Luca will get here eventually
I can't wait to hear your thoughts on that movie.
YES! I am excited for that review
i know she loved the movie
The Anita/Jim’s last name being darling was intended in the original movie.
Thanks a lot!
This movie seems to be divisive,so I can't wait to know your opinion
People keep saying "Female Joker" when in fact it's "Disney's Devil Wears Prada".
That's amazingly on point
It looked out like a joker rip off but it turned out good
Edit:this does NOT mean that I hate joker, it’s one of my favourite films that deserves love
It what happens when the Devil Wears Prada and Joker have a baby and Curella the movie is there baby lol
IKR
The Joker Wears Prada
I’m sorry. I still can’t get over “Dalmatians killed my mother.” It’s right up there with “Singing killed my grandma”
"...its because... DALMATIANS KILLED MY GRANDMA, OKAY?!" 😣😣😣💔💔💔

Cruella is a decent movie if you think of this as an Alternative universe, Because this Cruella is completely different from the original
To be fair, that's what the production staff say it is. An 'alternate take' on the character, not a prequel.
Like reading a decently written AU/cannon divergence fanfic (if fanfic writer had the entire fil crew and millions of dollars). Not something you could ever see happening in existing cannon, despite some weird tie-ins, but enjoyable non the less.
Am I impiying Disney is writing fanfics of their own works? Yes, yes I am!
@@UchihaKat Well if that’s the case then Good, because it wouldn’t make sense otherwise
@@justsomeguywholovesberserk6375 Honestly, there's so much that contradicts the canon of the originals that it doesn't even make sense as a canon prequel (not the least that this is set 30 years after the animated movie was). If they try to get into canon 101 dalmations in the sequel I will throw hands.
Yes
If you see Cruella as its own thing, it’s actually a fun movie.
I agree.
Christopher Robin is basically the same as well.
@@buzzytrombone4353 Christopher Robin is just so wholesome! 😭
Which is more of a reason they didn't have to name it Cruella or forcibly make it into a prequel to 101 Dalmatians, it should have been it's own thing, but Disney never wastes a chance to milk a property it has.
To be fair, that's what the production staff say it is. An 'alternate take' on the character, not a prequel.
One thing I found pretty cute is that in the movie credits, they actually credit the dalmatians that starred in it. Idk if it’s common practice to do that, but I thought it was adorable that they did it.
I believe it's common practice if the movie is relied a lot on the dog actors
They do the same with any prominent animal acting. Given how difficult it can be and the amount of animals to do different tricks, they deserve points
In the original 100 dalms there was literally 100 puppies on screen at end of the movie and I'm disappointed they weren't named
That recapping Once Upon a Time with animated characters does sound like a lot of fun.
Yes please
yes please, that would be awesome!
this a copy of the Joker movie kind of
Please I need it in my life
@@zenmaster8 how true also have ever watched the jungle book animated movie & the live-action reboot of 2016 1?
I see Cruella’s rewrite story creates a sort of urban legend. She doesn’t care how she’s seen, so she wouldn’t say anything and let the ball roll with questions about her Dalmatian dress, accompanied with Rodger’s song. It still kinda works.
Holy crap you're right.
Honestly you’re right, I mean maybe if it gets a sequel she could eventually actually become the myth or more of try to become a puppy killer, but fails once the Dalmatians trumpet over her, but still it seems Cruella just doesn’t care whatever the public thinks about her, just those who are close to her(Horace and Jesper, oh and probably that dress shop keeper too since she needed his help for later in the film). I kinda had a theory that the reason she didn’t kill her mother’s Dalmatians was because of two reasons 1.She didn’t want Horace and Jesper to leave her side because they’re both dog lovers and even Horace gotten close to the Dalmatians. Or 2. She decided it wasn’t the Dalmatians fault her adoptive mother died because it was her real mother that cause them to rush over to attack her.
@@Rosa-he6xb Also she never actually stated or indicated the dogs were at fault. First she blamed herself & than later the baroness. Disliked them sure. Eventually I guess she just moved on, given they’re just animals who were fallowing their master’s orders.
