Honestly, and hear me out in this, I think Disney wants to remake 101 Dalmatians as a sequel to Cruella.
If love putting some else needs ahead of yours . Then after. Betraying Meleficant. Was taking tole on the king's mental health . His daughter. Bring him some salvation. But he had to spend time away from her miss her growing up to protect her
hi, idk if you do video requests, but this is something I'm very passionate about so I want to mention it. I'm a huge fan of Big Hero 6, and I'd love to see you talk about Big Hero 6 the series, because in my opinion it's a severely underrated show, and I'm curious to know the opinions of other Disney fans about it. Also what your opinion is on season 3 because I and a lot of others were pretty disappointed by it. Love your channel ❤
Ok
Fun fact: Emma Stone wanted to have the smoking thing (from the animated film) to complete the look, but Disney said no. Lol
Smoking is bad they didn’t wanna promote it probably
what about an incense stick?
I remember Glenn Close Cruella smoking and I wasn't rushing out to imitate that. Lol.
@@SharpDesign different times
@@SharpDesign kids are more impressionable nowadays
Honestly, trauma can sometimes take years to manifest. It is entirely possible that her hatred of Dalmatians and obsession with spots may have manifested later, after the events settled in her mind.
Yea I think she have been have hatred since she was young I think the hatred already manifested already she didn’t use it yet
It could also be, she already have the Idea of skinning spotted dogs, because of that spotted coat she wore to make the baroness think she was wearing her dogs. After she killed those 3 dogs, she probably still hates them, her thirst of turning dogs into clothes for fashion only grew later on.
but why wouls she give anita and roger dogs just to take their puppies? Why didn't she just keep them??
@@farinatasmia9134 she doesn’t like dogs and the money to take care of them because she want to make wool and kill them
@@cecaniacc9165 true
This is clearly not the puppy-skinning Cruella. This is from the multiverse.
Cruella into the Disney Verse
Yea and I like that and I think Emma stone wanted it to be revenge hero but not villain so people would still like Emma stone that how I see it
@@shelbecovington1367 yeah they basically knew the names would sell.... Emma stone and cruella. But this is clearly a completely different/new character and concept haha.
It's an alternative universe. It doesn't even take place in the same decade as either _101 Dalmatians_ films. Anita and Roger are already adults.
@@0deadx21 it's being marketed as a prequel to the Glenn Close franchise. She is even one of the producers. Although Anita and Roger, speaking of them, yeah they're not white anymore. As they are in the cartoon and original live action movies. I guess cuz of racism? I guess in the sequel the 101 dalmatians will be played by chihuahuas. Inclusion!
Headcanon that may be absurd: the original “101 Dalmatians” was written by the Baroness under the pseudonym Dodie Smith and acted as a smear campaign against Cruella.
Interesting.
Unique theory
Joker: "We live in a society." Cruella: "We live in a Disney movie."
lol 😂
That is a quality comment
Enjoyed Cruella so much more than I expected. I was just constantly terrified something bad would happen to her dog - I even paused it and finished later because I was just like, nope, can’t handle anything happening to that dog. Also, I don’t mind how the Disney Villain movies make you empathize with the villain. Almost nobody *actually* views themself as the bad guy. From their own perspectives, people usually rationalize their own behavior. Many of the most notoriously evil people in history legitimately convinced themselves they were in the right - even if they’re outright lying to themselves.
Except most evil people takes pleasure in their vile deeds and some are aware that they're doing things wrong but don't care about it and takes pride in it.
True, but for Cruella it doesn't work. What made her such a good villian was how pure evil and sadistic she was, and while you can give a villian a sympathetic backstory and still have them turn out horribly evil, they didn't seem to do that here. They completely changed Cruella into a completely sympathetic character. The problem, imo, isn't that they gave her a sympathetic backstory, but that they didn't do it in a WAY that works for Cruella. And the fact that it doesn't seem to tie completely into 101D is unsatisfying and confusing. If they were going for an AU angle, they did a poor job, because it doesn't feel like that. It feels like they wanted to make a canon backstory for the original Cruella, but that they accidentally wrote too many things into the story that didn't completely line up. And I mean this just as far as character development moreso than actual events, which SHOULD be the most important part of a story, the part that drives it. A character driven story is better written than one driven by a plot driven one. What I mean is the characters should drive the plot, the plot shouldn't drive the characters. My point is that since the original 101D was such a well-written story, character development drove the story (not as much as it could have but well enough) and it's super important to the story, so if what seems like it's supposed to be a prequel doesn't have character development that lines up, it's pretty jarring.
