101 Dalmatians: The Series

• Lucky (voiced by Pamela Adlon and Debi Mae West): The most plucky of the puppies and is unique in having his only spots in the shape of a horseshoe on his back. He is the leader of the main pups and is very adventurous and determined to do whatever he thinks is right. However, he is very obsessed with TV (especially Thunderbolt), and he's usually the one at fault when the main pups get into trouble.
• Cadpig (voiced by Kath Soucie): Cadpig is the runt of the litter and the smallest of the puppies but quite possibly the most intelligent, if not deluded. She is the peace-keeping member of the main pups, but also has a very quick temper. She is unique in having long floppy ears, a big head, a kind-hearted personality, and she's also quite strong for her size and can have a very strong temper as well. Roger had saved her young life when she was born.
• Rolly (voiced by Kath Soucie): Rolly is the very hungry one. Almost all his decisions are based on food and this, at times, gets him and the pups into trouble. However, he is a cheerful and diligent sibling, especially when it comes to his incredible sense of smell. He's also very timid and is an easy target for bullies due to him being such a foody.
• Spot (voiced by Tara Strong): Spot is a chicken who wants to become a Dalmatian. She is the most intelligent of the main four and is a voice of reason for the foursome but is more often than not ignored. She is easily scared and is prone to literally bouncing off the walls. She is, however, a great dancer which has to count for something, according to her and appears to be good at math. She is also able to fly (to some extent).
• Roger and Anita Dearly (voiced by Jeff Bennett and Kath Soucie, respectively): Owners of the 101 Dalmatians and Dearly Farm.
• Cruella De Vil (voiced by April Winchell): Now a corporate criminal and most of her plans revolve around getting richer, tormenting the Dalmatians, and plotting to steal the Dearly Farm. Her main catchphrase in the series is "Memo to myself, whatever her current scheme is or sometimes her emotional state", uttered into her personal recording device. This often occurs more than once an episode. She also captured Lucky, Rolly and Cadpig in the first episode so she can get the Dearly's farm.
• Horace and Jasper (voiced by David L. Lander and Michael McKean):[4] Cruella's henchmen. They are usually hired to perform her plans, usually failing due to their lack of intelligence.

• Nanny (voiced by Charlotte Rae): The Dearlys' caretaker who always helps Roger and Anita around the Dearly Farm, also helps with feeding the Dalmatians from the huge Chow Tower that she operates with a bike.
• Pongo (voiced by Kevin Schon): The father of the fifteen puppies, adopted father of the eighty-four orphaned pups, and the husband of Perdita. He is Roger's devoted pet.
• Perdita (voiced by Pam Dawber): The mother of the Dalmatians, and the wife of Pongo. She is mother to the fifteen puppies, and adoptive mother to eighty-four orphaned pups. She is Anita's beloved pet.
• Mooch: (voiced by Danny Cooksey):[4] An adolescent Sheepdog mix who is the bully of the farm. He can be intimidating at times, but deep down he is very sensitive and nice.
• Two-Tone (voiced by Tara Strong): One of the Dalmatian puppies and Mooch's former girlfriend and second-in-command. She is depicted as half black with white spots, and half white with black spots.
• Dipstick (voiced by Thom Adcox-Hernandez): A male Dalmatian puppy who is the most dim-witted of Mooch's gang.
• Whizzer (voiced by Pamela Adlon in "Purred It Through the Grapevine" and Christine Cavanaugh for the rest of the series): A male Dalmatian puppy with bladder control issues who is part of Mooch's gang.
• Tripod (voiced by Toran Caudell): A male Dalmatian puppy who serves as Lucky's friendly rival. He has spotted ears, a green headband and is missing his front left leg.
• Scorch (voiced by Frank Welker): Cruella's pet ferret who has an appetite for Spot.
• The Colonel (voiced by Jim Cummings): An Old English Sheepdog and commanding officer of the Bark Brigade.
• Sergeant Tibbs (voiced by Jeff Bennett): A Tabby cat and trusted ally to the Colonel.
• Captain (voiced by Frank Welker): A horse on the Dearly Farm who is usually seen helping Nanny.
• Lieutenant Pug (voiced by Jeff Bennett): One of the training officers of the Bark Brigade. He is paranoid about a potential feline invasion.
• Thunderbolt (voiced by Frank Welker): A German Shepherd and Lucky's favorite superhero.
• Cornelia (voiced by Tress MacNeille): Spot's overprotective mother who wants her to behave like a chicken.
• Lucy (voiced by Paddi Edwards): A female goose who gets grumpy when the Dalmatians play in her pond at Hiccup Hole.
• Swamp Rat (voiced by Jeff Bennett): A rat salesman who lives in the swamp.
• Steven the alligator (voiced by Frank Welker): Swamp Rat's associate who is also fixated on eating Spot.
• Cydne (voiced by Frank Welker): A snake who lives in the swamp and Swamp Rat's other associate.
• Mayor Ed Pig (voiced by Jim Cummings): A pig who is also the mayor of the animals on the Dearly Farm.
• Dumpling: (voiced by Christine Cavanaugh) Mayor Ed's daughter who is in love with Lucky.
• Princess (voiced by April Winchell in "The High Price of Fame" and "Shake, Rattle and Woof" and Cree Summer for the rest of the series): A cow who lives on the Dearly Farm.
• Duchess (voiced by Marla Gibbs): A cow and a companion of Princess.

