Though I grew up watching plenty of Disney films, somehow I barely remember the original animated movie of 101 Dalmatians. I also skipped the 1996 live-action version with Glenn Close as Cruella De Vil, who'd be enemy number one for PETA given her predilection for Dalmatian fur coat. Well, 25 years later we've got an …
