She is very dainty so you can't go too big with the hair and make-up because it just drowns her. With a lot of the punk references, I was looking at there was a sort of harshness to it, but also there's a real beauty to it as well.
I was looking at people such as Debbie Harry — she actually wore a lot of soft-pink lipsticks, which I wouldn't have imagined. So, to do a scene where she gets off a motorbike and storms up to the Baroness with this on her face, it gives you a sense of empowerment.
Then, as the story progresses, she transforms. There are even a few Dalmatians! They all look realistic and pettable until the uncanny valley occasionally catches them in its maw and you are reminded that those are some very fake dogs.
At no point does the film attempt to explain — or even hint — at how Cruella would turn from a fashion icon with a very deeply buried heart of gold into a monster forcing her friends to kidnap puppies from another friend and to make a coat. It starts with Cruella, then called Estella, going to school, causing trouble, and being doted on by her exceptionally nice mother. After a murder that Cruella blames herself for, she flees into the streets of London and meets two young thieves, Jasper and Horace.
She dyes her distinguishable hair and joins them in their heist and the three become a family. And while she enrages her bosses, she catches the eye of the Baroness Emma Thompson , the biggest and most powerful designer in London. Cruella borders on camp with the way it hops between absurdity and melodrama — often in the same scene.
I questioned if I was stoned as Cruella raced across London in a dump truck after charging a one-eyed Chihuahua with a jailbreak. Not because it was silly it was! There are many memorable looks from the movie , but none stick in fans' minds quite like Cruella's black and red fur coat near the end of the movie. Anthony Powell created a coat that was big, luxurious, and totally Cruella.
It's an interesting scene to watch, as Cruella tries to capture puppies while wearing the coat. What made the coat stand out was Cruella's accessories. She wore a full-neck diamond necklace that covered her exposed chest, with matching earrings. For even more exaggeration, Cruella also wore a red and black feather headpiece.
Cruella dabbles in all types of fabrics, furs, and even feathers. When she meets her henchmen to acquire her new fur, she emerges from her full white bedroom. Cruella was a show stopper in a V-cut, mermaid-style dress in a black shiny fabric, while the neckline is done in half white and half black feathering.
The drama doesn't end there, though, as the dress has long train sleeves. Both sleeves are lined with black and white feathers and Cruella wore sheer polka dot gloves to tie everything together. And, of course, no one can forget her iconic red cigarette holder. Cruella really pushed the boundaries of edgy and risky fashion in the movie, Cruella. One look that was fascinating to see unfold on the big screen involved a garbage truck.
Pulling up to the venue, the truck dumps what looks like old and ratty fabric. But amongst the fabric emerges Cruella in a fitted corset bodice dress. The dress has a unique flare, as Cruella used newspaper articles of her past events as detailing. What really sets the look apart is when she drives away and the disregarded fabrics prove to be a long train. Davis wanted Cruella to move "like someone you wouldn't like" and thought of people who do not listen to any voice other than their own and thus dominate a conversation or situation.
He made a specific reference in an interview to "one woman I knew who was just a monster. She was tall and thin and talked constantly — you never knew what she was saying, but you couldn't get a word in edgewise". Though Milt Kahl initially disliked Marc Davis' caricatured approach to the design and animation of the character complaining in particular about the size of Cruella's feet , he was very impressed by the final product and, thinking Davis to be a better draughtsman, appears to have become rather jealous of his colleagues' success with the character.
When Kahl was given the chance to animate his own flamboyant villainess, Madame Medusa in The Rescuers , he swore to Davis that he would "blow your Cruella off the screen". A fan letter to Kahl from a young Andreas Deja mistakenly referring to him as Cruella's animator received the reply: "Thank you for all your compliments, but I did not animate Cruella De Vil.
She was animated by my friend Marc Davis and, unlike Medusa, was based on live-action. Cruella is known to be mean and rude, frequently barging into other people's homes unannounced and openly disrespecting others. She adores attention but looks down on others, showing no sympathy or concern for anyone's well-being.
She is also greedy and selfish and adores high fashion and art. Her interest in fashion revolves around furs from animals, particularly fur coats, as she is always wearing one.