The show debuted in syndication on September 1, 1997, running episodes five days a week; this was the second season. Two weeks later, the first season aired on ABC's One Saturday Morning lineup. That season was originally going to air on ABC on September 6, 1997 but was delayed a week due to the untimely death of Princess Diana.

In total, 65 half-hour episodes with 105 episode segments were produced. The first season contained 12 episodes: 3 full-length episodes, and 9 that contained 2 segments each. Meanwhile, the second season contained 53 episodes: 22 full-length episodes, and 31 that contained 2 segments each.[5] On March 4, 1998, the show aired its last episode with reruns continuing to play in syndication through August 28, 1998.

Reruns continued to play on ABC until 1999. Reruns of the show also aired on Disney Channel from 1998 to 1999[6] and Toon Disney from September 1998 to January 30, 2006 (with occasional airings in the spring of 2007).[7][8][9][10] As of today, the series has been off the air in most countries. It was syndicated on the United Kingdom channel Disney Cinemagic for quite a few years and was also aired on the Latin American version of Disney Channel during 2008, and then on January 2, 2010, Season 2 moved to RTÉ Two in the Republic of Ireland. The show has aired four times on Fridays at 4 a.m. on the Disney Junior block on the Disney Channel in early 2011.

On March 23, 2012, the show returned to television as a launch title for the Disney Junior channel, but only about half of the episodes aired, and most of the ones that did air were edited down (this was most likely due to scenes that were dubbed inappropriate for preschoolers). On September 3, 2013, the series was removed from Disney Junior's lineup.

While the series as a whole never made a true home media release either on VHS or DVD, the episode, "A Christmas Cruella", was released on VHS in 1998, which also contained the episode "Coup De Vil" as a bonus episode. This was also released on DVD in the UK.

The 3-part series finale, "Dalmatian Vacation", was also released on VHS and Laserdisc in Japan, which included two songs that were exclusive to this release and not on the TV broadcasts of the trilogy of episodes.

Currently, all of the episodes are available on the iTunes Store[11] and Amazon Prime Video[12] since June 2017 in HD and SD formats, with the exception of "Alive N' Chicken"/"Prima Doggy", which is still banned at this time.

On May 8, 2020, the entire series became available on Disney+ in Australia,[13] and on the US version of Disney+ on June 19, 2020, with all 65 episodes arranged in mixed order, listed as one season.[14] In addition, "Alive N' Chicken"/"Prima Doggy" is among the episodes available to stream, a rare instance from Disney+ for a television series that is available to purchase digitally elsewhere, but for a particular episode not being available to buy, being available to stream on the platform.[15] It is currently unknown if the series will become available on the service in other regions.
