These 101 Dalmatians Quotes Will Have You Seeing Spots (In A Good Way)

If there’s one thing we can always count on to cheer us up, it’s puppies. And the 1961 Disney classic One Hundred and One Dalmatians has, you know, 101 puppies. What more could one human really ask for? Granted, we can’t play this movie — or the 1996 live-action version, 101 Dalmatians, on a loop. We have pesky little things like jobs and responsibilities that prevent us from doing so. Being an adult can really be a drag sometimes, no? But in those moments when we can’t binge-watch the supreme cuteness, even just reading 101 Dalmatians quotes (from both films) sort of makes us enjoy life a little more.

These movies have more to offer than precious pups, though. They also include two of the best Disney couples: Roger and Anita, and Pongo and Perdita. Not to mention, the films demonstrate the enduring love of family. Is sibling rivalry in your household driving you bonkers? Show your kids this film, which really highlights the bond between brothers and sisters — including siblings through adoption.

And once you’re finished revisiting these 101 Dalmatians quotes, don’t worry; the warm and fuzzies don’t stop there. Check out our pages full of heartwarming quotes from other beloved Disney hits like Up, Moana, The Princess and the Frog, Aladdin, and The Little Mermaid.
