A colorful, high-energy family adventure built on playful chaos, animal charm, and the triumph of good-hearted underdogs over a deliciously villainous fashion villain.

An evil, high-fashion designer plots to steal Dalmatian puppies in order to make an extravagant fur coat, but instead creates an extravagant mess.