@@musicallydisneyamvs6731 Shoot you’re right, my bad I forgot that detail that she fully blame herself and never said that “Oh the Dalmatians are actually the ones at fault”.
Eh for me it doesn't. She was a monster in 101 dalamations. Its lame to me that shes not like that by the end of the movie
"Dalmatians killed her mom."
Funniest shit I've ever seen.
You’re laughing. Cruella’s mother was killed by dalmatians and you’re laughing.
@@emblemblade9245 I am. And I'm not gonna pretend it's not.
My grandma died from singing
Yall are lucky my mom died from some pomeranians
@@daylinhesford3116 Cruella why are you a shitty person?
"Cause Dalmations killed my Grandma!"
Just like Maleficent, I think I’d appreciate this movie more if these were original characters, not rewrites of characters I really enjoyed as a kid and still as an adult. I just get such blah “fan fiction” vibes from these remakes.
I wouldve wanted a guy go manic and become the worst of what theyve despised
Kind of like that Heather's Reboot in 2019. I thought it was funny and an interesting take on "Heathers" but it would have been better received if it was an original story.
You do have a good point
Me too. Not because they gave her a backstory, but because the backstort seemed too rushed. Like, her mom being knocked off a cliff by dalmations? That was the prologue, and all it did was make me wonder "why the hell didn't she run away?" I appreciate them having her embrqce her inner evil unlike they did with Maleficent, but even that comes with some problems. And the main problem I have is that... Estella is way too awesome to be the same Cruella from the animated movie or even the live action one. Cruella was either a graceless monster who got her car wrecked, or whom barn animals got the better of before driving her insane. Estella got the better of an aristocrat with her fashion and theatrics. I will not deny that the presentation is amazing in this movie, and it really comes back to the potential this movie would have as a standalone film without the convoluted twists dragging it down to Hell like... a DeVil, as it were.
Seeing Maleifcent as a child, I liked it for not being a really old Disney movie (I had something against the audio, don't ask). I thought it amazing, and a perfect Sleeping Beauty movie. And for a however year old kid, that was fine. I think it's an ok movie now, but I don't praise it as highly.
Seeing Cruella as a teenager, I agree with the original character idea. I actually liked the less action and more dialog in this movie, and it was pretty refreshing to not have loud music and fight scenes every half hour.
As a 101 Dalmatians prequel, it's just alright. As a movie on it's own, I think it's pretty great.
Cruella: a movie about a designer seeking revenge on a money grubbing billionaire who screwed them over for their own profit
Disney: a money grubbing billionaire corporation who screwed over the film's designer for their own profit
Everyone: waiting for that self fulfilling karma to unfold
……………huh.
why would they do that... BECAUSE THEY WANT MONEY! THAT’S ALL THEY WANT! THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT THE STORY, THEY JUST WANT A NEW LAMBORGHINI
also i didn’t see cruella yet, what i just said pretty much is what i think about raya and the last dragon in a nutshell
@@izzyc347 you have serious issues
@@revaslatts8011 ?
Fun fact: in the original book, Cruella had a cat, and instead of having the cat spayed, she'd just drown the litters of kittens.
8:46 Cruella and Anita had known each other since they were kids, and sometimes Cruella would turn up and act all spoiled and derisive, especially towards Anita's lowly musician husband Roger. He was simply exaggerating to make fun of how obnoxious she could be, and because he's a song writer: "in song form!" It's an old dynamic that we've seen a million times.
Jeez, why didn't she just give away the kittens if she didn't want them?
@@cintronproductions9430 because she's cruel. It's in the name. She's the devil woman. She wants to make puppies into fur coats, why would she care about the lives of kittens?
@@dragongirl89115 exactly Cruella isnt ment to be some baddie girl shes supposed a sicko a monster the og live action 101 dalmations actually got this concept right
@@dragongirl89115 Actually, I had a talk with my mom about this, and I don't think she actually wanted to turn them into coats. Notice how she gave the job over to Jasper and Horace. Both of them wanted to get the job over with and looked like they absolutely didn't want to kill them. If Cruella was as big of a monster as you think she is, she would have killed the puppies herself. That's what my mother believes, and I could agree with her when looking back on this movie. Don't think I'm excusing her actions because I'm not. Inciting someone else to do murder is still a degree of murder. I'm just saying this film might've gotten something well-made.
