It was released on January 21, 2003 and garnered DVDX awards for best animated feature, best director, best editing, and best musical score. Disney re-released the film on September 16, 2008.

The film tells the story of Patch, the loneliest dalmatian, who felt "lost in a sea of spots" until he met his TV hero Thunderbolt. Unlike many of the Disney direct-to-video sequels that essentially retell the original film's story, 101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure takes characters from the original film in some new directions.

In the film, Patch was left behind after the Dearlys moved to Dalmatian Plantation located at Cherry Tree Farm, Little Devon. Patch becomes a part of Thunderbolt's TV show and wants to know, is he one of a kind, or just one of 101? Now is his opportunity as Thunderbolt thinks he will be replaced when it is just a plot by Lil 'lightning Thunderbolt to make him quit once and for all and make Lightning the star. Patch becomes Heartbroken when he finds out that his favorite wonderdog just a TV actor.
