Feldman and Walt Disney Pictures . It is the sequel to the 1996 film 101 Dalmatians, a live - action remake of the 1961 Disney animated film of the same name and stars Glenn Close reprising her role as Cruella de Vil as she attempts to steal puppies for her "grandest" fur coat yet . Close and Tim McInnerny were the only two actors from the first film to return for the sequel, however . The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Costume Design, but lost to Gladiator . </P> <P> After three years in prison, Cruella de Vil has been cured of her desire for fur coats by Dr. Pavlov and is released into the custody of the probation office on the provision that she will be forced to pay the remainder of her fortune (eight million pounds) to all the dog shelters in the borough of Westminster should she repeat her crime . Cruella therefore mends her working relationship with her valet Alonzo and has him lock away all her fur coats . Cruella's probation officer, Chloe Simon, nevertheless suspects her, partly because Chloe is the owner of the now - adult Dipstick (one of the original 15 puppies from the previous film). </P>
