Movie Reviews of 101 Dalmatians II - Patch's London Adventure

Movie Review: A perfect surprise!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

YES!!! Even though this movie shares the same storyline as Lady and the Tramp II, this sequel actually represents the storyline correctly. It also does something that no other sequel has done, it accurately imitates the look and feel of the original. The only thing I missed was the Cruella de Vil song. They should've had it.

If you hadn't already guessed it, the storyline is that Patch, one of the 99 dalmatian puppies, feels like one of many puppies, and he wants to be a one-of-a-kind wonderdog like his TV hero, Thunderbolt. (C'mon, who didn't want to be Roy Rogers, the Lone Ranger, or Annie Oakley when they were kids?) Anyway, it's Patch's dream to go and meet his superhero, Thunderbolt, who just so happened to be coming to London.

Anyway, Roger and Anita Radcliff have wanted to move to a bigger place, because the number of dalmatians is overwhelming for the small house they live in. During the move, Patch gets left behind accidentally. Confused and alone, Patch then seeks his hero.

Meanwhile, Cruella discovers an artist who's artwork consist of, yes, spots. She also bails out Jasper and Horace (who were terrified to be under Cruella's command again) to snatch the puppies away.

One more thing. My favorite character is Little Lightning. In the story, you'll see that Thunderbolt is a bit, ahem, stuck on himself. He has a real ego trip. Little Lightning, who is jealous of living in Thunderbolt's shadow and is constantly ignored by Thunderbolt, plots a way to get rid of Thunderbolt and make himself the star. I feel sorry for him.

Anyway, the only problem I found with this sequel was that Pongo always counted the puppies as 101, but at the end of the movie, 99 puppies were mentioned. HA HA HA HA HA!!! I guess that there will never really be a truly perfect Disney cartoon sequel, but this certainly came as close to perfection as possible.
