I kinda feel bad for this, but "um actually"...

sigh

When Cruella goes to buy the puppies there were only about 6 puppies. This was the inciting incident that made her lose her shit and start kidnapping puppies from all over. Cruella is the one who gathers the 101 puppies together.

I thought the initial litter was 15? I vaguely recall the human dude going "EIGHT!?" when the counting began

Doesn't he start sweating and patting his brow, or faints or something? I can hear him yelling "fifteen?!" but you may have Mandala'd me

From memory, the count starts at 8, then it goes up and up to 15, when the last puppy apparently dies, but with some massaging comes back. I think it was Pongo that got weak on the legs with a dumb smile. Talking about the original cartoon movie anyway, I much preferred it over the live action

The live action was 102 dalmatians, wasn't it? Did they live action remake 101 dalmatians?

Edit: I found it. I must have repressed that memory since I immediately recognized the movie poster.

The cartoon is the only proper release.

If you remember she only kidnapps those 15, then she buys all the others.

Bless you both for the correct number of puppies in the litter!

Perdita and Pongo had 15 puppies with no spots, which Cruella proceeds to dognap, she actually buys the other 84, and IIRC she attempted to buy the original 15 puppies, but almost backed out since she didn't know rhat dalmatians are born without spots. Totally not defending that psychotic bitch here. Just trying to get the facts organized.
