Article

101 Dalmatians is a 1996 American adventure comedy film directed by Stephen Herek and written by John Hughes. It is a live-action remake of Walt Disney's 1961 animated film, which was based on the 1956 novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians. The film stars Glenn Close, Jeff Daniels, Joely Richardson and Joan Plowright. It was produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Great Oaks Entertainment. Unlike the 1961 original film, none of the animal characters speak.

101 Dalmatians was released by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution on November 27, 1996, and grossed $321 million against a $67 million budget, making it the sixth-highest-grossing film of 1996. It received mixed reviews from critics. Close was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, while the film was nominated for a BAFTA Award for Best Makeup and Hair. A sequel, 102 Dalmatians, was released in 2000.
