Rating:  Summary: Disney did it again Review: Boring and dull. The same as other Disney's attempts to create sequels like "Tarzan and Jane" or "Jungle Book 2". We couldn't actually watch the whole movie, so bad it is, stopped it somewhere in the middle and tossed into the place I will never ever find it again. One word - horrible.
Rating:  Summary: Very Well Done Disney! :) Review: Finally, a part II that lives up to the classic! Why the four starzzzz???? It still has it's ups and downs! I feel the voices should have matched a little better. I felt that the animation was a little better than other Disney Part 2s! It adds up to being one of the top five best part lls so far! :) GREAT JOB DISNEY! FINALLY LOL!
Rating:  Summary: decent animated sequel to the 1961 Disney classic Review: Set immediately after the ending of the original 1961 film, Patch's London Adventure begins as Roger and his wife, Nanny and 101 dalmatians are moving out to their "dalmatian plantation". Unfortunately in all the excitement Patch has been left behind, so he begins to make his way across London when he meets his hero, Thunderbolt. At the same time, Cruella has fallen off the fur coat wagon, broken Jasper and Horace out of jail, teamed up with an abstract painter and begun looking for the puppies.The action here is more muddled than in the original. Also, a lot of favorite characters are ignored or missing; for instance, when Roger finds out Patch is not at the farm, he and Anita, Pongo and Perdita take off in a car to find him, but we don't see them again until the last scene. Neither do we see hide nor hair of the Great London Barking Chain and its charming denizens such as The Colonel and Sgt. Tibbs. DVD features include a trivia game, an interactive look inside Thunderbolt's trailer, a 7-minute making-of featurette, two music videos and 7 trailers. Audio is in English or French, and subtitles are available only in English. Because the placement of the live-action sequel starring Glenn Close takes place after these events, it might be fun and less confusing to watch the original and then this one as a double feature.
Rating:  Summary: Great sequel. Review: I like this particular Disney sequel a lot--and that's not a commonly stated thing. Lars and Little Lightning are easily two of the best newer Disney characters. And the entire film is well-made and enjoyable. However, my one issue with the movie is that Lightning the pembroke corgi is made out, just a little bit, to be a sort of 'bad guy.' He isn't in the least. He didn't start out as a treacherous little dog looking to outshine the 'hero,' Thunderbolt. Au contraire, he spent a lot of time just trying to make the best of being in that ham's shadow. Lightning was a great dog, from the beginning and through to the end. Is it any wonder that at one point he would try to take the TV show for himself? After being treated as an underdog, a mere sidekick, receiving no attention, having to watch the girls swoon over Thunderbolt and shun him? Hardly. Yet this means the movie is successful in creating a character inspiring sympathy. So bravo, Disney; if you could turn out a few more sequels on this level it would be a whole lot nicer!
Rating:  Summary: Lil' Lightning is the BEST! Review: I love that movie, is funny and very very cute.
The only bad thing that I can see in it is that, in the end, Lightning don't finish in a very good way... and I feel sorry for him. He was always living in the shadow of Thunderbolt, who was a very vain dog (for luck, Patch change him), and that explain his mean conduct. You're very cute and lovely, Lightning! (And thanks to him I investigate about his race, and now... I love the Pembroke Welsh Corgis!)
Rating:  Summary: Original is better Review: You just can't beat the original. The original flowed, this one doesn't. In the original Pongo was a dad that was looked up to and he was a hero, in this one Pongo is a dad looked down on . Thunderbolt has to "find himself", with all the emotional conflict of whether or not he wants to be a real hero or not is too much for a kid to enjoy, much less the adult having to watch this nonsense. Stick to the original.
