** Jasper does [[CurbstompCushion briefly turn the fight serious]], kicking Pongo hard into a wall and almost smashing his skull in with a crowbar. Pongo recovers and dodges just in time and bites Jasper hard in the ass for it. Given the crowbar smashes a large portion of wall where Pongo's head was a second before, it's reminder that the dogs, while doing a slapstick number on the two, are still taking out two dangerous criminals.

* Can the Panther de Ville get one? Cruella's car is so heavily associated with her that it's almost impossible to see her without it. The Panther de Ville is an excellent candidate for Cruella's car in live-action and has become as iconic to Cruella as the red roadster is in the animated movie.

** The great dane of Hampstead, the first dog Pongo is able to contact, is a majestic dog with a bellowing bark that sounds like a lion roaring.

** Their efforts are somewhat undercut by the fact that kicking Jasper and Horace through the wall [[NiceJobBreakingItHero lets them glimpse the snow tracks the dogs left behind]]. The Colonel seems to realize this, as his face suggests that he was thinking, "What the hell did those two just do?!" and probably rightly so.

* You do NOT want to get caught trying to hurt [[BattleCouple Pongo and Perdita's]] pups, trust us. Jasper and Horace learned that the hard way...
** Just them smashing through the window and standing there for a moment, growling and baring their teeth. A reminder of how pants-shittingly ''terrifying'' our four-legged friends can be when they're pissed off.
** The fight between Pongo and Perdita vs. Horace and Jasper is awesome by itself. Just as Jasper is about to swing a chair at Perdita, who’s busy attacking Horace, Pongo responds by charging at Jasper, saving his mate’s life.



** As with ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp'', Disney reminds us that our sweet, loving canine companions are absolutely capable of being terrifyingly vicious in defense of those they love.
** Plus the Captain and the Colonel's final scene where the Colonel promises to hold Jasper and Horace off and the Captain giving the crooks a firm kick in the pants!

** The Colonel, who up till now has mostly acted as a bystander due to being a ScatterbrainedSenior, acts courageously by barking menacingly at the two crooks, luring them inside the barn and distracting them so they don't know they're right behind Captain's rear end.
** Sergeant Tibbs watches quietly from atop Captain's head, and tells the horse to "ready" and "aim." He then gives the signal to "fire" by pulling down Captain's ear like a trigger.
** The Captain "fires" by using his back leg to kick Jasper through the barn wall, then does the same thing to Horace.
*** The Captain used his left back leg to "aim," then dropped it and used his right back leg to "fire," all in the span of about three to four seconds. [[WatsonianVersusDoylist Either that horse is very fast, or the animator goofed up majorly.]]

* Also something that shouldn't be forgotten is how much of a boss Nanny is. When Cruella barges into Anita and Roger's house and calls the newborn puppies "mongrels" Nanny unapologetically refuses to be swayed and gets right in her face (Cruella's facial expression is all 'My gosh, I'm being scolded by a pipsqueak'). And when Jasper and Horace break into the house and lock her up, she still fights them. She's very loyal to Roger and Anita and characters underestimate her devotion to serving them.

** Tibbs is so awesome that a spin-off book has the puppies outright [[HeroWorship hero worshiping]] him and acting like they had just received a parental lecture when he calmly points out that he can't bark. For context, one of the background pups, Missy was being teased that she can't bark. And Missy herself gets an awesome moment where she barks for the first time in her life to save her family from Horace and Jasper.

* Ultimately the whole movie is a crowning moment of awesome for the entire dog community of Southern England. In the teeth of an unusually cold winter they networked together, found the puppies in a single night and pulled off a complex rescue mission across a hundred miles of countryside using only their own resources in perhaps another two. Badass adorable indeed.
* An offscreen aversion of PoliceAreUseless, Cruella shows up to order the puppies executed because "The Police are everywhere," and she clearly freaking out at the chance she's going to be nicked for the dog snatch. Chances are given another day or two the Police would have caught her and shut down the whole operation. Although since this would be after the Puppies were all murdered it's still a good thing the dogs got there faster.

* The Diamond Edition Blu-Ray release of the 1961 film included one heck of a [[DVDBonusContent bonus feature]]: The second half of Thunderbolt's adventure chasing Dirty Dawson, made as closely to the original as possible[[note]](with the exception of not being blurry, of course)[[/note]], complete with the puppies interrupting at times. Yes, Disney loved this film so much as to make a 2-minute short laying rest to the [[CliffHanger cliffhanger]] from the episode seen in the movie.

* Anita gets another special mention at the start of the film. When Roger mistakenly grabs Perdy instead of Pongo, Anita approaches him demanding that he release Perdy. When he doesn’t comply, she whacks him with her purse, which has bricks inside. Anita made it clear that if anybody were to try taking her dog, she will not hesitate to get Perdy back.

* The collie that runs after the Pongos to get them out of the storm, which absolutely saved their lives. The dogs of the countryside had apparently set up a 24-hour watch, specifically for the purpose of helping the dalmatian caravan get home safely, and the Collie's appearance and reassuring voice was just an overwhelming rush of relief.
* Later on the Labrador that helps them get on the truck and then runs back to stop Horace and Jasper, giving the dalmatians just enough time to escape.
* The truck driver doing his best to fight back against Cruella in the climax. He doesn't realize there are a hundred and one dalmatians hitching a ride in the back of his truck, just that there's a crazy [[WomenDrivers woman driver]] practically hanging off the back of it, and he's ''not'' going to put up with her shenanigans.
* Said chase between Cruella and the truck reaching its climax when Horace and Jasper, intending to ''ram'' the truck and send it down the ditch, instead ram into Cruella's car when Horace panics and pulls out the steering wheel, causing both vehicles to ''disintegrate in mid-air''! The truck and the dalmatians within are all safe and head for home, while Cruella and the Badduns are left to mope among the shattered remains of both vehicles.
