One Hundred and One Dalmatians
A warm, adventure-filled Disney classic about two dalmatian parents racing to rescue their stolen puppies from a fur-obsessed villain. The story is full of heart and animal teamwork, with some tense moments and a memorably scary antagonist that may give the littlest viewers pause.
A great family watch for ages 4 and up, with a gentle heads-up for sensitive children around 3 to 4 who may find Cruella unsettling.

A newborn puppy appears lifeless immediately after birth but is quickly and lovingly revived by Roger; a gentle moment to watch together about care and hope.
The puppies are stolen from the house; the parent dogs' distress and the sense of helplessness may be upsetting for young children.
The climactic escape through a blizzard, pursued by Cruella and the henchmen in cars, is the film's most sustained tense sequence, ending in a car crash that harms only the villains.
