The sound has been redone in Dolby Digital 5.1 home theater track as well as remastered in the film's original 1.0 monaural. Again, the Dolby Digital 5.1 track sounds like it could have been done last year. While the soundtrack won't exactly boom out of your home theater speakers, the sound is more than acceptable.

101 Dalmatians: Two-Disc Platinum Edition is packed with special features. Disc one contains two sets of pop-up trivia notes, one called "101 Pop-up Trivia Facts for the Family" and the other "101 Pop-up Trivia Facts for the Fan." The track for the family provides information on the differences between the book and the movie, while the one for the fan delves a little deeper into behind-the-scenes material. Then there is an all-new music video, "Cruella De Vil," performed by Disney Channel star Selena Gomez. I could have done without that, but young people will probably enjoy it.

Disc two contains: "Games and Activities," "Music and More," and "Backstage Disney." Under "Games and Activities, we get two versions of "Disney's Virtual Dalmatians," one a DVD-ROM item and the other a set-top sampler. In either case you get to pick a puppy and train it to do various things. Next is "Puppy Profiler," wherein you answer questions about yourself to see what kind of pet would best suit you. And third, there is the "101 Dalmatians Fun With Language Game," designed to help very young kids learn new words and numbers.

"Music and More" includes about thirty-four minutes' worth of deleted songs, some of them abandoned by Disney, some of them alternate takes.

In "Backstage Disney," there is a thirty-four-minute documentary, "Redefining The Line: The Making of 101 Dalmatians." It presents the views of animators and filmmakers on the subject of the film. After that are a pair of featurettes, "Cruella De Vil: Drawn To Be Bad," seven minutes on the famous villainess; and "Sincerely Yours, Walt Disney," twelve minutes recreating the correspondence Disney conducted with author Dodie Smith before and during the film's production. Lastly, there are seven trailers, radio, and TV spots; seven separate art galleries for such things as "Visual Development, "Character Design," and "Production Photos."
