"I live for fur, I worship fur."

On A Look On the Plus Side, we pull a different movie or TV show from Disney+ each week, tell you the history and details, give our review, and tell you if it’s worth your time. 

Join us as we take a nostalgic journey back to 1996 and reexamine the live-action remake that started Disney's transformation! Before CGI lions and magical genies, there was Glenn Close's deliciously wicked Cruella de Vil and 101 adorable spotted pups.

In this video, we explore: How Glenn Close crafted one of Disney's most terrifying villain performances The groundbreaking practical effects that brought 101 real Dalmatians to the screen Why this film kickstarted Disney's live-action remake obsession The cultural impact that made "puppy kidnapper" every 90s kid's worst nightmare How it holds up compared to modern Disney remakes and the 2021 "Cruella" prequel

Whether you grew up hiding behind your sofa cushions when Cruella appeared or you're discovering this gem for the first time, this deep dive reveals why '101 Dalmatians' deserves its spot as a 90s classic that still resonates today. 💬 Share your memories of watching this film in the comments below! Did Cruella terrify you as a child? Do you think it's better than the animated version?
