animated film, which is a classic, but I think it is better than the sequel, which I was disappointed by. However, this series while having some good moments wasn't particularly good, in my opinion that is.

I liked some of the characters, especially the brave Lucky and the lovely Two-Tone, and the voice acting on the whole is very well done bringing some energy and spirit. Plus every episode moves briskly and the theme tune is pretty funky.

However, there are things I don't like. The animation is not great to me, lacking in colour and too scratchy- before you point the gun at me I know people say that the 1961 film has a scratchy animation style, maybe so, but in an elegant and sophisticated way, whereas the animation here is rushed and lacks finesse, not to mention straight-to- video quality. The stories can be very predictable as well, and the writing while it has its funny and cool moments was uninspired. Then there is Spot, I cannot begin to describe how infuriated I was by Spot, such an unnecessary and annoying character. And I was disappointed by how Cruella was like here, Cruella was truly evil and just a wonderful villainess, here she has lost her class and elegance and her motives get tiresome.

Overall, it has its moments but it should have been better. 5/10 Bethany Cox