@@davidbrennan3967 yes, and that's exactly what made Cruella such a good villian. Often you want your villian to be truly evil and extremely hateable, because it gives the story more of an edge; it makes the stakes feel higher and hating the villian more gets you more invested in the story and more on the heros' side, which is usually (especially in movies) a good thing. It can add to the story and make it MORE compelling to give the villian more depth, but if their evil nature is stripped away or diluted in the process, the story becomes less compelling and the villian feels less iconic. At the same time, a story with a flat, cliche villian who does things just because can be boring, which is why writing characters is so complex, and it's super important to have a balance when writing them, which is a different type of balance depending on the role they play in the story. Villians should be interesting but still evil. A balance should have been struck between making Cruella sympathetic and evil, which is totally possible (you can even look to real life for examples of this; most of the most evil serial killers had tragic childhoods, but still turned out to be completely evil people), but the new Cruella obviously failed to strike that balance and in making Cruella sympathetic, they nearly took away the fact she's a villian at all.
I learn that nobody was born evil they actually learn it from people honestly
@@lloyddragon2036 i liked and at the same time didn't like what they did for Cruella's backstory. the movie i actually enjoyed a lot. but i think what ruined it the most was that yeah it didn't stay fully true to the 101D movie. I didn't mind them giving Cruella a sympathetic backstory, because in most cases no one is really born evil, it really comes down to what environment they grew up in, and for Cruella to turn out evil makes sense because she went through a lot as a kid. I think what could have fixed this movie the most is if Cruella actually killed the 3 dalmatians and made a coat out of them, it's a very small yet powerful change for the character. But i guess the fact that she thought of it shows that her ''Cruella'' side is crazy enough to maybe go through with it, if not now then sometime in the future aka in 101D movie.
I very strongly believe that this is a many worlds/alternate universe type thing. This Cruella would never tell Jasper and Horace to kill puppies.
Oh I don’t know. Maybe, maybe not.
That's the thing, if it is, it was done poorly, and it's pretty jarring and unsatisfying when a lot of fans were really hoping for a compelling backstory for one of Disney's most evil villians.
@@lloyddragon2036 Was it? I'm not critical of movies, and i enjoyed it because I had fun watching it. I followed someone's advice and didn't watch it as a 101 Dalmatians movie. Completely separate from that universe, it was enjoyable.
Also this Jasper and Horace will leave if she order them to do it
@@thegildedspider YESSSS!!!
I honestly just see this as an alternate universe and that the Cruella we see in 101 Dalmatian was actually raised by the baron and baroness
she did have a huge house in the animation
That is a possibility. Disney really needs to give us CANON backstories for disney villains like they did with scar in the Lion guard
@@blueotter5954 Its actually the same house at the end of Cruella we see her taking the "MAN" off Hellman Hall dubbing it Hell Hall which was the house Cruella lived in during 101 dalmatians
@@Weirdo365yea ack, this before and after mix is really shaking my head. Thanks for the clear up.
I remember that when the trailer came out that people were concerned that they were trying to make her a feminist icon, which would result in them somehow justifying her killing puppies and make a story revolve around that. I like that they took this route instead, and that the idea of her just killing puppies was just a rumor that developed her reputation, as she does have a reputation like that in the original film.
NO this isnt crullea de vill DEVIL this is crumma dabil not cruella they mas maketed as a origin not different character
I liked their idea of making the people spread rumors about her killing dogs for fur. It gives her reputation some dirt that she might live up to one day. Cruella even said she’s just *STARTING* , this might insinuate that she will become the spot-obsessed fashionista she is.
While the film Cruella could have been a different film altogether. I believe that this is the closest we are ever going to get towards Cruella’s true backstory.
