The villain Cruella De Vil is reinvented in Disneys live-action film Cruella by eliminating her most heinous and defining trait: her obsession with killing 99 Dalmatian puppies to make a spotted fur coat out of their skin. Similar to Disneys live-action adaptation of Maleficent, Cruella brings a new perspective to one of Disneys most iconic villains by exploring exactly how she became the fearsome heiress depicted in 101 Dalmatians. The movie follows Estella (Emma Stone) as she slowly becomes Cruella over the events of the movie, providing an origin story for one of Disney’s most iconic villains.
