Perdy... I'm afraid it's all up to us.
Oh, Pongo. Isn't there any hope?
Well, yes. There's the twilight bark.
The twilight bark? But dear, that's only a gossip chain.
Darling, it's the very fastest way to send news. And if our puppies are anywhere in the city, the London dogs will know. Now we'll send the word tonight when our pets take us for a walk in the park.
Perdy, I've got an idea! [rolls around in soot]
Pongo, what on Earth...?
Look! I'm a Labrador! We'll all roll in the soot! We'll all be Labradors!
Say! That is an idea!
Come on, kids! Roll in the soot!
You mean you want us to get dirty?
Did you hear that, Freckles? Dad wants us to get dirty.
Mother, should we?
Do as your father says.
This'll be fun!
I always wanted to get good and dirty! [They all giggle while rolling in the soot]
For the first six months and so… we lived in a small house near the park. A modest little place, but just right for two couples who were just starting out.
Perdita, darling, are you all right?
Oh, of course, dear. After all, dogs were having puppies long before our time. [licks Pongo on the face to reassure him, as a smile runs across his face]
Oh, that’s Nanny, a wonderful cook and housekeeper. She’s such a kind, understanding soul. You know, at times she seems almost canine.
Roger, dear, tea time. Tea time!
Be down in a minute. [comes out of his study, scatting and whistling to the lyrics of the song] Do you like my new song?
Melody first, my dear. And then, the lyrics, hmm?
[Roger and Anita rub noses and share a good laugh.]
Oh, Pongo… it’s her. It’s that devil woman.
Oh, must be Cruella, your dearly devoted old schoolmate. Cruella de Vil. That’s it! ♪Cruella de Vil, Cruella de Vil, If she doesn't scare you, No evil thing will... To see her is to, Take a sudden... chill! Cruella, Cruella de Vil. The curl of her lips, the ice in her stare. All innocent children had better beware. She's like a spider waiting, For the kill... Look out for Cruella de Vil!♪
Oh, Roger. Ohh! Roger, she’ll hear you! Let her in, Nanny.
How are you?
Miserable, darling, as usual. Perfectly wretched! Where are they? Where are they? For heaven sakes, where are they?
Who, Cruella?
The puppies! The puppies. No time for games. Where are the little brutes?
It’ll be at least three weeks. No rushing these things.
Anita, you’re such a wit. Here, dog, here. Here, dog.
Cruella, isn’t that a new fur coat?
My only true love, darling. I live for furs. I worship furs! Is there a woman in this wretched world who doesn’t?
Oh, I’d like a nice fur, but there are many other things…
Sweet, simple Anita. I know, I know! This horrid little house is your dream castle... [walks over to the coffee table and rudely sticks her cigarette in one of the cupcakes, ruining the frosting] And poor Roger is your bold and fearless Sir Galahad! [bursts out laughing]
Oh, Cruella...
Then, of course, you have your little spotted friends. Oh, yes, I must say, such perfectly beautiful coats.
Won’t you have some tea?
I’ve got to run. Let me know when the puppies arrive. You will, won’t you, dear?
Yes, Cruella.
Don’t forget, it’s a promise. See you in three weeks. Cheerio, darling. [shuts door]
Ohh!
♪At first you think, Cruella is the devil. But after time has worn, Away the shock... You come to realize, You've seen her kind of eyes, Watching you from underneath, A rock! This vampire bat, This inhuman beast, She ought to be locked up, And never released, The world was such, A wholesome place until, Cruella, Cruella de Vil!♪
That witch. That devil woman. She wants our puppies. That’s all she’s after.
Don’t worry, Perdy. They’re on to her. Nothing’s going to happen to our puppies.
But, what does she want with them? She can’t possibly love them. Oh, Pongo. I was so happy at first, but now I… [tears up] Oh, I… I wish we weren’t having any. [sobs]
C’mon, Thunderbolt.
C’mon, Thunderbolt.
Go get him, Thunder.
After him, boy.
He’ll get that dirty ol’ horse thief.
Old Thunderbolt’s the greatest dog in the whole world.
He’s even better than Dad.
No dog’s better than Dad.
What’s he going to do, Dad?
Shh, shh. Let’s just wait and see.
Look at him run, the old coward.
That old dirty Dawson! The yellow-livered old skunk! I’d like to tear his gizzard out.
