I wouldn't call her entrepreneurially minded. She fully intended just to make a single coat and keep it herself. If she were intending on making it a business, she should have been setting up a Dalmatian farm with the 101 puppies and then mass produce the coats. Inbreeding health defects don't matter all that much when you're just gonna be skinning any puppies born within weeks.

She is one of the best movie baddies, and her name is marvellous.
I recently rewatched the original and had forgotten just how well they portray her evil. Even as an adult I was actively repulsed the same way I would be if I met her in real life. Classic Disney definitely had some incredible villain writing.
The cartoon or the live action
Cartoon is the one I rewatched. I remember the old live action also being good though.
Didn't they make one recently where they tried to spin the villain solely known for turning puppies into purses as good?
Yeah and it's pretty good I thought. Shits on the old story but I care not.
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.
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.
Cruella was excellent, in my opinion of course 😁
This is something Christi Noem would say about 101 Dalmatians….
You miss 101% of the shots you don't take.
I like how the recent movies had Cruella step on another villain-coded woman to get to the top.