Eh, not really? I believe Christoper Robin is actually the best Disney Live-Action Reboot-Quel in that it actually builds on the franchise’s core themes, stays true to the characters and the tone and otherwise creates a new story that has never been tackled before in previous movies. Cruella looks nice and the music is neat but it has no honest business being called Cruella which is a problem.
Honestly I completely forgot that movie existed lol
didn't they portray the male main character (from 101 Dalmatians) as weak in this, while in 101 Dalmatians he actually stood up to cruella?
Forgot that existed.
@Erwin Lii Yeah. The movie wanted to make him a neglectful workaholic but the dude seems to have PTSD from WW2, stop lecturing him and help him, movie.
@The Sheepie Queen Nah, Hook is way better
The movie still committed the cardinal sin of explaining away every single aspect of a character with needless backstories. Why does she do an evil laugh? She saw it on TV. Is De Vil her real name? She plagiarized a car.
To be fair, don’t we all imitate media when/if we develop our own evil laugh? It’s not exactly a thing people do realistically…
Not that I disagree with claiming the sin as a whole, I just wouldn’t include an evil laugh in it I guess?
why does she call Anita 'Anita darling'? Because that's her name. Why does she live in the aptly named Hell Hall? Because she inherited Hellman Hall and renamed it
@@daneroberts1996 Might as well name her Anita Solo to rub in the stupidity.
The laugh’s actually a reference to the original! Cruella’s initial character in both the film and the original book was inspired by actress Tallulah Bankhead- the laugh, calling everyone “darling,” and her overall mannerisms very much mimic Tallulah’s. The bit on TV where she sees the laugh is a clip of Tallulah in the Alfred Hitchcock movie Lifeboat. So in that one at least there was some thought behind it,
But then you have that “oh so THATS where it came from” which is kinda fun to realize during movies like this. But yeah.
At least it's not Mulan.
I was not expecting this movie to be good but I really did end up liking it, and it's ending was similar to Joker were I know multiple people who "know" what will happen next. For example, I believe that Cruella will be the Cruella from the animation. Slowly going mad over time until she becomes a her own twisted version of the baroness. My girlfriend thought that this Cruella was slowly getting better citing the people around her that propelled her to do better rather than before were everyone around her did nothing but feed her ego. I like both versions and it's a testament that this movie could make you think about it's lead character far more than any other Disney live action remake.
"Why do you want to skin dalmatians and turn them into a coat!?"
*"Because dalmatians killed my mom, ok!?"*
...ok, I know my memory is kinda bad, but I'm pretty sure she never stated that, right? I mean, she toyed with the idea, and she falsely implied she did it, but I don't remember she ever saying that being her reasoning behind it. I may be wrong, though.
The answer is yes. Literally I would make a list of people who would want to see a Cellspex-sock-puppet-style recap of Once Upon a Time with 1939's Wicked Witch saying: "wicked always wins".
“Her parents were killed by Dalmatians” sounds like a literal parity of Disney at this point.
when I saw this, I swear I thought of the trolls movie memes that people would make
Parody** and yes
@@JazzStation95 that just sounds like even more of a parody
@@jorgecaballero1013 bEcAuSe sInGiNg kIlLeD mY gRaNdMa, oK?!
It was the Baroness that killed her mother*
*other mother
At least Cruella doesn't redeem herself in this movie like what happened in Maleficent.
:L
But for God's sake the start is something out of a revenge fanfic, the typical "I'm a good person and gets treated badly, and I at some point break and get back at the people"
And all for the sake of her coat, in which she had an obsession with stealing and skinning animals for her coats in 2 live action* movies
Yeah, why does Disney keep making live action movies where they try to make psychotic villains more sympathetic? Imagine if they do this with Frollo of all people.
But they do try to make her sympathetic, which to me is just as bad. I mean, an egocentric sociopat who wants to kill puppy's for a nice piece of clothing is not really the person I'd care to see a sad backstory for.
