Honestly, I probably saw other movies before this one at the cinema but this is the first one I remember watching. 102 Dalmatians, what a classic!

102 Dalmatians was released in 2000 (when I was 5 years old!) and is about good old Cruella DeVil and her constant obsession of creating a dog fur coat, what a lovely woman. This movie has more dogs, more laughs and is pretty horrifying when it comes to Cruella (she gave me nightmares for years!).

I remember little old me wandering into the cinema with a little stool for me to sit on, in one of the closer rows and watching the dog above Oddball fall down a slide and land in her owner’s arms after finally ‘growing’ spots. Random memory but it’s one that is imprinted in my mind.

These movies sparked my obsession with dogs, including a lot of dog books as well as going to the post office every week to pick up another dog plushie. I loved those dog plushies. My family even had their own dalmatian called Casper who was the sweetest dog in the world.

What was the first movie you saw at the cinema?

Until next time.