Why, Patch, where did you ever hear such talk? Certainly not from your mother. [angrily scowls at Pongo, who smirks back at her]
Watch out, Thunder.
Don’t worry, Penny. He’ll get that yellow-livered… Well, he’ll get him, all right.
Lucky, get down. We can’t see.
Mother, make him get down.
C’mon, Lucky. Down, dear.
Missed him! Missed him by a mile!
I’m hungry, mother. I’m hungry.
Rolly, you’ve just had your dinner.
But I am, just the same. I’m so hungry I could eat… a whole elephant.
Shh!
There he is, behind that rock.
Oh, dear. He shot poor Thunder.
He missed him. Ol’ Thunder’s pretending… I think. See? What did I tell you? That’s one of his tricks.
Lucky, get down.
We want to go fighting, Thunder.
I’m hungry, Mother. I really am.
Don’t miss next week’s episode. Who will triumph?
Ol’ Thunder always wins!
And speaking of champions, friends, Kanine Krunchies is the champion of all dog biscuits.
♪Kanine Krunchies can’t be beat, They make each meal a special treat, Happy dogs are those who eat nutritious Kanine Krunchies! Kanine Krunchies all contain Selected meat and wholesome grain, Toy Chihuahua and Great Dane All love Kanine Krunchies!♪
Perdy, we better get these little nippers off to bed if we’re going for a w-a-l-k.
We want to go too, Mother.
Can we, Mother? Can we?
We never get to go.
Come along, children. Bedtime.
But we’re not a bit... [yawns] Sleepy. We want to go for a walk in the park.
Dad, can we?
Better do as your mother says. [counts the puppies to keep track.] One, two, three, four… five, six… seven… eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen…
I’m not sleepy. I’m hungry.
Fourteen... Hmm? [sees Lucky sitting back at the TV set]
So... Do what all the smart dogs do, And you'll feel great the whole day through, You can be a champion too, If you eat Kanine Krunchies!
Now, Remember, friends. Just send five…
There’s no one out tonight. I’m afraid it’s too cold.
We’ve got to keep trying, Perdy." [hears barking nearby] Perdy, we’re in luck! It’s the Great Dane at Hampstead. [barks in response, which angers Roger]
Pongo, quiet, boy! Do you wanna stir up the whole neighborhood? Come on, Pongo.
Perdy, come on, girl!
Let’s go, boy. Oh, Pongo, you old idiot! Come on, now! We’re going home! [angrily drags Pongo to bring him home]
What is it, Danny? Who’s on the telegraph?
It’s Pongo, Regents Park! It’s an all-dog alert.
What’s it all about? What's the word? Tell me, Danny! Tell me, tell me! Tell me!
Wait a minute, wait a minute. Well, now… Hmm, that is something.
What, Danny? What’s something?
15 Dalmatian puppies, stolen!
Have they called the police? Scotland Yard?
The humans have tried everything. Now, it’s up to us dogs... and the Twilight Bark!
I’ll sound the alert! [barks so loudly and rapidly that he bounces like a jackhammer and grips on the column to prevent himself from falling off]
Woof! Woof!
Ah! [goes to a drainpipe and barks the message up through the drainpipe, where it reaches Prissy's apartment. As Prissy's owner uses her as a model for her new art project, Prissy runs to the window and barks in reply, until her owner yanks her back inside]
Prissy's owner: Prissy, come in here!
Coco's Owner: Coco! Be quiet now!
Aw, shut up! Quiet! [angrily shouting] WILL YOU BE QUIET?!
What is it, Pongo? What is it?
It's the Great Dane. He has news for us. He'll meet us at Primrose Hill.
How'll we get out?
The back bedroom window. It's always open a wee bit. C'mon.
Pongos, you've made it. Good.
What's the word? What's the news?
Have they found our puppies?
They've been located somewhere north of here in Suffolk.
Oh, thank heavens.
Can you leave tonight?
Yes, yes, of course.
We can leave right away.
Good! I'll go along as far as Camden Road and give you instructions.
And when you reach Withermarsh, contact old Towser. He'll direct you to the Colonel, and the Colonel will take you to your puppies at the De Vil place.
De Vil?!
Oh, Pongo, it was her!
Oh, someone you know?
I hope we're not too late.
Good luck, Pongos and farewell! If you lose your way, contact the barking chain! They'll be standing by!
