Review: '101 Dalmations' animated film mocks fur industry and promotes animal hoarding

101 Dalmatians G     

            A movie about boarding a whole mess of puppies, with no consequences, as a man adopts some dogs that go on a caper, only to have more show up, a lot more. An evil witchy lady wants to make fur coats out of Dalmatian dogs, (an obvious stab at the fur industry and mink coats), and the heroic dogs are captured, so they have to be rescued. Actually a fun movie, if not heavy  handed and a little dark, (about needlessly killing animals). How this guy is going to raise 101 dogs isn't ever addressed, despite the cute song. He can't possibly afford to make a dalmatian plantation in his home.