And if at all, definitely not this "Dalmatians killed her mother"-nonsense
@@cintronproductions9430 Disney will probably do something like frollos parents were murder by a jipsey(i think thats how you say it)
"...and NOT plagued by a bunch of obvious, eye-sore CGI..."
did you not see...every single animal in the movie?
Christopher Robin was the first good Disney Re-Whatevers, and l definitely think it's the best of them still. That and Jungle Book were the only ones l heard enough good about to watch them, too, which tells me everything l need to know about them.
@Elalae La Granted, I have also seen that. But seeing as it completely slipped my mind, I'm declaring it one of the worse ones.
@@TheDanishGuyReviews It gets points for doing something creative at least.
It was more of a sequel to the books than a straight-up remake of the movie.
@@reasyrandom l guess in my mind it's not a Re-Whatever, since it is a sequel. Maybe that's why l forgot it in the first place.
This is probably one of the only live action Disney films that I've actually somewhat liked. The others were kinda boring but this one had at least a little more effort put into it. It makes me think of an AU or fanfiction, which isn't bad since I've been looking for more story points to make something out of. So yeah. Props to this movie for at least being a little better.
I guessed that revenge part right before it happened and all my family looked at me
"made by creative people, not accountants"
Me, an accountant: :'(
15:00 cruella’s cameo in Twisted is amazing as well (spoilers below)
So halfway through the back half of the play, they have a musical number about how almost *every* disney villain is sympathetic (Ursula was usurped by the mysoginistic triton, Gaston legitimately thought Belle had Stockholm syndrome, etc)… except cruella, who proudly shouts “I just wanted a coat made of puppies!” And gets booed offstage by the other characters
I definitely have some problems with Cruella but like you I was SHOCKED how much I enjoyed this.
I personally had a blast with this movie. I’m glad I watched it in the theater and not on Disney Plus.
I really admire the live action Cinderella but this is also really good.
I'd love to see a recap of Once Upon a Time with the animated characters, that sounds like it'd be a fun watch.
PLEASE recap the once upon a time characters, that show is buckwild and every day i regret that i ran out of energy and had to give up at whatever season it was that hades started dating the wicked witch of the west (they ran out of ideas, they ran out of ideas so hard and it was beautiful)
it was the second half of season 5
My biggest problem with the remakes is that they aren’t there own movies, to quote cinema sins it’s just Disney saying “hey guys look we got better at drawing!” Or “hey wanna see this movie in 3D?” That’s why I really liked cruella
I went to see this with my friend about two-three weeks ago and we had a blast. We went in with zero expectations and came out blown away.
We had a amazing time, laughed at a lot of the jokes and loved the characters. We both enjoyed how villainous Cruella was even if it was PG13.
10/10 would see again
Not gonna lie, this movie felt more like someone's revisionist fanfic than anything else to me. Ok at best
It kinda is, I believe the production crew was intending to make an "alternate take" rather than a prequel
I thoroughly enjoyed it and to me it’s the best movie of the year so far.
That's what I was thinking when I was watching 😂
"ok at best?" they put so much work into everything if you knew even a slight bit about movies you'd realize how much effort they put into making the movie.
@@Cosmiichu That means nothing to the reviewer.
Me seeing Emma stone: Isnt that the women that voiced eep in the croods 1 and 2?😁😄
Me seeing: Hey its the girl who died from spider-man!
“In what other film does a Disney character go on a drunken bender”
Dumbo?
She actually showed a picture of Dumbo on-screen.
That Minstrel from Sleeping Beauty that REEEAAALLLY liked King Stephen and Hubert's vintage champagne/wine.
Yeah remember when I said "It'll take years until Cell is gonna find something that's mildly enjoyable from a Disney reboot"?
I...take that back now...
"Dalmatians killed my mom" just reminds me of Trolls' "singing killed my grandma" and I try not to remember that movie exists, so...thanks for that.
Celly, thank you for providing such a fair review of this film. So many reviews focus only on the negative aspects, but you aren’t afraid to share the parts you enjoyed as well. It’s sad how refreshing I find positivity these days.
I just wish a company would make a prequel story about a villain that actually shows how they become what they are
I know I'm going to get flak for this, but... Revenge of the Sith.