[The next morning, Pongo and Perdita run along through the English countryside. Pongo stops to let Perdita catch up with him, and both parents continue their journey. Soon, it starts to snow, as the two jump over a fence and dodge an incoming moving van that honks at them. Pongo and Perdita tread through a creek and reach dry land. Later, a snowstorm hits, almost making the journey hard for them as they plow through the snowdrifts. Soon, they come across a river, where packs of snow flow quickly through it. Pongo is the first to tread through the water. The river's current and the snow push him back, as Pongo searches for another way to swim through. Perdita jumps in the river and swims quickly to catch up with him]
Oh, Pongo, Pongo, I'm afraid we're lost.
It can't be far. [barks loudly to get the Colonel's attention]
By Jove! It can't be the Pongos. [gallops and barks in response, until he slips on a frozen pond and into a snowbank, where he continues barking]
Oh, Pingo! Uh... Uh... Pongo?
Our puppies! Our puppies, are they all right?
No time to explain. There's trouble. A big hullabaloo. Come along! Follow me!
Ah, ha-ha-ha! Now, we’ve got ‘em, Horace. They‘ve run out of room! [Pongo and Perdita suddenly crashes in, snarling] Hey, what have we got here?! A couple of spotted hyenas?! C’mon, Horace, old pal! [they both start attacking] Give ‘em what for! I’m right behind ya, lad!
Oof! Oh, you clumsy clod! [angrily kicks Horace]
Hey, Jasper! I’ll knock the spots off you! Let go! Let go!
Well, by George!
You mangy mongrel!
I’ll knock your blinkin' block off! [smashes the wall with his crowbar]
YEOW!!
No, no, Colonel! Retreat, retreat!
Yes. Oh, yes, of course. Retreat! Retreat, on the double!
Help, Jasper, Jasper! Get me out of here!
Hey, Horace, they’re fighting dirty!
Oh, oh, oh! [falls in the fireplace] Oh, oh, oh! [hits his head in the fireplace and bolts away, as he puts out the flames on the seat of his pants] JASPER!
HORACE!
C’mon, Perdy. Let’s go.
I’ll skin every one of them little spotted hyenas, if it’s the last thing I do!
Dad! Mother!
"I missed you, Mummy."
"Here we are, Mummy."
Oh, my darlings... my darlings!
How'd you find us, Dad?
Oh, Daddy!
And Rolly, you little rascal!
"Did you bring me anything to eat?"
Everybody here? All 15?
Twice that many, Dad. Now there's 99 of us!
"What? 99...?" [sees the 84 extra dalmatian puppies sitting on the hay bales] Where did they all come from?
What on earth would she want with so many?
She's gonna make coats out of us.
She couldn't!
Horace and Jasper were gonna pop us off and... skin us!
"She's a devil, a witch! What'll we do?"
We have to get back to London somehow.
What about the others? What'll they do?
"Perdy, we'll take them home with us; all of them. Our pets would never turn them out."
Colonel, sir, lights on the road. It's a truck headin' this way. [sees the Baduns driving their truck down the road as their follow their tracks]
It's the Baduns, Horace and Jasper. They're following our tracks.
"Well, we've got 'em out numbered, Tibs. When I give the signal, we'll attack.
"Colonel, sir, I'm afraid that would be disastrous."
"Ahem! Oh, you think so?"
He's right, Colonel. We'd better run for it.
Out the back way, across the pasture.
Thank you, Sergeant, Colonel, Captain.
Bless you all.
How can we ever repay you?
Ahem! Nothing at all. All in the line of duty.
That's right, sir... routine.
Better be off. Here they come.
C'mon, kids, hurry. [leads the puppies out the barn and across the pasture]
"Good luck, Pongos.
Yes, good luck, and never fear! We'll hold them off 'til the bitter end!
Now, what's this? Hey, out of my way, you barkin' haystack, or I'll knock your blinkin' block off!
Well, they ain't in here, Jasper.
No. They're hiding in the hay. Here, give me a match. We'll burn 'em out.
Ready, Captain. Aim... Fire one! [pulls down Captain's ear, letting him kick Jasper in the butt and into the barn roof, surprising Colonel] Fire two! [fires Captain's leg, kicking Horace in the butt and right into the barn roof where Jasper is]
Hey! There they go, the little sneaks! C'mon, Horace, back to the truck. We'll head 'em off in half a mile. [rush back outside, where Jasper rides up in the truck and lets his brother get on, drive down the country road and stop at a bridge, where they shine their flashlights on a frozen creek] Ah, they gotta be around here somewhere.