Read the original book we at least they're just a little bit of her backstory and her heritage.
You should check out the literature published in a villain series on Disney villains. Cruella is included and it has a backstory for her there too.
probably
'True and all but I think it would be better if they changed her story a little more because its really amazing
“I’m Just Getting STARTED, Darling.” - Estella, “Cruella” De Vil, 2021
Thank you. :D
I never thought I'd love a Cruella origin story. Emma Stone's performance was on fire.
I figured it’s as she said: “People do need a villain to believe in, so she’s happy to fit the bill.” She probably goes on to be unclear, conspiracy, urban legend, further pushed by Rodger’s song. 🤷♀️
This movie sets up the beginning of Cruella's madness. If there are sequels that would explore how she actually becomes a dog killer. For the movie itself it was alright. I'll definitely need to see it a few times before I can give a final verdict.
She actually doesn’t kill the dog’s she doggynapps them
@@Millie.00 I know that's what I meant to say
I don't think a sequel might even make her bad especially now that the newer generation is rooting for this cruella they won't want to loose that knowing Disney. The moment we saw her bonding and caring for a dog that's when I knew this was set in another universe.
@@jeshuarestituyo284 Well, it has to, to show how Cruella became obsessed with fur, hate dogs, psychotic, insane, sadistic and desires to make a fur coat out of Dalmatian puppies.
@@davidbrennan3967 I agree. I actually want to Cruella to still be a villain if there is a sequel. Not that I agree of puppy killing, but it's what made Cruella the villain that she is.
Cruella's backstory was definitely interesting!!!
true, true
I know I honestly feels bad for her
@@miyadeen2978 yeah after all, the story of villain isn't as simple as black and white. Plus they should make more of these disney villains movies
@@Thewolfartist24 I know I really want to know more of there backstory how become evil how they actually overcome there obstacles too
@@miyadeen2978 which disney villain movie do you want to see made. I what a Mother Gothel movie.
I think that Cruella became obsessed with animal fur coats over the course of years, and the fact that she gave puppy Pongo to Roger and puppy Perdita to Anita, is because at that she wasn't fur obsessed at the time she gave the puppies.
I agree
The Cruella in this film, I see at least, is but a larvae in a cocoon. We have the groundwork. As she no doubt becomes the head of the newly named House of De Vil, she would have to adopt the same ruthless tactics as the Baroness to stay on top. Never mind money and power and fame are addicting and can irrevocably change a person. Thus the grand irony is that Cruella becomes the same woman the Baroness was. It's the natural course logic would take us. The stress of running a company and staying on top would leave to her becoming a chain smoking alcoholic while become more ruthless and impulsive. And her impulsiveness leads to her own downfall as she accidentally orchestrates her own undoing by having given Anita and Roger their signature dalmatians. That's how I see it at least.
This is definitely some multiverse thing. I just don't see this Cruella, Jasper and Horace being the puppy-skinning monsters they were in the animated and first live action films. I don't mind stories where we empathize with the villains. Heck, I even love Captain Hook more than Peter Pan since I always root for him instead but I never disregard the fact that he's a villain. Cruella's whole schtick is that she's so obsessed with fur and coats that she would do ANYTHING to make the perfect one, even if it means skinning adorable puppies. She's one of those Disney villains which I could easily say is pure evil and beyond redemption.
I think the sequel will have the Baroness run a large smear campaign, in order to shame and destroy Cruella. This will drive Cruella completely crazy. In the end, she'll become the villain we all know.
At the end of the movie Estella actually allowed the Baroness to hug her, after all of the planning & surprise appearances to make her look bad, Estella wanted her mother’s love
@@fivehundrediq5212 O come on I wanna Corella AK still an actual be cruel and evil have misunderstood
In 101 dalmatians, Cruella didn't have a thought about making dalmatians fur coats until she saw Anita's design. So it made sense to me that she didn't have a thought about it way way back.
I’ve Saw Cruella (2021) Today. And It Was Unbungalievable!!! 😃
Bingcredible!