Reasy is right Revenge of the Sith, and I'd add Joker, both films do that. To an extent Frankenstein, (the book) also does this.
GodOfOrphans The joker does that as much as Maleficent does that. The joker in that film doesn’t act or have the same motives as any actual full villain jokers (like can you see that guy becoming a super confident mass murderer who kills and tortures INDISCRIMINATELY and also is an extremely controlling and abusive boyfriend to Harley? Can you see him torturing/murdering a child and still coming off as charming?
Yes! Recap OUaT with animated versions! That’s be hilarious!
So a fun movie, though we can all agree that their best live-action remake is the 98 version of 101 Dalmatians, primarily by updating some details about Roger and Anita's jobs, and casting Glenn Close as Cruella herself
More so than making her a dog lover instead of a dog hater, I got the feeling that OG Cruella just...didn't care. animals were just things, she didn't love them or hate them, she just saw them as things. Which is kind of more villainous, at least compared to this movie, because the movie went out of its way to give her a dalmation related backstory. Before, she just didn't care about animals at all.
I'm glad this movie was fun, because at least it sidesteps the crimes of a lot of the other live-action-re-somethings-of-OG-animated-movies in being fun, and making her the heartless monster she was originally probably wouldn't have been very fun, but them going out of their way to make her entire life revolve around dalmations was a bit too much, imo.
Exactly!! Like, she’s crazy rich and she literally SAYS her passion in life is furs. She comes in wearing a huge fur coat! She was only buying the puppies from Anita because they knew each other from school so she knew they’d be purebred with no major defects and she could buy them at a super low price, and then got really pissed off when they said no. She doesn’t...hate dogs. Just like that rich asshole dentist who shot a lion and posted it on Facebook didn’t have a personal vendetta against lions.
Its the only Disney live-action remake that actually feels like its adding something decent to the original story, which elevates it above all the other remakes. Still though, saying that this movie is better than the other live action remakes is like saying that an oven is cooler than an inferno.
I think the one part that especially ground my gears (and this goes for most other live action backstory type movies) is the fact that Cruella couldn't just make any of her defining features in her own brain tomb, they had to be literally presented in front of her so she could go "I like that 😈" and start copying it
I think the issue that Cruela suffers with most is that it’s ideas feel like a contradiction of themselves. It wants to be its own thing and be separate from the original continuity, yet it constantly parades references and symbols of the original Dalmatians movie over and over again, and the ending would imply that it’s still part of the same type of universe as 101 Dalmatians, so which is it? It does seem like someone who started this did actually want to try, but the studio wanted all of these ties back to the original to nostalgia-bait the audience.
This movie just feels like mindless alternate universe fan fiction,
And I do mean that in the nicest way possible
I have not seen the movie personally yet, but from the previews I've seen, I can tell that the costumes department had an absolute blast working on this.
I work at a Joann fabric and I noticed that around the time this movie came out, we started getting a lot of Cruella related sewing patterns and even fabric. I guess that makes sense, this movie is all about fashion after all. But there was also a big increase in fabric featuring classic Cruella from the animated film. Interesting how that works out, huh?
The part where they try to murder Cruella and suddenly every news outlet is completely sure of her death (despite the fact that no body was found and they'd have no logical way of knowing where she lived or anything else about her life) is when I just stopped being able to turn off my brain and enjoy the movie.
That makes sense since this is Disney’s Joker. It was a great movie that I like, I can’t say that for the other live action remakes lol. This one actually did something DIFFERENT and I love it!
I saw this on release night and loved it. Especially since 101 Dalmatians was the first animated Disney film I saw as a child.
I'd say the point of the film is an argument for Nature vs Nurture.
Hadn't even realized how early I arrived
I'm living for the idea of you talking about OUAT
I love the show, but oh god was it a dumpster fire at times
I’m just waiting for more South Park at this point
One funny moment I had was when it said in the credits "based on the book The Hundred and One Dalmatians by Dodie Smith" and I said "is it *really* though? Like is it *really?* "
Cruella isn't a remake in my opinion. It's a standalone story. A prequel to the original 101 Dalmations, if you will.
