But Close, as the evil Crujlla De Vil, wants to kidnap the Richardson-Daniels pups to turn out Dalmatian-skin coats. Enter bumbling thieves Hugh Laurie and Mark Williams to aid her dastardly plan Biz 557 Now Showing 551 Video 549 Sport 301 Front Page 100 News 101 NextRjv Comp Backbjat Main MenuP545 CEEFAX 1 545 Wed 25 Dec 19:34/14 O 2/2 I have to say that the new, updated version of 101 DALMATIANS works a treat The design and effects are good and the direction moves along at a lively pace — it was wise not to follow the example of Babe and give the animals voices. No doubt the target audience will like the dogs best of all — but the humans are fun too and Close provides us with a memorable grotesque as Cruella. My only complaint is that unlike the animated Crujlla she doesn't look quite enough like Edwina Currii.