@Lahanna Singh If You Ask Me. Cruella De Vil Is Without A Doubt. One Of The Craziest And Worst Disney Villains That Everyone Just Loves To Hate! 😒
@Lahanna Singh Estella was the sympathetic and redeemable one and Estella dying so cruella can be born was symbolism that cruella is irredeemable Which people don’t get
This movie feels like a reboot of Cruella's character.
Exactly just like the The maleficent movies they use the same characters but its telling a different story then the original and I definitely think this is true because first its not connected to the live action or animated movie in any real way (changing what Anita and Rogers Careers) and the mid credit scene definitely throws some problems if they have Pongo and Perdita become mates. Also shes already had her dalmatian coat now even though its fake but it has people think she did possible kill dalmatians making her into the 101 Dalmatian villain
Truly
I haven't seen the movie yet but from your whole explanation, I feel like that movie is more of an alternate universe where Cruella didn't turn out the person she is in the 101 dalmatians. I think that Cruella in the 101 dalmatians was raised by her birth mother and that would've been the reason she's like that in the 101 dalmatian movies
The only thing i didn’t like was the stinger... it made absolutely no sense for Cruella to give Roger a puppy. Made sense to give Anita a puppy. But it was also implied that both Perdita and ali go came from the same litter.....
I love backstory they help us get to know the people better
But she already had a damn good backstory. And it was from the original Source material 101 Dalmatians the original book before the Disney movie. Part of it was that she was a descendant from a serial killer who may or may not have made a deal with the Devil.
@@zachbahamutson5477 it’s called alternate interpretations We never got a backstory for the movie version tho
Agreed
@@zachbahamutson5477 but we don't know if it is canon to the disney movie
I know I literally feel bad for her
Really enjoying the different backstories for our favorite Disney characters and villains Isaac.
Well, that, Isaac, or they're waiting for a specific time (aka a sequel) to demote Cruella into the villainous woman we all know and love
Do The Full Story of Jasper and Horace next please.
I am glad they didn’t went towards the 101 Dalmatians story this a new Cruella that has nothing to do with the other versions. The Maleficent compression is bunkers because they ruin the Sleeping Beauty story, by making her the hero.
I think we are only getting started with Cruella and that I think Disney was leaving it open ended for a sequel. My theory is that Cruella gave Roger and Anita puppies as blackmail in the future. Both are extremely useful to Cruella since Anita is a journalist and Roger is a lawyer. Giving them puppies will allow her to say or do anything she wants to them, just like when she burst into their house uninvited in 101 Dalmatians. and maybe at this point in the story Cruella wouldn't want to skin puppies but in 101 Dalmatians Pongo and Perdita are fully grown, giving Cruella time to settle in the rich life and eventually lust for that Dalmatian coat. With even this movie we see that she has short temper if she doesn't get what she wants, and if she gets the idea of a Dalmatian coat she will stop at nothing to get it. That is what I would like to see in a possible sequel.
I never actually watched any movies she was in. I just assumed her backstory by her name.
That actually makes a lot of sense. It follows the first spinoff show of the vampire diaries, The Originals. Stating that villains are not born, but made. She just couldn't do what society wants her to do, by knowing that her own mother is down right evil, and she is still scarred in the aftermath.
Maybe another horrible action with the dogs happened off screen and that’s why she suddenly wanted to skin puppies. Or her taking in 100 Dalmatians was a huge set up for a all new fashion statement but in the end became a huge misunderstanding
Possibly
I hope not. 101 Dalmatians is the true story.