As a result, Cruella often seeks animals to help her with making coats. Upon learning that Perdita has had puppies, Cruella attempted to buy them from Roger, showing no concern for the puppies themselves, having already purchased 84 puppies legally. The reason for her obsession is because the spots will make her fur coats more popular, meaning she'll get more money.
Her interest in spots runs so deep she turned to Lars after seeing his painting of spots as a way to substitute her obsession. Cruella is known to be short-tempered. She gets annoyed with Jasper and Horace's foolishness and throws a tantrum when things don't go her way. Her anger seems to be a problem, as it makes her reckless and impulsive, as she drove her car recklessly after the Dalmatians but ended up crashing her car into a ravine.
She may also be bipolar, as she is prone to psychotic fits; her reckless driving is a prime example. This happened again when she tried to capture the puppies in London, only to end up in an institution. However, she did seem to be a slightly reasonable woman, as she attempted twice to convince Anita to sell Cruella her puppies, only choosing to steal them when it became clear it was the only way for her to get the puppies.
Cruella is an extremely thin woman that almost appears skeletal around the curves. She has pale skin, red lips, green eyes, and eye shadow. She has shoulder-length hair, the two halves of which are a different color; the right side is black, and the left side is white. Cruella's usual attire is a simple black dress, red high heel shoes and black stockings, long red opera gloves, large turquoise earrings and ring on her right hand, a cream fur coat with a red interior, and a matching purse with three foxtails.
In Dalmatians , Cruella sometimes wears long black gloves and sometimes white gloves with her suits. A while after Roger and Anita have married and settled down together, Perdita , Anita's Dalmatian, hears the screech of Cruella's car outside, and runs to the kitchen to hide from "that devil woman.
As she approaches the front door, Roger sings a less-than-flattering song about her. Anita attempts to stop Roger for fear that Cruella might hear. Roger goes upstairs and uses various musical instruments to play the tune to the song when Cruella bursts in, demanding to see Pongo and Perdita's puppies and leave a smoke trail from her cigarette. During her visit, Cruella expresses her love for fur, especially that of a Dalmatian though she never elaborates on her plans , and also mocks Anita's choice of marrying Roger and their house.
Anita informs Cruella that the Dalmatian puppies will not arrive for a few weeks. Cruella then departs as quickly and loudly as she came, saying that she will return in three weeks. A previously excited Perdita grows anxious at Cruella's interest in the puppies, knowing that Cruella would never be a benevolent dog owner.
Cruella returns to the Radcliffe's house just after the 15 puppies are born. At first, she is furious that the "mongrels" have no spots, but when Anita tells her that the spots will appear in a few weeks, Cruella offers to buy all 15 immediately.
Roger after having his songwriting career made fun of by Cruella, and being splattered along with Pongo with permanent ink from a pen that Cruella was using to write the check for the puppies nervously but defiantly stands his ground and says they are not selling the puppies and Cruella furiously storms out, vowing revenge.
Sometime later, she secretly hires Jasper and Horace to steal the puppies while the Radcliffes are out. At home, Cruella laughs to herself as she reads of the theft in the newspaper; she is the orchestrator of the crime. The Baduns, frightened by the press coverage of the dognapping, phone her to demand payment but are told that they will receive nothing until 'the job' is done; she even brushes off their concerns about the newspaper headlines, believing the whole spectacle will blow over by the next day.
Slamming the phone down angrily after mistaking Jasper angrily telling Horace to shut up to be directed at her, Cruella then decides to phone Anita and feigns surprise at the theft to avert suspicion from herself. Roger, however, is convinced that she is involved, even after Anita relays to him that Scotland Yard has questioned and investigated her, but couldn't find any evidence connecting her to the crime.
When the police investigation appears to lose momentum, Pongo and Perdita take matters into their own paws by teaming up with the dogs of England to find the whereabouts of their puppies. They receive a hit from a Great Dane who explains that the puppies were seen being taken to the Old De Vil Place, Hell Hall , confirming Pongo and Perdita's suspicion that Cruella was behind the kidnapping.