Jasper, I've been thinkin'.
Now, Horace.
Well, what if they went down the froze-up creek so's not to leave their tracks?
Aw, Horace, you idiot! Dogs ain't that smart. [starts up the truck and drives off into the distance]
We gave 'em the slip! [slips on the ice in front of Pongo] Didn't we, Dad?
They didn't even see us, Patch!
Shh, children. Children, shh.
My feet are slippery. I wish we could walk on the snow.
No, son, we can't leave tracks. [follows the dalmatians behind with Lucky in his teeth. His hind legs slip on the ice, then he stands back up and resumes following them]
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98... [sees Lucky struggling to keep up with the rest of the group] Oh, Lucky! [grabs Lucky with his teeth and carries him the rest of the way] C'mon, Lucky boy. We can't give up now.
I'm tired and I'm hungry and my tail's froze... and my nose is froze and my ears are froze. And my toes are froze.
Pongo! Pongo! Pongo! [meets up with Pongo and Lucky] We'd just about lost hope. We have shelter for you... at the dairy barn across the road.
Oh, thank goodness. [runs to Perdita who is leading the rest of the puppies and calls out to her] Perdy! Perdy! This way, Perdy. The dairy barn across the road.
C'mon, kids.
It's not far. C'mon, this way. Follow the collie.
Just look, Queenie. Have you ever seen so many puppies?"
Aren't they adorable!
Perfectly darling.
The poor, little dears. They're completely worn out and half frozen!
They all here, Pongo?
The famous Pongos. We were so worried about you.
Been trying to reach you for hours. Afraid you'd been captured.
How did you make it all this way? And in such dreadful weather?
And with all those little ones.
I'm hungry, Mother. I'm hungry.
I'm hungry, too.
Mother, we're hungry.
We're all hungry.
I'm sorry, children.
Do they like warm milk? It's fresh.
Oh.
Where, mother? Where is it?
Where is the milk?
Come and get it, kids. It's on the house.
This way, children. Around this way. Now, don't crowd. You'll have to take turns. Rolly, wait your turn, dear.
Don't worry, kids. There's plenty for all. Ooh! The little darlings.
Pongo, a few scraps I saved for you and the missus.
Oh, thank you.
It's not much, but it might hold you as far as Dinsford.
Huh? Dinsford?
Yes, there's a Labrador there. His pet is a grocer.
Oh, quite all right. Quite all right. Now, get some rest and don't worry. I'll be standing watch. [goes outside to keep an eye out for Cruella and the Baduns]
I don't know what we'd have done if...
Oh, we're very honoured to be of service.
We're only sorry we can't do more.
Anyone who would think of hurting these dear, little puppies...
Shh! Duchess!
They're so dear.
I wish they could stay with us for always.
Princess, shh. Quiet, everyone. Let them sleep, the poor things. They're so exhausted, and they still have such a long way to go.
[The camera fades out on the cows and the puppies]
Pongo, I’ve got a ride home for you!
A ride home? Perdy, did you hear that?
Pongo, there she is: Cruella.
Yes… and Jasper and Horace.
Pongo, how will we get to the van?
I don’t know, Perdy. But somehow, we’ve got to.
Mother, Dad, Patch pushed me in the fireplace.
Lucky pushed me first.
Did not.
Did too.
Did not.
Did too.
Did not! [angrily sticks a tongue at Patch]
Please, children, don't quarrel.
Say...Perdy, I've got an idea. [rolls around in soot]
Pongo, what on Earth...?
Look! I'm a Labrador! We'll all roll in the soot! We'll all be Labradors!
Say! That is an idea!
Come on, kids! Roll in the soot!
You mean you want us to get dirty?
Did you hear that, Freckles? Dad wants us to get dirty.
Mother, should we?
Do as your father says.
This'll be fun!
I always wanted to get good and dirty!
That’s the stuff! The blacker, the better!
I’m ready.
Me too!
How’s this, Dad?
Wait a minute. Now, that’s enough. Not too many at a time. Uh-oh. Rolly, hold on, son. You’re only half done. [stops Rolly]
And now, stay right with me, kids.
We’re gonna fool the ol’ mad lady.
