i wouldn not bring a child under 8 to see this . with puppy dangle off of building squirm through dangerous machine and listen to cruella scary laugh to name a few of the event there be entirely too much suspense for a small child . the live action give a more ominous feel than the cartoon version and there be quite a few disquieting moment include some guy that seem to be a transvestite and a lot of tense moment that will worry and may frighten small kid . i do not know what the disney folk be think but neither the story nor the acting be of their usual level . the puppy be cute but this movie be spotty at best .