It is later revealed that another 84 puppies were legally purchased by Cruella and taken to the same place by the Baduns. Cruella arrives at Hell one evening and angrily confronts her accomplices, demanding that 'the job' be done immediately due to the police stepping up their investigation, revealing in the process that she plans to kill the puppies and use their fur to create Dalmatian fur coats for herself.
When Jasper and Horace prove hesitant to move with purpose, she furiously throws a bottle of the former's alcohol in the fireplace causing an explosion and slaps both of them in the face to drive her point home, and then leaves, threatening to report them to the police and have them take the full blame for everything if they don't have the job done by the time she returns the following morning.
Shortly after this, Sergeant Tibbs succeeds in helping all 99 Dalmatians escape the old mansion and reunite with their Pongo and Perdita, who decide to take in the other 84 puppies.
As the Dalmatians make their way back home to London, they are pursued by the Baduns and Cruella, who were eventually told of their escape. The three briefly lose the dogs' trail after they use a frozen stream to avoid leaving tracks. Meanwhile, after meeting up with the Baduns on a country road, Cruella angrily lambasts Horace for suggesting they give up, vowing to find the puppies even if it takes them until next Christmas, before speeding off again. The crazed and obsessively determined Cruella chasing after the puppies in her car.
Cruella, Jasper, and Horace later pick up the dogs' trail again and follow it to a small village called Dinsford , where they search for them. Cruella is initially fooled when the dogs cover themselves in fireplace soot to disguise themselves as Labradors and board a lorry heading for London.
When she sees icicle water drops removing the soot, however, she realizes what's going on and chases after the lorry in her car, and Jasper and Horace follow in their truck. Pursuing the puppies, Cruella almost succeeds in ramming the lorry driver and Dalmatians all off a cliff, greatly damaging her car during the chase. The chase, however, comes to an end when Jasper and Horace, trying to cut off or hit the lorry, accidentally break off their steering wheel, causing them to ram their truck into her car, sending Cruella, Horace, and Jasper over the cliff, allowing the dogs to escape.
All three survive, but Cruella is furious and subjects Jasper and Horace to a tongue-lashing, at which point Jasper, having presumably had enough of Cruella's constant verbal abuse toward him and Horace, finally plucks up the courage to tell her to shut up before she finally breaks down and sobs over the destruction of her beloved car and the loss of her dream coat.
Walt Disney 's early vision for The Rescuers revolved around the kidnapping of a polar bear from a city zoo; writers considered reusing Cruella as the main antagonist presumably driven by her desire for the bear's fur. The idea was dismissed when the source for the storyline changed, and Disney did not want to make a sequel out of an otherwise unrelated film.
Interestingly, the idea that Cruella De Vil liked the fur, but also the diamonds , was in the original Dodie Smith book while not used in the Disney version of One Hundred and One Dalmatians , and Madame Medusa , the similar main villain of the final version of The Rescuers loves diamonds. The concept art of the film shows Cruella wearing an outfit made out of crocodile leather.
Because The Rescuers was set more than a decade after Dalmatians , Cruella was given a period-appropriate update. Aside from her '70s alligator-chic outfit, Cruella is accessorized with Sly and the Family Stone-style sunglasses. In other sketches, De Vil is depicted in bell-bottom pants and a pair of platforms.
Other concept art showed Cruella driving a water vehicle similar to the one Medusa uses in the final film. The incarnation of Cruella that appears in Dalmatians: The Animated Series which relocated the events of the films in America shares traits with both the version and the live-action version.
In design, she resembles the Cruella of the original animated version. However, the series' slightly different design style and lower budgets resulted in a simpler design; most notably, the black dress and fur coat was dropped in favor of a simple black-and-white dress. This version of the character also had a somewhat mellower and less demented personality, as well as losing previous incarnations' excessive smoking habits in the first episode, she lampshades this by stating "I picked the wrong week to quit smoking" and, notably, obsession with fur these factors may have been removed due to censors not wanting smoking and animal murder on a Saturday morning cartoon ; instead, her goal throughout the series was to own the land currently owned by Roger and Anita Dearly.
Like the live-action version, this Cruella was the head of the House of DeVil , and was often defeated in comedic fashion. Her minions included Jasper and Horace, as well as her pet ferret, Scorch.