I like to think about it as the start to everything. She has unresolved issues and she thought that getting revenge on the baroness would solve her problems And becoming a fashion designer would make her happy since it was her Dream. But that didnt happen, She started to take her anger on everyone else, slowly driving her friends away, being mean to the dogs as her obsession and PTSD progressed and Anita taking them from her in fear of something happening to them. Cruella is getting crazier over time And becoming the Cruella se know, being really obsessed with killing the dogs for real in a desperate attempt to free her mind from the trauma once again
This might be a farfetched theory of mine, But, what if...Cruella, Knew she was gonna ended up been just like her mother? I mean, she did not kill those dogs when she could have, maybe something happened while she was living in her New home, or Perhaps a extra event happened that made Cruella become her mother, kind of like in the horror game Mad Father (of course a Disney pg. version of course) at least I think, or maybe Cruella for just showing her mother, she's beneath Cruella, that she desired a clothing to indirectly taunt her mother evidence to the Insanity she would suffer at the end of the original 101 Dalmatians movie as well the 2000 Live action movie, I know, it might just me just Me making up in order to justify Cruella's Disney origin version of Batman and Joker, but, I try to come up with why did Cruella went insane and decided to try to murder 101 Dalmatians just for a jacket with they're skins
Your theory holds some weight because during the last scene where Estella & The Baroness met at the Cliff, #1 Estella Nervously asked her if you’re gonna push me over the Cliff, & #2 Estella allowed the Baroness to give her a hug meaning after all of the planning she did to take the Baroness down, Estella wanted the love of her mother & was willing to give her a second chance.
It's an AU of the story. So it would be a bit different.
"I don't think that's necessarily a bad story to tell." You could be right. If only Disney could do it competently, and maybe start with a character that isn't already irredeemably evil, like the dark queen of the Unseelie, or a literal puppy murderer. Honestly I have no idea why no one at Disney could recognize what disastrous ideas these two movies were. It would require ALOT more creative freedom to make either concept work than Disney would ever be willing to give someone allowed to handle one of their precious IPs.
If Cruella made nearly 40 million during pandemic/lockdown, it would’ve made 200 million under normal circumstances, does that sound like a movie that sucks to you?
@@fivehundrediq5212 Fancimation Lion King made 2 billion. Still sucked.
I want to disagree with some of your views. I find it a love note to the other versions of Curella. Also Disney has a bad track record of having star animals in a movie, and making real world problems because people want a pet based from their love of a movie animal. A concern i had previously before the movie was that Curella would be a glorified Villian who people would want to emulate, but instead i was given a well made story that was entertaining and i think it is a wonderful movie. If the movie had gone as predicted, i can understand it would be easier to make comparisons, but all the characters have intresting sides to them, and felt like people. I can agree the open is kinda week, for her childhood on the cinematography. But it isn't a "She was wronged" story. Since she was a child, she had aspirations of her own. I don't find her pandering for "repeatability" eather. We see she had lemons and chose to make lemonade and a gown from the skins. She rebukes her birth name and chose Curella in forging her own path, and i think ot was fun how they brought in elements from the other adaptations and the book.
Thank you for posting the video.
I don’t know dude maybe the Carella Deville we all know and love will exist in a possible sequel that would be cool
A sequel is already planned. Could possibly explain the 101 Dalmatians story better going forward from where this film left off. There is a 25 year gap between this film and the story we all know, so that would leave plenty of time to manifest darker traits of her character.
I'm honestly still wondering how and when she became obsessed and addicted to furs as her main line of fashion as portrayed in the 101 Dalmatian films.
Good to have you back
Can you do a video about a Beauty and the Beast theory if Gaston's reputation was severely damaged to majority of the villagers after the events of Beauty and the Beast? Because in the opening scene of Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas, everyone of the village came to the castle to celebrate Christmas with Belle and Prince Adam, but I think that only LeFou and Gaston's "buddies" do not attend the Christmas party in film due they are the only ones in the village who remained faithful to Gaston and his "legacy".
I respect your opinion and thank you for voicing it. Thanks as always Issac
I feel she never knew about Dalmatians until Anita showed her the picture at work or didn’t care to know otherwise she would have made coats before that
I waited for this video for so long 🥺😁💚
i think and hope this is already set up for more movies thats why it feels like there is still a gap to the cruella we know.
4:38 That dress didn't pay attention in Physics class.
This is a cool one! And I knew u where up with this!!! Have a magical day✨
There is a book that partially focuses on Perdita from Chapter 3 onwards the book is called. (Disney before the story book. Anita's puppy tale.) so maybe a video on Perdita’s Full Story?
Amazing video ❤️❤️ I had a lot of fun watching this movie
I love this movie although after seeing it I'm not sure exactly what it has to do with any of the 101 Dalmatian movies but it's okay still love them too
To me this isn't THE Cruella De Vill, this is A Cruella De Vill. It's a What If scenario.
