Didn't they make one recently where they tried to spin the villain solely known for turning puppies into purses as good?
Yep and they do that by making it not even believably the same character.
They explore an alternate story. Sometimes they do that and explore fun scenarios like "what if Cruella DeVil was a somewhat decent person" or "what if all the heroes lived together and operated a magical ghetto and also brought their enemies back from the dead specifically so they could force them to live in squalor in the ghetto forever". Fun little alternate stories.
I'm struggling to see the link between that and 101 Dalmatians.
It's probably how the real Cruela would tell her backstory, making herself the victim
The movie itself is excellent. However there is one horrible almost meme like scene where dalmatians run into a fancy party and kill Cruella's mother. If you ignore that scene, it's a great movie.
It might actually be a good thing that they made the dalmatians seem very mean/vicious.
The original movies were so popular that it actually caused a big problem for the breed. Many people got dalmatians without doing their research first. They're a very active breed, and require lots of exercise. Without proper exercise and socialization, they can become quite the trouble makers and this kind of gave them a bad reputation...
that's pretty much true of any dog... but I guess dalmatians even more so?
Not really "more so" just "more likely to become" as the minimum requirements are higher and thus easier to fail to meet.
Yeah and it's pretty good I thought. Shits on the old story but I care not.
Cruella was excellent, in my opinion of course 😁