Cruella also had a recurring habit of making recorded memos to herself, constantly carrying a tape recorder with her. In the Christmas Episode, It is revealed that she always wanted a Dalmatian puppy for Christmas, but she never got one. Her parents were always away for the holidays, while she was left in the care of a different foreign babysitter, revealing that she was always evil, even as a baby.
Cruella returns in the sequel, in which she is first seen trying to enter Fitzwell's Fine Furs store, but the manager angrily pushes her out, saying that the terms of her probation will not allow him to sell her any more furs. She then meets an artist named Lars , whom she quickly admires for his artistic vision. Lars' paintings of spots proves a fine replacement for Cruella's prior obsession. However, Cruella eventually gets bored with Lars' work, but to help him find inspiration, she came to the house and felt surprised that the puppies were gone.
She's been hit by a newspaper on her head that the newspaperman threw and found the picture of Patch and used the binoculars to see the new address on his dog tag where they moved. Cruella bails out Jasper and Horace to kidnap the Dalmatian puppies again. The duo kidnaps the puppies and takes them to Cruella's new home: the warehouse. Lars believes Cruella wants him to paint puppies, but after he finds out he would have to kill the puppies, he refuses and declares that he may be eccentric, but is not a sicko.
He tells Cruella he will not let her do any harm to the puppies. In anger, Cruella ties Lars onto a large target and throws several knives at him as torture. She returns to her psychotic state and wishes to have a new fur coat once again. Jasper and Horace are given the job to murder the puppies again but the dogs escape.
A chase through the city follows which leads to Patch put the bus in reverse as Cruella surprised that Lil' Lightning was running and shocked and running as she was defeated in Thames River. Afterward, Cruella's crimes are finally explained to the police by Lars, Jasper, and Horace and she is arrested and sent to a psychiatric hospital to be treated for anger management, and presumably some form of obsessive disorder and hallucinations alluded to by her final lines of seeing spots.
She is last seen in a newspaper showing her to be in a Psychiatric hospital in a straitjacket with an angry look on her face during the end credits. In the series House of Mouse , Cruella appears as a recurring character. As a running gag, Cruella usually measures and examines other dogs from other Disney films, and also threatens Pluto in the first episode.
Also in the first episode, when Pete tried to escape Mickey and friends after his villainy was exposed, he disguised himself as a Dalmatian but ran away in fear after Cruella began to measure him with a wicked grin.
In "Jiminy Cricket", Cruella was one of the three guests alongside Hercules and Aladdin holding and wanting the title character just before Minnie brings Pinocchio in to retrieve him.
In " Pluto Saves the Day ", when Pluto and his all dog band performed, Cruella eagerly mumbled to herself "Ooh, where's my tailor when I need him!? In " Max's Embarrassing Date ", she went on a date with the Beast and asked if he came in a medium, which the Beast became annoyed of. After the Beast gets soaked with soup he was eating, Cruella is unhappy as she would have to get him dry-cleaned. Out of the main villains, Cruella was the first to note her interest in taking over the club for her own purposes.
In the episode " House of Crime ", Cruella was accused of kidnapping the puppies. She replies by shouting "You make one movie and you're labeled for life!
Toad drives his motorcycle past the audience before her, she rants "I will make shoes out of you! Her name is first used when Delilah recognizes the scent of a De Vil from a remote which Hunter was holding. It seems, while Delilah and Doug both know of Cruella, they have not yet told the other puppies about her, based on Dolly and Dylan's reaction. Cruella makes her first physical appearance in the climax of season one.
It shows that she is very abusive and uncaring towards Hunter, due to the fact that she never called him once and seemed to forget about him when he was trapped in the container for six months. She decides to take things into her own hands. Instead of her cigarette holder, she is seen with a spray which seems to cover up the cracks and wrinkles in her face; it even suggests she has taken to wearing a wig.
After a conversation with Clarissa's human, Hugo, Cruella takes over Constantin's house and lays siege to the Dalmatians' house, explaining the fear shall stimulate the fur. Cruella is able to knock out the power and soon is able to get into the house, when Hunter tricks Dizzy and Dee-Dee.
