My mind is so blown right now.

So, basically, you guys are telling me she's *worse* than the Joker. All he did was kill Robert De Niro, who was giving him relentless sh*t. But Cruella de Vil wants to murder and skin hundreds of innocent dogs, all in the name of "fashion." And Disney has decided to not only give this person an origin story, but aim it at *children.*
I know it's silly to pile on at this point about a movie you probably haven't watched in 20 years but a literal quote from Cruella in the animated film when referring to the puppies is as follows.

"Any way you like. Poison them. Drown them. Bash them over the head. You got any chloroform?

....

I don't care how you kill the little beasts, but do it, and do it now."

You really weren't familiar with this character's motivations and arc?

She's very well known.

I'm a grown ass man with no kids. I vaguely remember the animated movie from when I was kid, but I have no recollection of seeing the live action version in the '90s. All I remembered was a sh*t ton of Dalmatians and a mean, rich woman named Cruella de Vil who I thought owned said sh*t ton of Dalmations.

And now I realize I just got Redstoned. Didn't check to first see who I was responding to.

She's one of the most famous Disney villains - and Disney has been a MAJOR entertainment company for several decades.

Cinephiles pay attention to the films they watch.

This really isn't complicated.

lol, I forgot there was a live action version already. I don't know if I ever watched it.

Prediction: it will earn 175+ million dollars and I will never meet a person who saw it in the theater.

Just FYI, it might be another straight-to-Disney+ release. They're waiting to see where theaters are by May to make that call. Could also likely be day-and-date streaming/theatrical.

Very glad to see Dev Patel and Kirby Howell-Baptiste co-starring in this. A nice continuation of the live action trend, including "traditional" stories such as Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast.

Hopefully Disney continues to value Diversity and Inclusion....but we will see.

I'm sure this was already discussed in the 3 pages I just skipped through.

So whatever we were watching this weekend (HGTV I guess) was riddled with commercials for this Cruella movie. Does there really need to be a villain origin story movie for Cruella de Vil? She's just a crazy rich ***** that wants a fur coat made out of puppies, its not like she's a GD super villain.
