Moth Scene | Cruella 2021

[jonathanmoody]

The hate it takes to sew thousands of delicate little life ruiners through the night... Calm hate is absolutely the scariest

[jax]

Whoever did the costume design for this movie deserves all the Oscars ever

Cruella's hatred here is terrifying. For this to work she had to figure out how to obtain between 100-1000 moth chrysalises (which could not have been easy), stay up all night sewing them onto the dress one-by-one BY HAND, do it in such a way that the process of the sewing wouldn't kill the moths, and then manipulate the Baroness into locking the moth-dress up with the rest of the line so that every dress would be destroyed. Most people would have given up at obtaining the moths.

1:15 the balls to say "I done it again", when it wasn't her who stayed up all night sewing every.single.thing BY HAND on the dress

[QuackersExpress]

I love how when the moths arrived she didn’t even run or shout she just looked to side and closed her eyes

[ForeverSweetx]

The baroness reminds me of my old boss. If you do something spectacular - she says "You learned well from me!" Which had me questioning my own abilities. I would think "Did I learn this from her? I must have." Or "Yes, I'm only successful bc she taught me well."

Kudos to Estella for recognizing that the Baroness' manipulation.

Everything aside, I wish cruella kept a moth-free copy of the dress for herself because it really was incredible

There are many ways to explain this scene. These aren't eggs, those are chrysalis.
Not all species of moths form a cocoon, which is a layer of silk they use as an extra protection while they are pupating.
Yes, moths do not eat fabrics, just because they can not, but as soon as they hatch from their chrysalis, they start breeding, resulting in many caterpillar being born and eating all of the dresses.
Some moths, as some butterflies, just add a little bit af silk at the end of their body to leave the pupa hanging, and in my experience, you can use that little silk space to sew through and leave the pupa hanging in a natural position.
Some pupae are golden, specially at their pre-hatching phases.
They of course took some creative licenses, but it is very very possible for this to happen, it just needs to be very, VERY well planned.

[zevraluna]

Ok, but imagine how precise you have to be to prevent killing the moths in their pupa while sewing them into a dress?

[feywildgamingyt]

I must say, the Baroness is one of the most psychologically accurate narcissists I've ever seen in cinema

[emmalarson]

How about the fact that Estella introduced a foreign species of highly aggressive moth to London?

[freeroamtraveler]

If this happened today, the Baroness could have sent out the tattered and eaten collection as a performance and commentary on capitalism and she would’ve gotten praised anyway😂.

[watermelona]

3:57 I love the way she was just standing there while everyone is screaming and running away

[animequeendrawer]

You have GOT to admit. This was THE BEST payback to someone passing themselves off as a great designer when she is literally taking other great designers credit when it wasn’t even the Baroness who made it.

[davidnoble]

That stare Estella made when she said "I've done it again." Baroness dares to declare self credit for one and loses all! Eat, little moths, eat. 😆

[josephbanatlao]

There should be a sequel to this movie. It should be what transpired in 101 Dalmatian, but from Cruella’s point of view

[marissaturner]

The two Emmas did a great job. Could you believe the baroness was the Nanny Mcphee?

And all the designers of their costumes uff, This movie was such a masterpiece in every single part: costumes, cast, script, scenarios. 👏👏👏

[roxyshow]

Those aren't eggs. They are chrysalis. Moths and butterflies hatch from eggs as caterpillers. Caterpillers eat until they get big and fat, then they form cocoons or chrysalis. When the cocoons or chrysalis open, the adult emerges.
These are disney moths. Because moths don't form chrysalis, only cocoons.

[agenttheater]

No matter how much it cost to have those cocoons shipped that quickly to England, how much planning it took to make sure that they would be delivered in time for them to only hatch once they're with the other clothes or how much work it took to get the whole dress 'beaded' in time and how careful she had to be to make sure she was only piercing the end where the moth inside wouldn't be kille, it's worth it to know that the loss of the entire collection will cost the Baroness twice as much.

[sakaiahreign]

The dress was absolutely gorgeous 😢 she should’ve made a backup with actual metal that looked the cocoons. It would’ve been a beautiful center piece for Cruella’s line.
