A Disney Villains Retrospective, Part 16: Cruella de Vil (101 Dalmatians)

The great dog robbery was a serialized story by Dodie Smith. that originally ran in women's day magazine during 1956. It was then published as a stnadalone book, the 101 dalmatians. In the original story, Pongo and Missis have a litter of 15 puppies. On acquaintance of the family, the very eccentric Cruella De Vil takes interest in the puppies. Cruella intends to make a coat out of dalmatians fur and has the puppies kidnapped Pongo and Misses set out to rescue the puppies and end up saving not only their 15 childrens but also 82 other puppies that Cruella has aquired Cruella's last name is played on the word devil and the novel fully embraces this. Although Cruella's first love will always be animal furs, the book also gives her an obsession with fire and pepper. She watches her fireplace like an excited child and at one point stops her search for the puppies to cheer as a bakery catches fire. She puts pepper on all her food and she tries to walk off with one of the puppies, he bites her and then informs his siblings that she even tastes like pepper. Her ancestral home is nicknamed hell hall by the locals. She also has an affinity for drowing animals. When she sees the spotless dalmatian newborns she assumes that they are defective and recommends the dearly surroundings. SHe goes on to say that her persian cat had several litters of kittens with alley cats, meaning they are not purebreds and are thus worthless. Cruella has drown her kittens. For this reason the cat ends up befriending the dalmatians. Cruella has a husband in the book who is a successful furrier. This makes sense since Cruella doesn't really loves him but only the furs he provides her with. Everyone seems to pity the spineless man since being married to Cruella is bound to be an unpleasant experience. Cruella's cat assure the dalmatians that he doesn't deserve any sympathy. In other words she is strong and bad, he is weak and bad.

when it came to adaptaing this on Disney, some characters got changed or dropped. Mr and Mrs Dearly became Roger and Anita Radcliffe. The mother dalmatian was renamed Perdita. Confusingly there was a separate dalmatian mother named Perdita in the book who was dropped from the movie but it was decided that Perdita was a better name than Misses. Cruella's cat and husband were also both dropped to leave more of the spotlight for Cruella herself.. The 101 dalmatians movie that went unused was called the creation of Cruella De Vil. Bill Peet worked extensively on the story, writing the script and doing many of the storyboards. Mark Davis came up with the original character design. In the original book's illustrations, Cruella looks rather pretty rather than have a tall wicked queen type. Davis drew her as a living squeleton with a skull like face. Her body contrasted with her enormous fur coat. She is always accompanied by a trail disgusting green smoke from her cigarettes. Everything about her id delightfully off kilter, with her demonic looking like telephone. Cruella's mannerism and voice were partially inspired by the actress Tallulah Bankhead. Mark Davis also modelled her partially after a women he knew ans was not fond. Another crucial part of Cruella is her voice. Walt Disney had originally asked Lisa Davis Waltz to read for the role. Davis could apparently do a jaja gabor impression and that was the initial direction Walt had in mind. After reading a few takes, After a few takes, Davis realized that Cruella was not the role for her and asked to read for Anita. it ended up being the right call because she got the part. The role of Cruella eventually went to Betty Lou Gerson who previous has done the opening narration for DIsney Cinderella Cruella is still funny but Gerson's performance suggests a real malice behind her words. Those aren't empty threats. If Cruella has designs on you, you are in trouble.

2 standing traits of personality from Cruella that quickly appear are impulse and selfishness. She expects the Radcliffe to hand to her the puppies when she proposes to buy them without any further question. When they refuse, she takes it as a personal insult. She can't understand why they would want to keep the puppies if they are not going to make coats out of them. In Cruella's mind, they are otherwise useless. Even though Cruella has more than enough dogs taken from elsewhere, she makes a point about stealind their puppies because they dared to tell her no. This impulsivness ends up working against Cruella since stealing puppies ends up potentially drawing the police over her fur racket. That means that Cruella needs the coats to be made sooner than later so she won't get caught with stolen dogs as evidence which means that the dogs will not be grown enough which means less coats than she expected. During the climax of the movie during the chasing scene of the truck, she has no plan at that point, she just wants to drive that truck off the road. Judging by the height of the hill, if Cruella crashed the truck, there probably wouldn't be any salvageable fur for her coats. At this point it's Cruella's pride that has been wounded and she is ready to sacrifice her original plan to get any form or revenge. For this despite being built like a twig, Cruella is quite intimidating. Her own henchman crawler in fear when she gets angry. Maleficient is evil for the sake of being evil. She can only enjoy her life by making the other lifes miserable. Cruellla in the other hand doesn't care about how happy or sad she makes people with her actions. She puts herself first and if someone else suffers that's their problem. Cruella's vindictiveness, selfishness and cruelty are plausible. Cruella also needs some other to do the dirty work and possibly take the fall for her if they get caught. She has Jasper voiced by J. Pat O'Malley and Horace voiced by Frederick Worlock.

