Right now you can watch 101 Dalmatian Street in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Disney Plus — and the writing holds up regardless of the format's reputation. Across 1 season, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. With 29 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. A harder one to justify skipping than to start. Start it on Disney Plus whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

101 Dalmatian Street is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. 101 Dalmatian Street treats animation as a medium, not a limitation. Follow the adventures of eldest siblings Dolly and Dylan, their Mum Delilah and Dad Doug, and their 97 younger brothers and sisters as they embark on urban adventures and extreme sibling rivalry. Together, the pups explore growing up and finding their own spot inside the biggest, messiest, furriest blended family ever. Margot Powell and Michaela Dietz bring voice work that does more than the format usually asks for. It was aired in 2019. The animation style is distinctive enough to be immediately recognisable, but it is the writing underneath that keeps viewers coming back for more. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

If you have been sleeping on 101 Dalmatian Street because of the format, the format is not the issue here. Viewers who responded to Animaniacs will find a lot to like here too. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Visually distinctive and narratively ambitious in ways that hold up regardless of format. Worth watching in order from the beginning.
