101 Dalmatians
101 Dalmatians is a 1996 American adventure comedy film produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Great Oaks Entertainment, and distributed by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution. Directed by Stephen Herek from a screenplay by John Hughes (who co-produces the film), it is a live-action remake of the 1961 animated film One Hundred and One Dalmatians, which was based on the 1956 novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians by Dodie Smith. The film stars Glenn Close, Jeff Daniels, Joely Richardson, Joan Plowright, Hugh Laurie, Mark Williams, and John Shrapnel. Unlike the 1961 original film, none of the animals speak.
Plot
American video game designer Roger Dearly lives with his pet Dalmatian Pongo in London. Roger develops a video game featuring dog chase, but it is rejected because the villain is inadequate. His attempts to redesign the game prove unsatisfactory.