Like Cruella, the brothers are well designed, looking as shifty as possible. Their book coutnerpart named Jasper and Saul play rather a small role in the story, being only present at the scenes in the hell hall. In the movie they are more proactive, stalking the escaped dalmatians alongside Cruella. The brothers appear to be pretty crooks for the most part. They fit the mold quite nicely. They are competent to pull the initial theft off, threatening enough to pose actual danger for the puppies but still bungling enough to let them get away and not overshadow Cruella. While both of them are wicked, the brain here is Jasper who is the schemer. Horace meanwhile speaks much more slowly and appears to just be going along with whatever his brother does. He does catch on the dog's tricks like rolling in soot to disguise themselves or walking on ice to avoid leaving paw prints. Jasper considers himself too rational to imagine dogs being this clever. There is another villain, Dirty Dawson who never is a menace for the puppies since he is part of an actual TV show the puppies watch " the thunderebolt adventure hour ". Justice thunderbolt represents the hero archetype of the time period. Lawson is the archetype of the western bandit. His booming laugher is provided by Paul Frees. It was added for the movie. However, Jasper and Horace's favourite show, " what's my crime " was actually in the book as well. Watch my crime is a spoof of the game show " what's my line ". 2 of the crime contestants were actually voiced by the villain's voice actors. Gerson voiced Miss Birdwell and Frederick Warlock voiced Inspector Graves. Meanwhile J. Pat O'Malley also voices the colonel. In the comic adaptation, the batons watch thunderbolt like the puppies. Unlike the puppies, they root for Dirty Dawson. Roger have a catchy bluesy number about how a terrible person Cruella is. By the end of the movie that has been so popular that that was sung on the radio.

The song became a hit even outside of the movie. Most of people probably don't remmeber the 2 other songs offhand. Songwriter Mel Levenwrote 2 other Cruella songs before settling with the one we know. The song repeats cruel and devil ad nauseum. The other song he wrote was a non sense song about how everyone hates Cruella. It's similar in tone to tbe bluesy song but it has more of a childish schoolyard feeling. Jasper and Horace also had a song written for them. It was a drinking song called " Don't buy a parrot from a sailor because all them birds say embarrassing words. " The movie doesn't seem to suffer from having lost this one. A lot of media had been related to the 101 dalmatians. We had a sequel, a live action remake, its sequel, a prequel, and 2 animated series and before any of them came out, Cruella was planned to be the villain in the Rescuers. Cruella was switched to Madame Medusa. The 101 dalmatians would get a direct sequel in 2003. At the end of the first movie the fate of the villains is left somewhat unclear. The sequel reveals that the three of them were arrested shortly after. Cruella has restraining order against her from the Radcliffe and she is on probation : no furs. Horace and Jasper were sent to jail presumably because they have a bigger rap sheet than Cruella. Cruella is now voiced by Susanne Blakeslee in most of the post movie appearances. Horace was voiced by Maurice LaMarche while Jasper was voiced by Jeff Bennett. In the movie, Cruella sees a modern art piece, a single black spot on a white canvas. Here it becomes clear how deep seated her obsession is. She strikes up an odd friendship with an eccentric artist, Lars, voiced by Martin Short. He doesn't realize yet how bad she is until she re steals all the puppies with the intention of turning them into a gruesome art project. Once Lars sees her true nature, he refuses to have anything to do with her.

As for Jasper and Horace, Cruella bailed them out.

