"Cruella is an awful person, she just happens to be fabulous"
Yess that sums it up so well

I actually really loved Cruella. Plus you gotta admit, that dumpster dress was insane.

[paimon]

The fact that Glenn Close got to keep all her Cruella wardrobe, iconic.

[Sibunamember]

"descendants, the franchise that single-handedly killed ever after high" yes by stealing all of ever after high's concepts and then making shittier dolls

[inescastellano]

The best Cruella is Glenn Close. She did an amazing performance.

[rynfornow]

You know, there was a true story where a girl loved her dog so much that when it died she made it into a bag/purse, so that’d be an interesting twist.

So here’s the issue I’m seeing, and this is just my opinion: People who thought of the new Cruella movie as it’s own movie mostly seem to love it, and people who saw the movie as a reiteration or prequel of both 101 Dalmatians seem to not like it as much.

Edit: dang y’all I actually started a discussion lol

[crunchygowon]

I think the descendants outfits look cheap and overuse leather (alex meyers made this joke and called the isle, the island of leather) but i really liked D2 outfits and the clothes some Aurodon students wear throughout are good too.

[ThethElysium]

Glenn Close as Cruella is literally like a cartoon come to life. Not only is her performance top notch, but the costumes are so perfect for her character!

[StellarAvenger]

Once Upon a Time Cruella was low-key good. She looks like she stepped out of the original animated film

[samantha.redacted]

if they were going to make a sympathetic Cruella they could have shown her struggling with other addictions and her discovery of furs

[megan]

Glenn Close absolutely understood the assignment.

[kaushikidhupar]

By not showing Emma stone in furs in the movie even once Disney removed the most important aspect of cruella's character

[msfthest]

The Cruella movie would have made so much more sense if in the end it was revealed the whole thing was just the mad ravings of Glenn Close Cruella dictating her wildly inaccurate autobiography.

I LOVE Emma stones cruella de vil. Though it doesn't have alot of the original/traditional traits that she used to, it's such a great character! I love it. She's just so....sassy and fierce!

[claudiomaldonadosalvador]

Remember guys, Cruella is NOT a prequel to the 90's movies.

[DNIELXOXO]

I agree it was so dumb making Anita's maiden name 'darling' - like everyone knows that it was just cruella calling her darling

[CaseyB]

"Emma Stone's character feels like an entirely different person from the original conception of Cruella De Ville." You hit the nail on the head when you said that, and that's exactly why I like Emma Stone's version the best. She's actually likable to me. The original conception of Cruella was evil to the point where I'd feel more comfortable meeting Hannibal Lecter. Why? Because I understand Hannibal hating people and having a distaste for humans. But the "original conception of Cruella" who was out to kill dogs & puppies in order to make a fur coat? That on the other hand, is something I do not understand at all and I never will.

[mariaherfst]

Cruella is evil and should stay evil, because we love her for it. She's a stylish villain and that's all she needs to be. Some sort of tragic backstory for her isn't it.

The Glenn’s version is just incredible. From her acting to the fashion everything was PERFECT. The OUAT’s version was good for the show. She did a great job.