9:38, like Meleficent, Cruella is a spinoff origin story. I find it quit a perfect movie and I don't think the Cruella in this movie is disconnected to the Cruella in 101 Dalmatians. And also Disney is making a Cruella 2.
But the difference is that they didn’t make Roger the villain, like Maleficent did to the king, where he care non for Aurora. The comparison is bunkers to me, because they make Maleficent the hero of Sleeping Beauty
@@jesussalazar1901 To me I feel like Roger being the villain wouldn't fit very well and plus it would be the same concept and would be a little bit repetitive.
@@Thewolfartist24 oh no what I am saying is Cruella didn’t do something where it throws away the original Story like Maleficent did with the King, the fairies, Philip the Prince. The Roger was just an example of what I was afraid they would do.
@@jesussalazar1901 oh ok. Well it is true they didn't give a new perspective of the original story like Maleficent.
I really hope they do a Mother Gothel movie or an Evil Queen movie.
2:22 Joker: I am 4 parallel universes ahead of you :)
6:06 not only that, but they made a woman who tried to kill puppies look like a good guy. A GOOD GUY! That gives me ANGRY JOHN WICK NOISES!
Just watching this make me think this is like the joker movie theory like it's all in her mind.or there's muti timeline's.
In the case of The Joker, you follow the story of the man who inspired the one batman fights. Dont forget that it takes place decades before Bruce Wayne loses his parants. As for this.....maybe the animate movie was just a tale spun by Cruella herself to make her "Puppy Killer" reputation and it was suppose to be a false story the whole time. Damn, doing the writers' jobs for them again. Anita! Strike that from the record!
Or more like Joker (2019) it’s it own thing That film didn’t connect to the Batman of Kenton, Bale, and defiantly not Affleck, or any animated Batman movie. Cruella is it’s own thing with homages to 101 Dalmatians. In fact I don’t care if they never touch that’s story because is has been done to death.
This was an Absolutely Amazing Video Thanks for This showing The Origin Story of My All Time Favorite Version of Cruella De Vil brought to life By The Wonderful and Beautiful Emma Stone.
I feel like there's more and someday they will try to broach the chasm between the cartoon cruella and this one
I think its reimagining of Cruella rather then retelling.
I agree with you Isaac, this Cruella is not the puppy murderer we grew to hate.
I'll say this is another universes version of the character. Like the Bizarro version of Cruella where she isn't evil and nuts like the one we all know. Which if go that route makes this passable.
So, this Cruella doesn't have an intense hatred of Dalmatians, which was her defining trait in the original film.
I honestly agree; I felt like “the Barron” was more like cruela from 101 Dalmatians than cruela from the move
I loved the movie although I do feel there should be another explaining how she realy gets from this version to the version we all grew up with.
Maybe we’ll see a sequel to this prequel
I feel like this new story of Cruella is for an alternate universe or something. The only way I can see these two movies really connecting is if something bad happens to Cruella in between the end of this movie and the time we first see her in 101 Dalmatians.
Hey Isaac can you make a video a review of Pungo, Perdita and their Dalmatian puppies? A dalmatian family re-view!
So first off, I do not love this new Cruella, and I definitely hoped for something, someone I could truly hate. I wanted a villain that was mad, evil, dark, and dangerous. I had really high hopes for this movie especially after the trailers kept that personality going. I had to watch this a least five times before I came to accept the fact that in this movie Cruella was not the same as we all have seen her before. However I do like this movie, and I will tell you why, but first I had to drop all other connections with her other movies, not to mention the trailers they gave her. If you can do that, I believe this was a good movie. It had parts that made me laugh, one being the interaction between Jasper and Cruella. It was fun to see him react to her madness. I have come to appreciate the way he stays with her, as I know how hard that can be with first hand experience. The way he cares for her and his own intelligence was something I love watching. Another thing I liked was the new character Artie, his brilliance mixed with Cruella’s own was very cool to see. I like the way she treated him, and the way he reacted to her. He seems to be able to push her where Jasper and Horace can not. I find their interactions funny to watch, and the way he smiles it is like he was made from mischief. One last thing I can not push down is the gowns Cruella did wear when trying to upstage the Baroness. They were beautiful, and really showed off strokes of brilliance. Was the movie what I was expecting? No. It most certainly was not. Do I like the way it played out in the timeline? No. I really do not (they crashed, and burned there). Do I hate it? No. I don’t. It was a good movie. It didn’t fit in well with the others, and I think they could have done so much better. They could have given us a villain to hate. However, if I gave it an honest opinion, (one where I am not putting it up to her other movies). I think it was good, and not lying; I did enjoy the movie.