Dirty Dawson is back voiced by Jim Cummings. We meet Thunderbolt's loyal sidekick little lightning voiced by Jason Alexander. Initially Little Lightning appears as loyal. Thunderbolt gets the fame, the glory and all the fans. Plus he is insufferable. Little Lightning lies to Thunderbolt, telling that the writers plan on killing his character off. His plan is to have Thunderbolt run off to score some good press by doing some actual heroics. When he is off on his folly, Lightning can become the new star. However Lightning finds out that Thunderbolt will actually become a hero a save the stolen puppies, he makes sure to make a stop to it. Lightning encourages Thunderbolt to blindly charge into battle which gets him and Patch caught by Cruella. Then he leaves the puppies to be slaughtered in order to further his own career. Ultimatly, Lightning is mistaken for an accomplice of Cruella and arrested. Cruella meanwhile is thrown into an asylum. Horace and Jasper actually decide too reform and sell clothes themselves, but no fur. The 101 dalmatians also received one of the first live action remake in 1996. Gleen Close was portraying Cruella De Vil. Cruella is here a high profile fashion designer running her own company, the house of Devil. Anita is no longer a school acquaintance but one of Cruella's top employees. Cruella seem to have a possessive obsession towards Anita. Anita works for Cruella so Cruella thinks that she owns Anita. Anita mentions that she doesn't want to work elsewhere but that if she got married, that could possibly change. When Anita marries Roger, Cruella takes it as a personal betrayal. Just like in the Disney movie, Cruella also takes offense in not being able to buy the puppies. Hugh Laurie and Mark Williams are playing Jasper and Horace. Cruella also has a third henchman, Mr Skinner, played by John Shrapnel. According to Jasper, a dog tore his throat open when he was a child, leaving him scarred and mute.
It would explain Skinner's willingness to kill so many puppies. Skinner also steals and skins an endangered tiger specie for Cruella. Once the police finds the tiger in her house, she isin hot water. The screenplay was by John Hugues who also wrote the first 3 " Home Alone " movies. The final section of the movie is almost exclusively a montage of the criminals getting painfully tricked by the animals. In 2000, the remake would receive its own sequel : " The 102 dalmatians ". After years, Cruella seems to have been rehabilitated after extensive experimental procedures. She became a perky friendly animal lover who would rather being called Ella. However hearing certain loud noises revert the subject back to their old selves. When Cruella hears Big Ben, she starts seeing spots once more. With the help of her stressed out servant Alonso played by Tim McInnerny, who had a smaller part in the first movie, Cruella recruits a remplacement for Mr Skinner with Jean Pierre Lapels played by Gérard Depardieu, a fashion designer almost as crazy as Cruella herself. They intend to take the puppies to lapel sweatshop in Paris and make that coat. The first live action movie's tone was of a whimsical modern day fairy tale. The sequel's tone in the other hand is of an insane fever dream. The movie manages to look like more of a cartonn than the animated original. Cruella had her own live show in France's Disney studios park titled " Star and Cruella De Vil ". On a spotty soud stage, two hapless assistants try to film a movie about and star and Cruella but unsurprisingly find difficult to work with. Some guests would be callled to help act out several parts including as one of the badens. This Cruella was mild after Gleen Close. Animated version of Cruella, Jasper and Horace were seen in the interactive sorceress of magic kingdom game where Hadès want to take over Disney world and request Cruella's help in securing main street. If they succeed she will get her coveted dalmatian coat.
Then there was the movie " Cruella " in 2021. It seems like the movie wanted to turn Cruella into a badass antihero kind of character. I feel like it would have been better if it was an unrelated Cruella inspired character. Even if Emma Stone is good in her role, it doesn't look like Cruella. The movie serves as an origin story for Cruella starting all the way back at her birth with her real name being Estella. According to the book, black and white is her natural hair color so that's nice that they kept these colors even as a kid. Estella has a dark side named Cruella. Early on in the movie, her mother is killed by a pack of CGI dalmatians. A lot assumed this was the reason why Cruella hated animals but that was not the case. We follow Estrella's life as she climbs up the way through London's fashion scene all while trying to take down the baroness, the high profile fashionista who killed her mother. During this, Estrella's bad side, Cruella, continues to bubble to the surface. The baroness played by Emma Thompson is quite fun and closer to the original Cruella than the Emma Stone one. Jasper and Horace played by Joel Fry and Walter Hauser are on hand as always. This time they know Estrella sinc echildhood. They are also literal thieves ranging from pietty thefts to full on heists. The movie won an academy award for its costume design. One of the reason that still didn't work that well is that the original Cruella act like the kind of Cruella born into luxury with that entitlement coming from decades of being spoiled and stepping on others. In this movie Cruella is never overly cruel to anyone who doesn't deserve it. Jasper and Horace are worse but even then it's mostly done for survival. The evil acts she committs are solely aimed at the baroness for revenge. Just like the live action remake " Maleficent, " we never really get to see her evil. This movie has been compared to the movie " the joker " for that reason.

