History Film / OneHundredAndOneDalmatians1996

* UrineTrouble: Whizzer pees on a magazine cover with Cruella de Vil's face on it during the escpae. This is also Whizzer's entire shtick.

* AdaptationNameChange: Hell Hall is instead called De Vil Manor.

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: The original book and the animated adaptation mention that Anita and Cruella were schoolmates and friends as children. In this film, Cruella is Anita's employer and mentor, with a notable age gap between them.

* AdaptationalNationality: While Roger is an American residing in London, the original book depicts him as an Englishman given the nationality of the book and its author, Dodie Smith.

* AdaptationalVillainy: The Badun brothers, and in particular, Jasper. In the animated version, Horace and Jasper had no real loyalty towards Cruella, and served her primarily only for money, but also out of fear and intimidation from their boss. In the live-action version, the brothers are not only portrayed as more loyal towards Cruella but Jasper has fewer qualms about committing animal cruelty. This is best exemplified when Jasper suggests killing the puppies even when someone else (Skinner) was ''supposed'' to be doing it for them.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* DeadpanSnarker: Cruella can be very sarcastic and snarky in the film:

** "(To Jasper after the puppies are stolen)"My limited faith in your limited intelligence is momentarily restored"
** (To her henchmen in the police van) "Congratulations! You just won gold, silver and bronze in the moron Olympics!"

*** (To Pongo) "Because we are fast approaching the point where we have to start eating table scraps"
*** "I went swimming in the pond" and Anita taking his sarcasm seriously makes it funnier.

** In the animated film, Horace and Jasper were supposed to kill and skin the puppies themselves. This film introduces the character of [[MeaningfulName Mr. Skinner]], who Horace and Jasper are tasked with delivering the puppies to. Though they do consider doing the job themselves when Mr. Skinner is late.

* DisappointedInYou: Cruella was furious when her best employee Anita got married, earlier she tries to discourage her from such things as married/family life would damper her potential. When Anita refuses to sell the puppies to her, Cruella fires her from her job.

* MassOhCrap: Cruella and her minions, when they realise her handbag is a [[SmellySkunk pissed off skunk]] that they're locked in a confined space with.

* SuddenlyVoiced: Skinner, but only at the end of the film when the skunk starts spraying does he make one shriek of horror.

''101 Dalmatians'' is a 1996 live-action adaptation of Disney's ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'', starring Creator/GlennClose as [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Cruella de Vil]], Creator/JeffDaniels as Roger Dearly, Creator/JoelyRichardson as Anita Campbell-Green-Dearly, Creator/HughLaurie as Jasper and Mark Williams as Horace. The story is updated to the (then-) PresentDay (thus, TheNineties), and the animal characters don't speak this time. It was written and produced by Creator/JohnHughes and directed by Stephen Herek.

* AdultFear:
** Pongo and Perdita realize something is wrong while on a walk with their humans. They immediately rush home and find the puppies missing. When Roger and Anita arrive, Perdita's sadly lying in the basket where her puppies were.
** When Pongo and Perdita run away, Nanny tells a worried Roger and Anita that they're searching for the puppies.
** Anita and Roger also have this reaction when Anita finds her drawing of the dog skin coat. She tells Roger with a horrified expression, "[[OhCrap She's going to kill the puppies]]".

* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Cruella and Jasper are choleric, Horace is phlegmatic / sanguine, and Mr. Skinner is melancholic.

* AdaptationalIntelligence: The Dearlys, Nanny and the police serve as this. When the puppies are kidnapped, Anita is more than open to the possibility that Cruella took them for petty reasons and realizes it when she finds her Dalmatian coat drawing. Nanny intuits that Perdita and Pongo have gone to search for the puppies, and she is right. Meanwhile the police ''do'' find the evidence that Cruella is the most likely suspect to take the puppies and she's arrested for having other illegal furs, including a tiger that was killed for its skin in London Zoo earlier in the film. They also rescue the puppies, Pongo and Perdita, giving them a ride home.

* DarkerAndEdgier: This film is a good deal grimmer than the original animated version, and even the original book. The opening scenes include a news report about a tiger in a zoo being illegally killed for its skin, showing the lengths Cruella will go to for her furs; Cruella's henchman [[MeaningfulName Mr. Skinner]] is terrifying; Anita flatout realises that Cruella plans to kill the puppies for her coat...

* HoistByHerOwnPetard: Cruella's love of fur includes her having a rare Siberian tiger illegally slaughtered for its pelt; later, she organizes the theft of Pongo and Perdy's litter to spite their owners. On top of the dogs finding and rescuing all the puppies she was planning to use for her coat, Anita and Roger were already suspicious of Cruella after her fury at being denied the puppies, so they realize what she's planning and get the Metropolitan Police to raid her house, where the discovery of the tiger pelt alone is enough to get a warrant for her arrest.

* AllThereInTheManual: ''All'' of the puppies' names are found only in promotional materials for the film.

