This time, the magic is real.

Fashion designer Anita and computer-game writer Roger meet, fall in love and marry along with their dalmatians Perdita and Pongo. But the proud dogs' puppies are kidnapped by Anita's boss Cruella De Vil, who is stealing young dalmatians to make the coat she has set her heart on. Enlisting the help of the British animal kingdom, Pongo and Perdita set out to find and rescue all ninety-nine pups from their fearsome captors, Jasper and Horace.

Fun Fact: When Glenn Close appeared on the set as Cruella in full fright wig, makeup, and costume, one of the dogs playing Perdy repeatedly tried to slink away.
