The recent trailer for Disney's Cruella pretty much highlights everything wrong with this company. Let's take a closer look.

You forgot there was 101 Dalmatian (Show) in 1997 then we got a 2nd movie in 2002 called 101 Dalmatians Patches London Adventure, And in 2019 We got 101 Dalmatian Street

This movie, birds of prey, and the joker from suicide squad has completely destroyed the term Edgy. The only thing edgy here are the borders of the screen you are watching it on.

Dunno why yall thunk she's gonna be misunderstood like maleficent, it looks more like its about her descent to madness like the joker which us fime but still unoriginal

I don’t think the movie Cruella is trying to depict Cruella as a misunderstood hero, it’s just a fun movie with a cunning protagonist.

The reasons they’re milking live action is probably because they butchered Star Wars. They figured they could pump out any old shit under the title and it’d be beloved. When it all went to shit they went into overdrive trying to recoup their losses. Hence the reliance on remaking films that they know work. They’re playing it safe because they daren’t do anything decent for fear of more loss

I think the whole point of Cruella's self-aggrandizement throughout the trailer is meant to illustrate the extent of her evil/insanity. It isn't supposed to be taken seriously. Almost like she's going to be a villain.
Hid Dah6 hours ago
I really like Maleficent, though. But I do think it's weird that they're trying to redeem a character that we already know the motivations and how cruel she is (I mean, unlike Cruella, we didn't really know Maleficent's story and her motivations to do the things she's done, so, in my opinion, it's okay to write a story telling her pov)
Yorancy6 hours ago
Instead of making her a role model, why not make her the opposite? Have the whole movie with her thinking she is in the right and telling the audience she is right and that she is just misunderstood and fights to prove that, while showing the complete opposite. Have her fight the antagonist, thinking that she is in the right and is the good guy when she is just as bad or even worse than her. Like maybe at the end, have her end up worse then the antagonist, and instead of proving herself to be a misunderstood she proves just how right everybody was about her, that she isn't a strong, independent misunderstood person, she is just a crazy, messed up, overall cruel person who is just as bad as the oppresors in her life. The ending could either have her forever in denial or just have her give up and embrace it, maybe showing girls what happens when you go too far or something. Basically instead of having her as a role model have her be an example of what not to be. Or to be even more simple just do what joker did.
I was kind expecting that Disney have learned about the huge Mullan mistake... But Not today folks, not today

Simple answer... Disney never did anything "new" all of thr Disney stories are derived from thr folk tales of different countries or regions. Taking out the interesting stuff and anything that didnt fit with white/male/Christian supremacy...and thr parts that were inappropriate for children of corse.
Thackery Binx13 hours ago
I honestly don't think the trailer has enough material to criticize this heavily. If the movie does try to turn Cruella into a misunderstood anti-hero, I'll be mad, but I don't think the trailer has proven that yet. The trailer is from Cruella's point of view, and obviously Cruella doesn't think of herself as a villain. No villain does. If the movie only shows her side of the story, that's uncool, but if it subverts and reveals her lies/delusions, it could be good.

Disney rarely came up with anything new. Nearly every mainstream animated feature they've made has been a remake of a classic fairy tale or children's story. Their original stories that click are few and far between. Today they've realized they're out of ideas, so all they can do is remake their own movies and give villains their own standalone backstory films.

When I saw the trailer I also had the sudden realization that they were going to appeal to the feminists. I remembered this one iconic line from the original life action remake, where Cruella is salty that the protagonist lady would give up her career to become a housewife, and the duality and the implications of that line. That it was dubious and undesirable to be a career woman because the villain/ antagonist was saying it, so therefore it must be wrong ; that’s so telling. I am a woman and wether you decide to become a house wife of a career woman, whatever makes you happy. But. I remembered that line and I was like, there was more controversial feminist agenda in that one line in the OG live action remake (which is my trash, I love Glen Close and all the puppies) than in that whooooole new movie. I could already tell my eyes were going to roll back in their sockets eventually being bored enough to wait this movie

I really do feel like there are *some* Disney villains who could be interesting to explore, like Ursula or Dr. Facillier. Don't make them tragic heroes, but explaining *how* they became the villains we know and loathe could be fun. Cruella de Ville literally wanted to wear puppies. You cannot, and should not, make her sympathetic in any way.

