alt Disney Records offers the pick of the litter with its new 101 Dalmatians audio series supporting Walt Disney Pictures' live-action film starring Glenn Close. Families can howl along with the whole collection of treats, including the soundtrack,
Read-Along,
Sing-Along, and
My First Read-Along.
The "101 Dalmatians" soundtrack features a rollicking score by award-winning composer Michael Kamen that parallels the action-packed pace of the film. The album also features a new rendition of "Cruella De Vil" by Grammy Award®-winning musician Dr. John.
Children can relive the music from the film with the 101 Dalmatians Sing-Along, featuring contemporized versions of songs from the original animated film, as well as other canine-connected tunes. The Sing-Along comes with a deluxe songbook, complete with colorful illustrations and easy-to-read lyrics to help kids build reading and vocabulary skills.
The 101 Dalmatians Read-Along allows parents and children to revisit the movie adventure with its 24-page storybook and narrative audio cassette. With word-for-word narration, vivid sound effects, memorable music, and photos from the live-action film, the 101 Dalmatians Read-Along also enables children to improve their reading and vocabulary skills and encourages independent reading.
The 101 Dalmatians My First Read-Along entitled "Meet the Puppies" introduces early readers to the likes of Lucky, Two-Tone, Fidget, and Jewel with a sturdy board book and a narrative cassette. The book features a simple story, bright illustrations, and easy-to-see words, combined with the cassette's lively narration and fun sound effects.
The live-action version of the animated film features Close in the role of the treacherous Cruella De Vil. Cruella owns and runs the fashionable Manor De Vil, where she caters to her two passions in life: clothes and fur. After discovering a litter of dalmatian puppies at the house of her most talented designer, Anita (Joely Richardson), she envisions a new line of spotted apparel. When told the dogs are not for sale, Cruella embarks on a wild puppy-chase that has the entire canine kingdom racing to rescue the litter.
