101 Dalmatians Blu-ray

Walt lamented the fact that he had to surrender his classical line drawn ink and paint animation for the more affordable Xerox process used in Dalmatians. But it suits the story. And the movie remains justly famous for Cruella de Vil, animator Marc Davis' tour de force in Disney villains. Dalmatians marks the break between the lushness of Disney's early animated masterworks (culminating with the extravagant and utterly gorgeous Sleeping Beauty 1959) and what would become the popular and permeating 'style' for Disney animation all the way through to The Little Mermaid (1989). Ground-breaking, yes. But exceptionally entertaining as well, with vocal talents perfectly pitched and Disney's insanity to animate millions of 'spots' on every last dalmatian coat. This disc is region free and sports a perfect reference quality transfer with all the extra features that were available on the 2 disc DVD release from some time ago. Pity Disney hasn't given us this one in North America yet. But at least we can import it (at a price) and enjoy it forever, thanks to region free encoding. Bottom line: highly recommended.

I owned a Dalmatian as a child and my daughter loved the movie as a child too. I told her stories of how my Dalmatian had saved my life. When she was in the hospital receiving a stem cell transplant to save her life from leukemia, one of her doctors told her that Dalmatians were one of the more hypoallergenic dogs. She wanted one more than ever and posted it on Facebook. Her friends bought her one as a surprise last Christmas. It turns out he was born on her transplant date! Dalmatians are a part of our life and the movie really does portray them closer to reality than you could believe!

Great quality Blue ray DVD. Such a classic film.

honestly one of the best disney animated classics to date. The product came in perfect condition and is enclosed in a holographic slip cover that will for sure be worth money by itself. It might be important to note that it is a UK import but it works fine on my play station and I live in the U.S. If your a fan of the disney animations this is a must own

It's a classic. My kids love it, too. It's a bit pointless to have it on Blu-Ray I think, because the animation style is meant to be crude anyway, but at the time I bought it the Blu-ray was a lot cheaper than the dvd. Great film though.

My kids love this movie! It's always fun to watch movies with them that I watched as a child. The blu ray plays great. After reading a few other review I was nervous this would be used but the copy I received appeared to be brand new. Very cute movie and a must have for any Disney movie lover.

It's best to get the Disney editions only if they have the digital copy available. At the price these movies are, I only want to pay for the video once. I got what I paid for.

This was my favorite movie as a child, and now I can share it with my own kids who are now dog lovers as well. Dog lover or not, it is a sweet story! It includes several different bonus features as well as a lovely piece featuring the original voice actors. Not to mention, at a fraction of the cost of certain brick and mortar stores.