--> '''Jasper (examining one of Skinner's tools):''' God, bloody gruesome line of work you're in Skinner.\\

** Anita gets some key moments. She clonks Roger in the face to rescue Perdita, whom Roger had mistaken for Pongo, and explains she keeps bricks in her purse for that purpose. Later, ''she'' is the one who gives the final refusal to Cruella about selling the puppies, though Roger is the first to declare it.

* TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects: All three builds of Roger's game display this. The gameplay environments are all CG with 2D sprites of the characters. AnimatedAdaptation: Interestingly enough, the designs for Pongo and two of the puppies (Patches and Whizzer) in the footage are from the original 1961 film, with the dogcatcher and the plumber drawn in a similar style. Cruella's design in the game is based directly on Glenn Close herself rather than the original Marc Davis design from the film, but reverted back to the Marc Davis design in [[VideoGame/OneHundredAndOneDalmatiansEscapeFromDeVilManor the tie-in game]].

** When the puppies are about to receive their collars, they are shown watching TV much like in the original film when they watched ''Thunderbolt''. Here they are shown watching Disney's own [[WesternAnimation/TheAristocats]], during the closing of the "Everybody Wants to be a Cat" sequence, and ''[[Film/HomewardBoundTheIncredibleJourney]]'', showing Shadow being reunited with Peter.

** This may be justified as Horace's expression shows he's merely mocking her for his amusement.

* FauxAffablyEvil: Cruella.

* LargeHam / EvilIsHammy: Glenn Close knew this was a great role for the application of ''mountains'' of ham, and she brought it all with her. Her legendary talent let her pull it off while making it look easy.

* LoveAtFirstSight: Perdita for Pongo, and vice versa.

* MisplacedWildlife: Raccoons and a skunk in England.
** What's ''really'' weird is that all filming was done in England.
** Justified in a bizarre way. There are feral populations of raccoons and skunks in England. Long story short, they were bred for the fur trade (and as exotic pets) but ended up escaping into the wild and breeding. It's not so much a case of misplaced wildlife in fiction, but rather a case of misplaced wildlife in RealLife.
* MythologyGag: The dalmatian that appears in Roger's video game strong resembles Pongo's animated counterpart.
** Also, Cruella. In the game, she chases after the puppies in her car like in the animated film, and sports her animated counterpart's NightmareFace.
** When the puppies are about to recieve their collars, they are shown watching TV much like in the original film when they watched ''Thunderbolt''. Here they are shown watching Disney's own [[WesternAnimation/TheAristocats]], during the closing of the "Everybody Wants to be a Cat" sequence, and ''[[Film/HomewardBoundTheIncredibleJourney]]'', showing Shadow being reunited with Peter.

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Glenn Close. Her American accent is constantly poking through in the vowels.
** And right before that when Anita tells Cruella that she's having a baby, "You know what they say, accidents may happen!"

* PimpedOutDress: Some of Cruella's outfits.

-->'''Cruella:''' My business, my reputation, my life, has been ruined because [[{{Hypocrite}} you three incompetent twits let yourselves be outsmarted by a bunch of dumb animals!]] And you call yourselves men? HUH?! I've seen more intelligent pieces of carpet!
** What follows next is that they are sprayed by a skunk that Cruella had confused for her handbag.

** Why do [[UsefulNotes/BritishNewspapers National Newspapers]] like ''The Independent'' have reports on two relative nobodies getting married? Or make the kidnapping of fifteen puppies front page headline news? While Anita did work as a fashion designer for Cruella's fashion house and she and Cruella are on a first name basis, there's little on screen to imply she's particularly notable within the company - Cruella's only really interested in Anita's work when she designs the coat (her original idea being for [[ItsFakeFurItsFine FAKE fur]]). On the other hand, Cruella does try to discourage Anita from getting married out of fear of squandering her talent, so it might be that Anita is more up and coming than we really see in story.
*** Based on the other articles, the wedding was probably announced in the 'Births, Deaths and Marriage' section. Most English newspapers have them, some even include pictures.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Cruella stealing Pongo and Perdy's litter to spite Anita and Roger ends up causing her downfall. The dogs muster the twilight bark, go to rescue their children and ruin her operation in Suffolk; meanwhile the humans naturally suspect Cruella of organizing the theft, Anita thinks back to the Dalmatian skin coat she designed, she puts two and two together and they ''immediately'' call the police to search the de Vil house.

* UrineTrouble: A dog pees on a magazine cover with Cruella de Vil's face on it. This is also Whizzer's entire shtick.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: Mr. Skinner. While Cruella is this as well, she is hammy and [[LaughablyEvil laughably evil]] at times. But with Skinner, there are no such moments, apart from Horace's comments. He [[TheVoiceless never utters any dialogue]] because a dog tore open his throat (with a visible scar shown), and he has a permanent leer on his face. His job is basically skinning animals and turning them into coats for Cruella. He was about to do so to Lucky, until another dog ''mauls'' Skinner with a shot in the shadows. He is '''[[NightmareFuel terrifying]]''' as a result. Notably, he does not encounter any slapstick in the film like Horace, Jasper, or even Cruella.

When the puppies are kidnapped, Anita is more than open to the possibility that Cruella took them for petty reasons and realizes it when she finds her Dalmatian coat drawing.