Disney has had its down years before where creativity went bankrupt for the most part. First time around the time first Rescuers was made which flopped, prompting Disney to do more shitty live action. 90's animator renaissance saved their asses, then another new drought happened in the early 2000's. Them re-buying their old animators back by bringing in Pixar breathed somewhat new life again. And now we're experiencing Disney's 3rd drought where complacency rules the day.

I don't think the same person should put Disney down for putting a new spin on an old character and praise the Joker, which literally did the same thing. I don't think the concept itself is what's bad, it all depends on the end result. (I love Joker btw.) I honestly think this movie looks interesting. Maybe it's a bit too much wishful thinking on my part that it will be decent considering Disney's track record, but I don't think the idea itself is bad or lazy.
RobberatorDay ago
"something tells me that well-known male villains won't be getting the same treatment" at least there's twisted: an untold story (I think they actually tried to add some depth to Jafar in the Aladdin remake, but they mostly wound up making him blander... why couldn't they have given him a proper villain song instead?? oh yeah they were too busy "empowering" Jasmine)

Has it ever been more obvious that Hollywood simply does not understand (or care about) what the average moviegoer thinks or wants from their entertainment? It's like the elites are competing to see who can lose touch with ordinary people the fastest.
Andrew McGrawDay ago
I liked 101 and 102 Dalmatians because Glenn Close is/was *made* to be Cruella. Emma Stone? I could see her being the daughter of Cruella or something, but not her. Also, I am so glad I don't have Twitter anymore, because then I'd have to see shit like "Cruella de Girlboss!" and unironically supporting the murder of puppies because we have fallen that low as a species.

Uhh, I only watched this because it auto played when I wasn’t paying attention. I avoided it because I honestly thought it was a review of the awful live action Dalmatians movie from who knows how long ago. A minute in, I realized my mistake, and then could not focus on the rest of your review. I was too busy thinking, “why?” And when you got to your wrap up, I snapped out of it as you asked the same question. There is next to no originality left out there. Thumbs up from me. Cheers Drinker.

Shit man, at least the live action one from a decade ago had someone who owned the role and managed to stay entertaining throughout that snorefest. This? Cruella's dull as dishsoap here.

I'm a female of the species... I love and adore animals. The fact that Disney are trying to make us feel sympathy for one of the most horrible women in the Disney franchise. She wants to kill puppies ffs! I haven't even seen the film and I know I already hate this films existence.

Critical Drinker, at this point, don’t even bother with Disney. I don’t want you giving them your money. That’s money you could spend on much better substances. Plus, it means that Disney has one less subscriber to Disney Plus. Or you could just pirate. I’ve heard you’re an expert.

I feel like Hades would be a far better candidate for the spin off story. Tragic backstory?- was almost killed by his dad Igniting incident?- was cheated out from his rightful position by his brothers (also contributes to his motivation in the animated movie) Expansion on the original story?- Hey, how about we address the fact that the Gods on Olympus are actually huge jerks at best and awful human being at worst (insert your meta commentary on the Hollywood culture here) Come on Disney, if you wanna make a more "serious" movie why won't you take a source material that would actually benefit from the said "serious" tone and resemble the original story at least tiny bit more.

I'm guessing killing animals is going to be justified in her story or a "bad" girl, making this one of the movies with the most ammount of cliches that I won't be seeing. *Or* A movie genuinly about the already well known and written villain, that adds to her story while making it within the characters range (doesn't just add stuff to make her likeable), and properly explains why she actually became this obsessed with animal fur, in the first place.

The problems here cruella is classic disney villian/ but its freaking movie why you guys want the company listens to everything this movie is good its fiction and anyways it would be awesome.

Actually you can do that fabric burning thing... It's made by soaking the fabric with some chemicals that once dry don't allow the fire to create a flame, and only burn the fabric into ashes immediately, thus avoiding a fire :) it may not look as cinematographic and "aesthetic", if one could say this approach has any of those things, it would be very uneven haha but essentially that would be it

it kind of looks like they wanted a birds of prey but why are we trying to be sympathetic to a woman who wants to murder dogs again? Like, isn't she just a Karen?