Then the labrador slowly brings the puppies out into the open, while Horace and Jasper check each nook and cranny with their weapons in the village.
Pongo, I’m so afraid.
Say now, Horace. That’s just what they did. Dogs is always paintin’ themselves black! [angrily hits Horace on the head] You idiot!
They reach the van, where the labrador loads each puppy with his teeth onto the tailgate.
Well, so far, so good. C’mon, Perdy. Better get on your make-up. I’ll go ahead with the next bunch. [leaves to get the next bunch of puppies, until Perdita sees Cruella coming in her car and ducks down to avoid being seen by her as Cruella passes the window the other way. Pongo and the puppies wait to move outside, until Cruella stops her car. Perdita then sees Horace and Jasper coming and runs off to hide. Before Jasper gets a closer look, both he and Horace hear Cruella blowing her horn]
Aw, now, be reasonable, miss.
We’re froze clean to our bones.
We’ve been out all night and all day and with nothin’ to eat.
They’re somewhere in this village, and we’re going to find them! Now get going! [speeds off]
No, but we’re running out of time.
Try ‘er again, mate.
As the truck driver starts his engine again, Perdita is now in her soot disguise as she leads the next batch of puppies.
Hurry, Perdy. The van’s about to leave.
Perdita brings the puppies over to the van and helps the labrador load them onto the tailgate, until they see Horace and Jasper checking a trash can and a rain pipe to search for the puppies.
Better hurry.
Perdita then runs back to the shop, as Pongo brings out the next batch of puppies. At the same time, Cruella's car turns round the fountain, as Cruella peers her head out the window to keep looking. The batch of puppies run behind the van, while the car mechanic makes final repairs to the engine as the driver looks on. Three of the puppies hide against the van's wall from Cruella, who clears the area. The labrador and his bunch of puppies come out from their hiding places, as Perdita brings the next bunch of puppies out to the van.
I’ll get the rest. [leaves the grab the last bunch]
Well, that ought to do 'er. [closes the truck hood] At least, she’ll get you back to London.
Better get aboard, miss.
The van has its engine working, as Perdita leaps onto the tailgate and helps with the loading. As Pongo returns to get the last bunch of puppies, he sees Horace and Jasper standing outside the blacksmith shop.
Hey, Jasper. [whacks Jasper softly on the butt to get his attention. Then, Jasper shakes his fire poker on the door, scaring the puppies into hiding.]
C’mon, Horace. [head go to the back of the blacksmith shop to investigate the interior, but Pongo catches up to the last of the puppies and leads them out just in time.]
Hurry, kids! C’mon, kids. Run on ahead.
She’s watching us, Dad.
Keep going. Keep going.
It can’t be! [glares in her side-view mirror] It’s impossible!
Run for it puppies!
JASPER! HORACE! JASPER! There they go! In the van! After them! AFTER THEM!
[As Pongo and the Labrador bring the last two puppies for the van, Pongo and Lucky trip on the snow, as Horace and Jasper close in on them. Fortunately, as the labrador gives a puppy to Perdita as her true fur as well, he turns around and attacks Horace and Jasper, giving Pongo and Lucky enough time to escape. Pongo jumps onto the tailgate and gives Lucky to Perdita. The van hits a bump, almost forcing Pongo to fall off the tailgate, but he keeps a firm grip on the wood surface and pulls himself on board.]
Pongo Look! There she is again: Cruella!
Hey, lady, what in thunder are you tryin’ to do?! Crazy woman driver!
[Cruella de Vil re-appears from the left and slams into the van again. She thrashes against the van wildly, almost flinging the puppies away, while the driver struggles to keep his van on the road. Just then, she sees a road barrier and tries to stop her car, but it crashes through the barrier and ends up in a ditch, while the van crosses the bridge. That does not stop Cruella de Vil, as she puts her car in reverse and goes full speed ahead on the other side of the hill. Her car reaches the top and hits a grove of trees, shedding off some of its parts. Cruella de Vil is now a psychopath on wheels, as her car resembles a hot rod now.]
Oh, Pongo, look it that!
JASPER!
There ain’t nothin’ to it. I’ll give him a bit of nudge, and shove him in the dirt! Ha-ha!
Perdy, watch out!
JASPER!
HORACE!
YOU IDIOTS! YOU....YOU FOOLS!!! [sobbing, completely hysterical she start] OH, YOU IMBECILES!!!!!
