Potty training one puppy is hard enough. Try 101. This live-action film based on a Walt Disney classic follows the adventures of those adorably spotted dogs and their impossibly cute antics through London. Plus, who can resist Glenn Close as the evil villain, Cruella de Vil? Her hair alone is worth watching!

Kids will love this remake of the classic—especially with goofball Eddie Murphy as the lead. Dr. Doolittle's talk-to-the-animals skills will have you wishing you could communicate with your own pets. (As in, "Please don't chew my expensive leather boots!")

It's the movie that made spiders a little more likable—especially the kind that save your little piglet butt from the slaughter house! Everybody needs a Charlotte in their lives.
