enormous fun for both adult and child and this film work on numerous level represent there be everything from car crash and cake in the face to some very good ( yet subtle ) joke for adult . glenn close be at her sublimely evil best a cruella ( ` call me ella ) de ville . after three year in dr. pavlov behaviour modification clinic she be cured of her desire for fur even the puppy skin fur she have so intensely desire . she even have all of her fur coat place in the dungeon of the extraordinary castle she inhabit . but it wouldn not be a dalmatian movie without the subterfuge and machination of cruella and you know that something will change her behaviour modification . and now she need one extra puppy ( hence 102 dalmatian ) to complete her nefarious scheme this time round . ioan gruffudd be instantly appeal a the hero of the film that run the ` second chance dog shelter . though he be in ` titanic and in last year television version ( a pip ) of ` great expectation i do not recognize him while well and he be fifth officer lowe in ` titanic and i do not see ` great expectation so i be not terribly surprise . gerard depardieu do a delightful turn a the furry pawn of cruella . he prance and posture in the most outlandish and outrageous of fur clothing you have ever see and do it well . his wicked witch of the west homage be hilarious . tim mcinnerny be superb be cruella not so evil henchman he be also alonzo and cruella butler and in ` 101 dalmatian and you may also recognize him from all of the ` black adder brit coms . he play his usual bumbling and good hearted and somewhat dim witted character to great effect . oscar for costume be generally give for the entirety of the costuming in a film . this be unfortunate a the clothing wear by glenn close be amaze it be incredibly detailed ( note her handcuff when she be be release from the behaviour modification clinic ) and worthy of such an over the top character . her clothing alone deserve at least an oscar nomination . animation hold a special place in my heart but compare this film to the original animated film be like compare apple to orangutan represent it can not be do . suffice it to say that ` 102 dalmatian be even good than the film version of ` 101 dalmatian that come out in 1996. there be a lot to like here represent from the sight gag and the dialogue and and the costume to the cast it be a good film for the whole family .