Top 5 Worst & Best Forgotten Disney Sequels (Animated)

Jungle Book 2 has a good heart behind it. Released 36 years after the original movie, the sequel seems pointless but i would argue that Baloo and Mowgli get a bit more closure in their goodbye this time. Even if it's mid, it's enriched the original characters. Mowgli is still a trouble maker, Shere Khan still a menace, Baloo still a carefree rule breaker and Kaa as sneaky as ever. We get to learn about the mysterious girl Mowgli followed at the village. Some however could say that sequel was unimaginative and uninventive that was just about Mowgli missing Baloo and visiting the jungle. It feels a lot like an affectionate fan fiction with pleasant animation. Mowgli and Shanti have established a sort of mutual child crush. Predictably however, Mowgli decides that the man village's life has too many chores and responsabilities and runs off back to the jungle. Of course after, Mowgli decides that he misses some of his humans fellow after all. But first he has to meander about uncertain of what to do in the jungle for 70 minutes. The problem is that once we step out of the village, most of the jungle scene feels like a remake of the original. As pandering as the sequel feels, it's still likable. The clean animation and character filled voice makes it pleasant enough.

Aladin and the king of thives was given the best budget of the 2 sequels and the bes tof all is that Robin Williams returned in his role as the Genie. The third movie is based on Alibaba and the 40 thieves which is a good choice. The return of Jafar ahd none of the budget but all the spectacle and excitement. Aladdin and the king of thieves feels more high budget yet ho hum spectacle. The story is basically Aladdin and Jasmin getting married. But their wedding is interrupted by an old man voiced by John Ryes Davies. He turns out to be essentially Alibaba and his 40 thieves. Father son bonding, betrayal and confusion ensues. Along with a great plot about a great mystical artefact called the hand of Midas which turns anything to gold. We finish with a sweet goodbye and lots of good chuckles from the Geni in between. While Aladdin's family issues are pretty legitimate, they don't exactly make for a suspensful story to me but the Genie does light up the low spectacle, stealing the spotlight. It was still a solid a and satisfying way to end this trilogy.

Tarzan and Jane is one of the worst forgotten sequel. We have a Tarzan scene set in the future. What we see is 3 clumsily stuck together Tarzan TV pilots. With Jane reminiscing with the animals since it's apparently Tarzan and her 1 year anniversary. It reminds me of Cinderella 2 with harmless stories of mostly inconsequential fluff like their minor marriage quarrels, or introducing Tarzan to Jane's friends. Or Tarzan helping some islands visitors find diamonds. Or Jane going on on a picnic. Some of our minor characters can run on the annoying side like Jane's friends who can be over bearing. At least the animation is better than the Aladdin TV series. The voice acting are okay. At the end, the biggest plus in the movie is seeing the relation between Tarzan and Jane. But the movie was mostly tedious, unrelated island stories.

Pocahontas II has the opposite problem of Jungle Book 2. Instead of having a nothing story that was vell executed we have an interesting story that was abysmally executed. The main story is about Pocahontas being sent off as a peace maker to meet the king of England. If Pocahontas doesn't act civilized in the royal court, the king will declare war on the Powhantan tribe. How did they manage to make Pocahontas travelling to England to be a peace diplomat to the king so dull? The pace is slow. For a long time we just get a boat to look at, dresses to look at, we get to watch every step... Then we watch her dancing. Everything happens in such a snail pace. Despite Pocahontas's voice actor, Irene Bedard, still having a beautiful singing voice. these songs are muddled and forgettable. Sounding more like chammering and yammering that could be kind of considered melodic? At a point all the voice actors start singing and talking over one another in one big, confusing mishmash. By the end of the day we still have no idea what the Ratcliffe's incentive was. There is no deeper complexity or relateability to him. He just wants gold. Apparently he is convinced that the entire senate of England will buy into it, but then Pocahontas manages to convince the king that they don't have gold. The relationship between Pocahontas and John Smith was one of the best romance and it was one of the driving factor in the previous movie. John Smith gets here sidelined in the movie. He cames back at the end of the movie out of nowhere, does some shoddily animated fighting then basically gets snubbed by Pocahontas in the ending. These 2 move on without making look like they cared about each other at the first place.