@IsaacCarlson cruella is the lady Gaga of the fashion industry devil wears Prada meets joker meets oceans 11 mfw I realize this released on cameron boyce’s birthday and he is cruella’s son I thought cruella would push her off the cliff lol how she managed to fool everyone under their noses even villains can live double lives It was amazing the mom twist was unexpected but at the same time it made sense I realized something in the original movie the dogs growl when cruella first walks into roger and anita’s house is it because they remembered her or maybe it’s just a different canon idk Although it is a bit odd that cruella gifted Roger and Anita pongo and perdita only to come back and try to kill them later I guess it’s sort of like raising a cow with love before you slaughter it or something or she forgot about them tbh I thought Catherine was gonna get in a car crash or abandon estella but that was not what I expected tbh I thought Catherine was gonna get in a car crash or abandon estella but that was not what I expected cruella was the lesser of two evils in this situation Wink and buddy are lowkey the secret stars of this movie I knew she would get herself pushed on purpose I knew she would survive but I didn’t know how she would survive Estella was the sympathetic and redeemable one and Estella dying so cruella can be born was symbolism that cruella is irredeemable The people who whine about cruella being turned into a sympathetic villain don’t seem to get that Estella was sympathetic Cruella is not lol I liked estella better The darkness was always there Her mom was her light And her light got snuffed she tried to keep the light on but eventually the electricity went out and the darkness took over her mom saw the dogs why didn’t she run She saw them and she stood there Not a criticism just a curiosity I didn’t even realize it was roger and Anita until later lol Estella is adorable I like her more than cruella am I the only one who likes estella more as a person And here I thought Disney couldn’t get more creative with how they kill off parents lmao you know how you raise a cow with love and then it grows up and I slaughter it for food Maybe this is the same situation They would like to imagine she grows up to be the Glenn close version the director said This will be an unpopular opinion but I think live action interpretations have their place Their original intention is to introduce a classic franchise to a modern generation who missed the originals or just don’t feel like watching them I feel like a lot of the haters and critics who have the option of ignoring them instead of whining about them don’t seem to get them I’m not talking about you I’m just making a general point I find the remakes wholesome personally Personally I don’t think remakes and reboots deserve the hate I just think they have their audience and if that person isn’t you I think it’s okay to respectfully acknowledge that and move on instead of ranting or whining about a harmless movie That’s my personal opinion tho
...what is the point in giving them dogs when she's gonna have their puppies killed?
I think it’s in a different universe because it mainly takes place in the 70’s while the og 101 Dalmatians takes place in the early 60’s
I really enjoyed Cruella. But I agree with you Isacc, that they down played her evilness and the whole idea of turning Dalmatians into coats. I also thought not having Cruella smoking was cop out, the cigarette in the holder, a significant part of the whole look, especially as the film was set in the 70s' when everybody smoked. Also Paul Walter Hauser did the worst London accent possible. :)
To be fair this is clearly not the same universe as the original 101 Dalmatians film. If this is meant to precede the events of the movie, it's impossible to exist on the same timeline. 101 Dalmatians is canonically confirmed to take place in the year 1958. Cruella is set in the 1970s, as confirmed by her red dress which is originally from the Baroness's 1965 collection.
Like Maleficent's story, I think it's just a alternative version.
I love it so cool and awesome!!
