Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, 101 Dalmatians Series earns its spot. Visually distinctive and narratively ambitious, 101 Dalmatians Series operates well above the genre average. After foiling Cruella DeVil's plot to make a fur coat with the puppies' skins, the Dearly Family (Roger and Anita Dearly, Nanny, Pongo, Perdita, their 15 birth puppies and 84 adopted puppies) move to a new farm home in the country. Join Pongo and Perdy's pups, brave Lucky, tubby Rolly and Cadpig the runt, together with their chicken friend Spot, as they defend their new home from Cruella DeVil (Anita's boss and now new neighbor), continually get in and out of trouble, sneak into Grutely, and have all sorts of crazy adventures around the farm. Also along for the fun is Tripod, Patch, Two-Tone, Wizzer, Dipstick, Mooch, and the rest of their barnyard friends. The voice work from Kath Soucie and Tara Strong adds real texture, not just recognisable names. 2 seasons (1997–1998) gave the story room most shows never get. The visual gags in 101 Dalmatians Series reward close attention without ever depending on it. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.