Yeea... this looks truly awful
Yes let’s sympathize w the woman who has “Cruel” and “Devil” in her name
Boy, they seem to be competing about who makes the worst movie nowadays
Shouldn’t peta be protesting this movie for normalizing a puppy skinner or something? Then again peta kills as many dogs as China
Imitation is the highest form of flattery, that being said, I get some serious Mr. Plinkett ripping off vibes from you
Can we get iron giant 2 Atleast?
Disney has had its down years before where creativity went bankrupt for the most part. First time around the time first Rescuers was made which flopped, prompting Disney to do more shitty live action. 90's animator renaissance saved their asses, then another new drought happened in the early 2000's. Them re-buying their old animators back by bringing in Pixar breathed somewhat new life again. And now we're experiencing Disney's 3rd drought where complacency rules the day.
Nevermind, my links get erased as well...Freedom of speech, yall!
Sorry for the links, but this is the only way to speak freely on youtube today. Everything else gets erased automatically.
It was either this or another live action reboot of 101 Oh wait that'll be the sequel nevermind
I knew they were out of ideas but come on
greyscale birds of prey
I don't think the same person should put Disney down for putting a new spin on an old character and praise the Joker, which literally did the same thing. I don't think the concept itself is what's bad, it all depends on the end result. (I love Joker btw.) I honestly think this movie looks interesting. Maybe it's a bit too much wishful thinking on my part that it will be decent considering Disney's track record, but I don't think the idea itself is bad or lazy.
"something tells me that well-known male villains won't be getting the same treatment" at least there's twisted: an untold story (I think they actually tried to add some depth to Jafar in the Aladdin remake, but they mostly wound up making him blander... why couldn't they have given him a proper villain song instead?? oh yeah they were too busy "empowering" Jasmine)
Okay now Disney has officially ran out of ideas the bullshit at Lucasfilm pisses me off but idolizeing a puppy murder nah I am fine
You forgot there was 101 Dalmatian (Show) in 1997 then we got a 2nd movie in 2002 called 101 Dalmatians Patches London Adventure, And in 2019 We got 101 Dalmatian Street
You forgot 101 damasin patch London advance. And the tv show.
@GerardGaming2007 Minecraft Master i did meanch it and the 102 damasin after the tv show and after 102 damasin 101 patch London advance then the new one General damasin on disney.
You forgot about 101 Dalmatian Street. There was a TV show back in 1997. And there was a 2nd movie, I even do review on 101 Dalmatian Street
Cruella is just going to be another strong woman movie by Disney.
What kid or Disney fan boy would even want to go and see this? There’s no audience for it!
Lefties who can’t get enough of another strong woman movie.
Honestly, for the effort, Cruella deserved that coat
Has it ever been more obvious that Hollywood simply does not understand (or care about) what the average moviegoer thinks or wants from their entertainment? It's like the elites are competing to see who can lose touch with ordinary people the fastest.
I liked 101 and 102 Dalmatians because Glenn Close is/was *made* to be Cruella. Emma Stone? I could see her being the daughter of Cruella or something, but not her. Also, I am so glad I don't have Twitter anymore, because then I'd have to see shit like "Cruella de Girlboss!" and unironically supporting the murder of puppies because we have fallen that low as a species.
"Baroness von Mayonnaise." There is more creativity in that one name than there is in this entire film.
She sounds like Patti Mayonnaise's aunt.
Isn’t Cruella supposed to be a angry self obsessed middle aged women, and not an attractive 30 something.
Uhh, I only watched this because it auto played when I wasn’t paying attention. I avoided it because I honestly thought it was a review of the awful live action Dalmatians movie from who knows how long ago. A minute in, I realized my mistake, and then could not focus on the rest of your review. I was too busy thinking, “why?” And when you got to your wrap up, I snapped out of it as you asked the same question. There is next to no originality left out there. Thumbs up from me. Cheers Drinker.
Shit man, at least the live action one from a decade ago had someone who owned the role and managed to stay entertaining throughout that snorefest. This? Cruella's dull as dishsoap here.