I believe Disney Live-Action stories that don't copy an original story are good movies. I know this is rather unpopular, but I actually enjoy the first Alice in Wonderland Live Action movie. It's not about Alice as a child, but rather as an adult revisiting the world (unsure about the second, as I haven't seen it). Cruella is it's own standalone story and I honestly love it.
Yeah, the movie is not really remaking anything, it's an origin story set in a reimagined version of 101 Dalmatians
Prequels are not standalone by definition. They are meant to lead into the originals. If you had said reimagining/standalone and stuck with it maybe you'd have a point but you contradict yourself literally in the next sentence. Your Alice in Wonderland example further contradicts your thesis because it's a sequel not a standalone.
@@GodOfOrphans Alice in Wonderland is a sequel, yes, but what matters is it's not a carbon copy of the original. It's trying to be it's own story.
Imagine if later on she became WAY more like her mother
Isn’t that the whole point of the film?
@@pineappleunicorn7729 I mean- I guess so yes
Like we do see cruelly have a hint of how bad her mother is and will probably cause cruel things later on
The End credits scene had me scratching my head at the end of the film. Roger said that he just wrote "Cruella De Vil" song, despite him getting Pongo as a puppy at that time. Then there's the fact that if Cruella's Dalmatians had puppies, and she gave them out to people she knew. That would mean Pongo and Perdita are siblings.
I am probably the only one who is glad that the main villain isnt "a guy because he hates women ". That stereotype is so overdone and im gld we finally get a break from it.
PLEASE DO THE ONCE UPON A TIME RECAP!!! I need that
I don’t see why people are saying that this is the “female joker” in the comments
Both are card carrying villains, who got movies focusing on them detailing an alternative interpretation that gave them a “start of darkness” backstory, where the movie title is the character itself.
Whatever the finer details of each movie, on the surface these comparisons exist and are easy for a lot of people to make assumptions by
@@emblemblade9245 Cruella wasn't a Card Carrier.
this biggest mishap for me was turning Cruella into this plotting, clever, understated genius type.
like. she was outsmarted by PUPPIES in the og movie.
Recapping Once Upon a Time sounds like a video I'd share with friends.
So.... please do it.
16:09 Yes, I want that so badly now.
I maybe one of those people who only really enjoyed the dalmatian mom killing thing, but listening to these points did make me see the film in a different light. I still don't like the movie overall, but it is an interesting view point to see it in a different light.
The sound of the truck horn when Cruella honks at the jail is the same sound as her car horn in the animated feature.
Horace compares dog owners looking like their dogs in the same way that Pongo does in 101 Dalmatians (1961).
Emma Stone was not allowed to portray Cruella smoking as she had previously been since Disney had banned characters being shown smoking in its films since 2007.
Despite being an English character, Cruella de Vil has never been played by an English actress. Every actress has been American with two exceptions. Victoria Smurfit who played De Vil in Once Upon a Time (2011) is Irish and Michelle Gomez who voiced De Vil on 101 Dalmatian Street (2018) is Scottish.
Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, Emma Thompson, Julianne Moore, and Demi Moore were all in the running to play the role of Baroness von Hellman. Eventually, Thompson ended up taking the part of the Baroness.
Like many subtle references in the movie to its original source material, young Cruella's blots on her permanent record resemble Dalmatian spots.
The first film in the 101 Dalmatians series not to receive a G rating from the MPAA.
The Baroness von Hellman played by Emma Thompson is a German title not a English title. Her character was inspired by the evil Baroness Galiana von Chatouiller from The Enchanted kingdom of Sir Thomas Tattletale (2017)
The dog-loving Cruella DeVil is played by Emma Stone, who in the beginning of her acting career voiced a dog in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody: Crushed (2006).
This is the third live action adaptation from the 101 Dalmatians franchise, and the first to be a prequel.
Emma Stone is only 5 years younger than her character's adopted mother (Emily Beecham) and 30 years younger than her character's birth mother (Emma Thompson).
When Cruella reads her birth certificate, it reveals her birthday is August 7th 1952.
Estella last name appears on an offer letter from Liberty. It was addressed to Estella Miller.
This film marks Emma Stone's second time using a British accent, after The Favourite (2018).
