Who would I recommend this to?
People who want villain origin stories, or who like '70s fashion and music...and dogs.
What is this about?
How Cruella became the villainess we all love to hate.
When would be a good time to watch this?
Whenever you need nearly two and a half hours of chaos!
Where does it take place?
London, England in the 1970s.
Why did I decide to watch this?
Because it's Disney and I think Cruella is the most evil Disney villain (who wants to kill puppies??!!?)
How did I like this?
First, I hated the beginning. It was like the writers just needed a way to kill of Cruella's mom and give her a reason to hate Dalmatians despite loving dogs. Check and check, in the most bizarre scene of the movie. Not buying it. Honestly, a lot of the Dalmatian connections felt forced, like they HAD to include them. But they never mentioned her obsession with fur...
The rest was pretty darn good though. I loved seeing chaotic, anarchist, wild Cruella. It perfectly explains how she became the crazy woman she was. That moth scene was most excellent.
Have you seen Cruella? What did you think?
If not, would you watch it?