This is....honestly disappointing. Like, I love what they did with Malefisent. Like....really love! I love getting to see the backstory of characters and seeing what happened to them that made them who they are and I also like seeing a possible sympathetic side of villains too. But with Cruella's? I dunno...its interesting that she is using the villain thing as a sort of persona I guess but it really does take the bite out of how bad she originally was...it also makes it not make sense as to why she would literally kidnap puppies later on.
i think they are going to make a cruella 2
Despite some contrived moments I felt this story was interesting for a villain like Cruella
Are you going to do that video about Candace's redemption or not?
I took this movie to be more like Twisted or Wicked. Where the story over time gets twisted to make our main character into the bad guy.
In the older Dalmatian movies Cruella looks to be a lot older, I’d like to think that the money power and resources slowly start to make her go mad just like the baroness, I feel like we are just looking at a younger version of her. This movie is technically an origin story by I think Isaac is jumping the gun a little here. I think there is a lot more to come for cruella over the years.
I loved the movie, it was a ton of fun. But like you, I felt that it was a retelling and less of an origin story. It does something similar like Maleficent, but in Mal's story Aurora narrates and clearly states that it was a misunderstanding and the story was told wrong in the old Sleeping Beauty movie. I don't see a live action of 101 coming after this, as I'm not sure where the plot would go unless they completely re-wrote that as well. (Also, 90's version was sufficient enough for me to not want a live action of 101)
Hey Isaac, you saw the new intro and the new trailer for The Owl House Season 2?
I hope you do a video about Prince Eric's full story. Because I want to know what happened to Eric's parents, if his parents died when Eric was a child, how he met and adopted his loyal dog Max and how many princesses from different kingdoms beyond the "princess of Glowerhaven", Prince Eric met and has turned down on them before meet and falling in love for Princess Ariel, and if Eric had to be married to become monarch of his kingdom!
I agree this doesn't feel like the same person, especially when she's not scared of the dalmatians.
The ending had me shook she set it all up
I feel like the 101 dalmatian was a story written by George. Cruella did say that he always blamed her so maybe he wrote a story and that is what we got to see in 101 dalmatians.
No way. 101 Dalmatians is the real true story and not make up. Walt Disney would never do that to his films. He adapted 101 Dalmatians.
@@davidbrennan3967 maaaaayybe just maybe everyone can interpret it in their own way and no theory is wrong and everyone can see it the way they like best 🤠
Can you do a video about Fa Mulan's full story? Because I want to know more about her childhood and her struggle to find her destiny in the chinese society, her courage to take her father's place in the Chinese Army, and if after Mulan told about to Shang about Mushu, he decided to combines the family temples, forcing the ancestors to continue letting Mushu be a guardian. Also I want you theoryzing if like in the live-action version of Mulan, she has the same natural ability and skills to fight like she has in the animated version.
I read a book called Evil Thing which I think is an accurate representation of Cruella’s backstory
I was quite disappointed with the movie, that wasn't the cruella we enjoyed, that was some sort of good guy instead of a bad guy
Can you do a video about High School Musical theorizing what is the job of Gabriella’s mother who makes them both move so much? Because is so mysterious the reason that makes Gabriella Montez and her mom Mrs. Montez from city to city from time to time.
Can you do a video with a Ratatouille theory about what would be the conviction that Horst served time in prison? Because in film Ratatouille, Colette told Linguini that Horst tells a different story every time when someone in Gusteau's Kitchen asks him.
I do feel comfortable with idea of movie
I haven't seen it yet but I feel I will like this movie. Looks good!
You make a good point Isaac we should have changed up the story a little bit
in my mind, Cruella is how to fail at Joker
Wrong
I fully believe that if the baron had been home when she was born, he would have been able to protect Estella from her ego tripping mommy
Alternate realities for alternate minds. I’m excited about this new take on a supposed villain
That does make perfect sense
I remember that, unlike her mother, in the cartoon, Cruella actually respect the design of one of her workers and she is impressed with the dalmatian coat thus made her obsessed to get real dalmatian skin. Not because she hates Dalmatians. But after I saw this movie, I believe if we can get the sequel or something. we might get that Cruella made questionable action to hunt 101 Dalmatians to be seen as a villain just like she mentioned in the movie.
I think the Cruella Movie is set in it’s own universe.
