Cast: Glenn Close, Jeff Daniels, Joely Richardson
The spots are back, and the fur is about to fly in a high-fashion face-off for the ages. 101 Dalmatians: The Spotted Legacy finds Roger (Jeff Daniels) and Anita (Joely Richardson) living a peaceful, chaotic life on their sprawling Dalmatian plantation. However, the peace is shattered when the fashion world’s most notorious villain, Cruella de Vil (Glenn Close), is released from prison with a rehabilitated image and a brand-new obsession: sustainable, spotted luxury.
Glenn Close returns with her legendary, scenery-chewing brilliance, delivering a Cruella who is more calculated and fabulous than ever. She is joined by her estranged, equally stylish niece (Emma Stone), creating a duo of de Vil danger that threatens to conquer the runway. To execute her latest masterpiece, Cruella re-hires her bumbling henchmen, Jasper (Hugh Laurie) and Horace (Mark Williams), who have spent their years behind bars perfecting useless new hobbies that only make their criminal efforts more disastrously funny.
The stakes go global when Cruella launches a high-tech puppy-napping scheme using silent drones and influencer decoys to track down the descendants of Pongo and Perdy. The dogs, now led by a heroic new generation of pups, must organize a massive, cross-country Twilight Bark to outsmart Cruella’s digital surveillance. From high-speed chases through the streets of London to a messy, mud-filled finale at a gala fashion show, the Dalmatians prove once again that they are far more than just a pattern—they are family.
Packed with adorable canine stunts, breathtaking costume design, and the perfect blend of slapstick humor and heart, The Spotted Legacy is a vibrant tribute to the original. It is a stylish, laugh-out-loud adventure that reminds everyone: fashion fades, but a mother’s love and 101 barking puppies is forever in style.