Mickey's house of villains. This is a follow up that Mickey's magical Christmas movie except with a Hallowen theme instead of Christmas. It's Mickey and all the Disney characters watching through some Hallowen shorts. But then every single Disney villaintakes over the joint and tosses Mickey out. Many of the shorts themselves are kind of a low budget Fantasia with Mickey. They also include some good Mickey, Donald and Goody shorts. The only problem is that the in between scenes have a bad animation budget. But not only the comedy in the shorts is good, but unlike in Scooby Doo where we continuously run away from ghosts, here they fight back and try to outwit the ghosts. Mickey's mechanical house is a good short. With John Cleese as the narrator It's story is minimalist yet smart. Its quaint art style is a beautiful combination of old and new. Overall this movie is a fine sequel packed with spooky, light hearted romps with Mickey with some cheesy but interesting transitions segments in between.



Atlanti's : Milo's Return. There are some creative ideas and the original movie had stunning animation. But here the animation is so cheap. A collection of failed plots that were flimsily slapped together andthen called a sequel. The animation is choppy and downright goofy at times. Voices like Michael J Fox are a pretty tough act to follow for Tidus for " Final Fantasy X ". Milo's return was originally the first three episodes of a sequel series that was never completed, called Atlantis. Each episode takes part in a different part of the world that ties loosely at best to Atlantis. The first story is about a massive sea monster destroying ships in Norway. The mysterious build up of the story has the mysterious fellow controlling the Kraken + the people. But they dump this story in favor of going to Arizona to talk with a shop keeper who sells artifacts. These stories are muddled, short lived and confusing.

Tickerbell : legend of the nether beast in the other hand is quite a good forgotten Disney sequel.

Why Pixar's Up Is a Forgotten Masterpiece

The idea of adventure first brings Carl and Ellie together. Ellie's first words in the moving is paraphrasing Muntz's words from the movie she presumably watched just like Carl ' adventure is out there " It's what she tells to Carl from the start and even when she is not physically present anymore. Despite this, their personalities differ on how they follow through on this love. Carl is a dreamer happy to merely fantasize to himself about the thought of adventure. Though he is lured by the charm of adventure, he is ultimatly too afraid of taking the risk that might end up hurting him. When Ellie first meets him, he is timid, hesitant and passive. Ellie is the opposite. She is impulsive, decisive and takes every opportunity for adventure she can grasp. This influence on Carl sees him start to act on his desires too. Though adventuring may sometimes hurt, Ellie encourages Carl to never stop trying. This is what makes their marriage works. The coming together of 2 contrasting types of people bound by the same goal. The recurring imagery is the use of ballons. It's Carl's ballon that first sends him on adventure with Ellie. As he is recovering, it's a ballon that Ellie floats into his room to cheer him up with " spirit of adventure " written on it. As they grow older, Carl runs a ballon stand and so ballons become a physical symbol for the spirit of adventure. While Carl and Ellie's marriage is thriving ballons are a frequent sight reflecing the buoyant joy in both their lives. Beside their visual appeal, ballons are the perfect fit for the childlike belief in adventure that Ellie holds. They are simple, pure and if you let them they will soar without limit. Ellie's illness and eventual death is the first turning point of the film. Carl is left with those ballons, once a symbol of joy and now a hollow representation of emptiness in his life.

2 other consistent symbols appear. Obviously the house itself but more boardly we see Carl's physical attachment to the objects inside the house. He sees them as some sort of manifestation of Ellie herself. He fixates on the only thing he has left of her : the houes they made, the adventure's book she gave to him, the furnitures in the house like the chairs they used to sit in. He treats these objects as companions and speaks to the house as if it was Ellie. So what Carl try resisting from having his mouse turned into a mole, we don't have an old man not wanting chance but rather a broken husband unable to let go of his wife's death. Carl's idea of adventuring is inseparably tied to Ellie. He has no desire for adventure any further without her. That is until Russell comes into screen. It's the fear of him being sent to a retirement home that ultimatly also spurs Carl to up and lift his house. Russell just like Carl misses something he needs to fulfill. Russell's sach and that one final empty spot is another symbol. A metaphorical gap in his life left by his father who once bonded with Russell over their love for the outdoors but now is barely around anymore. His needs for the badge represents him wanting his father spending time with him knowing he would have come to represent Russell with his final badge. Carl's goal is to finish what Ellie started and fulfilling her dream to go to the Paradise Falls. That's why it's so important to take his house with him because in his mind, it's a final resting place for her and presumably his own. Carl had no return plan which is why Russell's presence is important : he gives Carl a reason to return, to go on.
