Walt Disney Pictures “spot-lights” comedy, fantasy and fun-filled adventure this holiday season as it unleashes a delightfully different family comedy from producer/writer John Hughes (“Home Alone,” “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’) and director Stephen Herek (“Mr. Holland’s Opus,” “The Mighty Ducks”). In this classic tale of puppy love and dog-napping, the happy household of Dalmatians Pongo and Perdy (and their “human pets” played by Jeff Daniels and Joely Richardson) is thrown into a state of chaos when their new-bom pups are stolen along with a boodle of other Dalmatians from the London area. The fashionable fur-loving Cruella DeVil (deliciously played by Tony Award-winning actress Glenn Close), is the likely suspect in this fur-ocious scheme.

With Pongo, Perdy and a resourceful group of animal allies hot on the trail of the missing puppies, Cruella and her clumsy cohorts shift the comedy and action into high gear as this comical chase races to a delightful conclusion.
