History YMMV / OneHundredAndOneDalmatians

** [[http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/8582/1269567748473.gif Roger and Pongo have had enough of your bullshit]].

* BrokenBase: Disney buffs can't decide if this film is the start of the Dark Age for the studio. On the one hand, it marked a huge downgrade from the animation of the previous film ''Disney/SleepingBeauty'' thanks to the studio using xerography to photocopy the cells rather than hand-inking them to save money. On the other hand it was still one of the highest grossing Disney films, so some regard it as the final great Disney film before the Dark Age (although some give that to ''Disney/TheJungleBook'' - the last completed film Walt worked on).

* EarWorm:
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEc0woB3piM Cruella de Vil]], Cruella de Vil... if she doesn't scare you, no evil thing will...!'' Arguably justified in its catchiness in that Roger's a musician.

* ''[[YMMV/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians1996 101 Dalmatians]]'' (1996 live-action film)
* ''YMMV/OneHundredAndTwoDalmatians''
* ''YMMV/OneHundredAndTwoDalmatiansPuppiesToTheRescue''

!!The 1996 live-action remake
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHregdIsYyo Rescue]] from the live-action movie. Disney even reused it for the VHS trailer for the 1997 copy of ''Disney/SleepingBeauty'' and the theatrical trailer for ''WesternAnimation/Dougs1stMovie''.
* DracoInLeatherPants: Glenn Close's Cruella gets this, with a tragic traumatic childhood.
* EvilIsSexy: Glenn Close's Cruella has some rather flattering outfits.
* FoeYay: Cruella seems really ''interested'' in Anita. She acts like a WomanScorned upon reading about her marriage announcement in the paper, and says she misses the "interaction" with her at work. It's outright confirmed in the novelization that she had feelings for Anita, and Anita choosing Roger over her is partly what fueled her revenge desire.
* HamAndCheese: It may not be six-time Oscar nominee Glenn Close's most profound role, but she makes a really good Cruella and is clearly having a ball hamming it up.
* JustHereForGodzilla: The only reason most people watch the live-action remake is Glenn Close's Cruella.
* RetroactiveRecognition: Hugh Laurie aka Series/{{House}} as Jasper.
** Horace is [[Film/HarryPotter Arthur Weasley]].
* SpecialEffectsFailure: The scenes where the pups are sliding down a pipe, which uses really, really dated CGI.
* StrawmanHasAPoint: Cruella is presented as a StrawFeminist for warning Anita not to give up her career for marriage, stating, "More good women have been lost to marriage than war, disease, and famine. You have talent, darling, don't squander it." Except... yeah. Why are we supposed to think she's wrong, again? (Though it's worth noting Anita ''does'' keep her fashion designer job after marrying Roger; she just works and mails her sketches from home.)

* AdaptationDisplacement: That's right, there was a book. There was a book called ''One Hundred and One Dalmatians''. People only familiar with the story from the movie might be shocked to find out that Perdita was called 'Missus' (in fact there ''was'' a Perdita in the novel, she was a different character), Cruella had a husband and a pet cat, and a subplot contained Perdita's lost love who went missing. The book had a sequel too, but both the animated and live action sequels were original stories.

* JerkassWoobie: Horace and Jasper could qualify considering they have to endure the berating of their BadBoss Cruella.

* JerkAssWoobie: Skinner, arguably. Horrible and scary though he is, after what the dog did to him, it's not completely beyond the power of imagination how he ended up the way he did.

* MoralEventHorizon: Cruella, Jasper and Horace are already established as cruel for their part in stealing the puppies and even if they didn't know that they were as sapient as they, the fact still remains that they are willing to murder ''dogs'' because of some petty desires. And then they try to run the truck off the road and kill the human driver just to catch the puppies (and if it wasn't for Horace's clumsiness they would have succeeded) sealing the fact that they have no respect for life in general, be it human or animal.

* BrokenBase: The first live-action movie is a base breaker on its own compared to the animated version.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHregdIsYyo Rescue]] from the live-action movie. Disney even reused it for the VHS trailer for the 1997 copy of ''Disney/SleepingBeauty'' and the theatrical trailer for ''WesternAnimation/Dougs1stMovie''.

* AdaptationDisplacement: The book it's based on is far less remembered - and it might shock viewers to discover that Perdita was called 'Missus', Cruella had a husband and a pet cat, and a subplot contained Perdita's lost love who went missing. The book had a sequel too, but both the animated and live action sequels were original stories.

** Neither is the owner of the pug all that bad-looking. The issue there seems to have been more that Pongo felt she wouldn't have been a good match for Roger personality-wise, and the fact that the pug herself was definitely ''not'' his type.

* MoralEventHorizon: Both Cruella and Jasper are already established as cruel for their part in stealing the puppies and even if they don't how that they are sapient they are still willing to murder dogs because of their selfish needs. And then they try to run the truck off the road and kill the human driver just to catch the puppies and if it wasn't for Horace's clumsiness, they might have succeeded, sealing the fact that they have no respect for life, human or animal.

* MoralEventHorizon: Both Cruella and Jasper are already established as cruel for their part in stealing the puppies, but both of them cross the line when they try to run the truck off the road to catch the puppies and if it wasn't for Horace's clumsiness, they might have succeeded.

* AdaptationDisplacement: Though not the worst adaptation displacement for a Disney film.

* AdaptationDisplacement: Though not the worst adaptation displacement for a Disney film

* HollywoodHomely: When Pongo is scouting out a mate for Roger (and himself), the first woman to walk by is a gangly brunette in glasses and a beret, carrying an easel and walking an Afghan hound. Pongo's quick to dismiss the pair, but they weren't really all that bad-looking, and the woman probably wouldn't have been the worst
Pongo is quick to dismiss them both, but she's not at all bad looking, and probably not the worst match for Roger, considering they're both artists.

* LoveToHate: Cruella.

* ValuesDissonance: Pongo hides behind a closed door in another room during Perdita's giving birth to their pups. In the modern-age western world, if a biological mother and biological father are still romantically involved at the time of birth of their child, it can be considered the norm that the father is present at the birth (though some may get squeamish, leading to the trope of them [[PanickyExpectantFather passing out during the birth of their child]])
* ViewerGenderConfusion: Pepper gets one speaking line during the entire film and her voice led many people to believe she was male.

%% Before anyone adds Cruella de Vil as an example of CompleteMonster, bear in mind that according to the Disney CM list, she isn't. If you consider her one, please take it to the Western Animation Disney CM thread.
