The Problem:
* Cruella De Vil's obsession with fur: Cruella, a wealthy and eccentric woman, is obsessed with using dalmatian fur to create a luxurious coat. She kidnaps puppies to achieve this goal.
* The threat to the puppies: The 101 Dalmatian puppies are in danger of being killed and skinned by Cruella.
* The separation of families: The dalmatian families are scattered and struggling to find their missing puppies.
The Solution:
* The parents' determination: Pongo and Perdita, the parents of the kidnapped puppies, refuse to give up hope and embark on a rescue mission. They use their resourcefulness and cleverness to find their puppies.
* The power of teamwork: Pongo and Perdita unite with other dalmatian families, as well as the human characters, Roger and Anita, to locate the puppies.
* The human intervention: Roger and Anita, along with the help of Horace and Jasper (Cruella's henchmen), ultimately foil Cruella's plans by exposing her crimes and getting the puppies back.
* The escape from the "Dalmatian plantation": The puppies escape from Cruella's lair and make their way back to their parents.
Ultimately, the solution is a combination of the parents' unwavering determination, the power of teamwork, and the timely intervention of humans who oppose Cruella's cruelty.