In the post-credits scene, Cruella gives Pongo and Perdita to their respective owners, meaning that the puppies are the result of a brother and sister mating. This move would be even better if it wasn’t involved with 101 Dalmatians and was a standalone film based off an older character.
Review once upon a time! I've been waiting for you to suggest this!
Yes please talk more about Once Upon a Time! I'd love to see more about that, the good and the bad! Loved this video too, thanks for making it!
There is no "Best" remake just "The most tolerable" one
Your Once Upon a Time recap sounds great
I'd argue that, out of the straight-forward remakes, Jungle Book and Pete's Dragon could be considered on-par if not better than the original.
The only times where "fixing" the story is actually necessary, and not just lipservice for people who take CinemaSins too seriously.
I’d love to see a breakdown of Once Upon a Time from you!!! All the seasons, or just specific characters, I think it would be a great analysis of writing, character development, and plot/character contrivances (here’s looking at Rumple’s yoyoing character arcs cause someone needed to kick off the plot of each season).
Cruella was actually fucking good wow
7/10 for me
Should’ve been titled Cruella Re View
I would love a recap of Once Upon A Time with the animated characters! Thank You so much for asking CellSpex! :D!
If Disney had made this back in the '90's and released it via Touchstone, then we could have gotten something really cool out of it. Throughout the whole thing, I could feel the director just aching to make something a little darker, a little more twisted, really leaning into the crime-movie, birth-of-a-monster vibe that we kept getting so close to - and if this was made back before Disney lost its BALLS (sorry, but it's true), we might have gotten that. I could see a '90's Cruella origin going into some truly twisted places - you can bet she would have smoked, for starters, and probably developed a complex about dogs right from the beginning, instead of just implying she might at some point. That Cruella would never have had that 'you're my family' moment; she would have blackmailed Horace and Jasper and they'd have had to grimly accept that this was their life now. That Cruella probably WOULD have killed the Baroness, maybe by turning her own dogs on her. That Cruella only exists in my head - but it's fun speculating.
(Also, am I the only person who thinks this Cruella may also have a bit of Madame Medusa from 'The Rescuers' thrown into her makeup? It makes sense; Medusa was originally going to be her, anyway - and in some ways, I see more of her in the Cruella character than I do Miss De Vil. Medusa's signature prop is a walking stick, just for starters, just as Cruella's is here, and both of them use it as a weapon for whacking underlings. Also, her signature red dress is mirrored in the one Cruella prominently wears, and she's just generally a lot more hands-on in a way that original-flavor Cruella never was. She was a rich woman who hired goons to do everything for her - Medusa, on the other hand, was a regular woman who desperately wanted to be rich, and was not afraid to get her hands dirty in the process. Substitute 'fashion' for 'great big diamond', and you actually come up with something relatively close to what the current film gives us.)
Yes, PLEASE do a once upon a time recap! Your recaps are absolutely hilarious
Hell yes recap all of once upon a time with the animated characters! Love to see it
Please, do the recap with the animated characters! That's an unbelievably awesome idea!!
One thing I noticed is that somehow, the editing in this video is a lot more vibrant than in your Wish dragon video, which only came out a few weeks ago (I believe) Good on you/Your editor

The history of Punk and high fashion is actually a really REALLY interesting history in the UK. I literally cannot explain it but there were many fashion icons who started in Punk and blasted it into the fashion world in the UK. But highly recommend looking into that weird history of drugs, punk and fashion. It was a wild time.
Yes, I want you to recap Once Upon a Time with the animated characters.
This title made me instantly raise my eyebrow
*not me JUST realizing that "Cruella DeVil" is a play on "Cruel Devil"...*
Oh man, I would love that recap of Once Upon a Time! I stopped watching around the time they were doing the Neverland stuff because it had just gone so off the rails for me, but I'd love to know what's been going on. And yes please, use the animated versions! XD
Im so glad you brought up Cruella from Once upon a time. Definitely one of my favorite versions of the character. I would be all for you doing a once upon a time recap
If it wasn’t for Roger and Anita’s looks, I probably would’ve at least considered it canon to the live action 2000’s films.