I'm a female of the species... I love and adore animals. The fact that Disney are trying to make us feel sympathy for one of the most horrible women in the Disney franchise. She wants to kill puppies ffs! I haven't even seen the film and I know I already hate this films existence.
Critical Drinker, at this point, don’t even bother with Disney. I don’t want you giving them your money. That’s money you could spend on much better substances. Plus, it means that Disney has one less subscriber to Disney Plus. Or you could just pirate. I’ve heard you’re an expert.
Twisted did it better
Finally! Someone that has the same views of modern Disney that I do!
I feel like Hades would be a far better candidate for the spin off story. Tragic backstory?- was almost killed by his dad Igniting incident?- was cheated out from his rightful position by his brothers (also contributes to his motivation in the animated movie) Expansion on the original story?- Hey, how about we address the fact that the Gods on Olympus are actually huge jerks at best and awful human being at worst (insert your meta commentary on the Hollywood culture here) Come on Disney, if you wanna make a more "serious" movie why won't you take a source material that would actually benefit from the said "serious" tone and resemble the original story at least tiny bit more.
Ok, but Maleficent was good. The only good one.
Half the reason why Disney does this is for copyright renewal.
“Baroness Van Mayonnaise”
Honestly if people just stop watching these movies and let them fail like Mulan, eventually Disney will realize that there remakes won’t make money anymore and they’ll start making new shit again and the movie industry will do better.
Only thing I like about this trailer is the actress who plays Cruella herself. Don't know who she is, but she attractive....😍 Oh, and🖕🏼 the movie
@G. M.: Will look her up thanks👍🏼😁
She's Emma Stone. She was in 'La la land' which is a great movie (if you like musicals/love stories) and she first became famous with a comedy called 'Easy A'.❤️
I'm guessing killing animals is going to be justified in her story or a "bad" girl, making this one of the movies with the most ammount of cliches that I won't be seeing. *Or* A movie genuinly about the already well known and written villain, that adds to her story while making it within the characters range (doesn't just add stuff to make her likeable), and properly explains why she actually became this obsessed with animal fur, in the first place.
The problems here cruella is classic disney villian/ but its freaking movie why you guys want the company listens to everything this movie is good its fiction and anyways it would be awesome.
Actually you can do that fabric burning thing... It's made by soaking the fabric with some chemicals that once dry don't allow the fire to create a flame, and only burn the fabric into ashes immediately, thus avoiding a fire :) it may not look as cinematographic and "aesthetic", if one could say this approach has any of those things, it would be very uneven haha but essentially that would be it
it kind of looks like they wanted a birds of prey but why are we trying to be sympathetic to a woman who wants to murder dogs again? Like, isn't she just a Karen?
The sad fact is that even though this will (hopefully) bomb, people will watch it. People will sit their kids in front of it. And we will get more like it because it's an easy cash grab.
Cruella: *abuse animals* Disney and people in 2020-2021: aesthetic, poetry, emotional, lovely, art
I need a new Disney film that has a villain that just can't be redeemed or explained, that would be more interesting
It's the 70's rehashed. I want to watch it purely for nostalgia and to see the epic Mini car escape through the streets of London.
They want to turn a woman who skins puppies into a feminist icon??? Aight, great message, girls, skin puppies
They already have a live action version of 101 Dalmations with Glenn Close as Cruella De Vil. Now they want to make this garbage? No one can top Glen Close on that role! This is why Anna and I are wishing Dreamworks would by the rights to Frozen.
Yeah i'm gonna watch it for Emma Stone, i'm just not gonna pay disney, yarrr
Birds of Prey is a fuckin' masterpiece, stfu
I would not call masterpiece, but it really is a good movie.
I mean tbh Harley isn't dumb she was a doctor but she does act pretty dumb
The musical theater parody group Starkid has a hilarious take on this trend in the form of "Twisted", a musical about Jafar's "misunderstood past". You can find that on their USworlds channel.
I will still watch it because Emma Stone ☆彡
