101 Dalmatians 2: Patch's London Adventure

Being a fan of all Disney things, it is hard not to like a Disney film. 101 Dalmatians II, Patch’s London Adventure, holds true to the Disney traditional formula of the main character having a problem and solving it through an adventure. 
 

In this Disney original classic, puppy Patch feels overwhelmed being one out of 101. He meets his hero, Thunderbolt, the “One-of-a-kind Wonderdog” and learns about true friendship and teamwork. It is when Thunderbolt’s sidekick, Lightning, tells him that the show’s producers are looking for another star that can do real life acts of heroism that the adventure begins! Thunderbolt along with Patch head out into the real world to perform true acts of heroism.   An additional wrench is thrown into the mix with the return of Cruella De Vil. In the end, Thunderbolt and Patch’s friendship and teamwork save the puppies and the day.
 

101 Dalmatians II, Patch’s London Adventure, features the voices of such classic Disney talent as Barry Bostwick, Martin Short, Jason Alexander.
