Related: Cruella Continues The Worst Disney Parents TraditionĬruella'send-credits scene also suggest she has started breeding Dalmatians, overcoming her childhood fear and adult hatred of the breed. This play with perspective and reputation could carry on into the sequel, should it happen. In the very next scene, Disney plays the "just kidding" card, avoiding the moral quagmire that is skinning puppies for fashion. Cruella enjoys the post-fashion show scandal that paints her as an anti-establishment criminal, but it turns out she doesn't truly have the heart to kill dogs. The shocking reveal doesn't last long, however. At one point, she suggests killing the Baroness' Dalmatians to make a coat, later appearing in a spotted dress suggesting she did just that. Of course, the one overriding question is: How does Cruella become the villain of 101 Dalmatians? Throughout the 2021 movie, Cruella brushes against evil, but never truly embraces it. At the end of Cruella, she and Anita are friends - so why does that change? Does Roger really have a grudge against Cruella he hopes to avenge in the future? Does Cruella have a long-term plan in which she hopes to again get the help of Anita and Roger? The end-credits scene raises multiple new questions about the plot of 101 Dalmatians that must be answered in Cruella 2. If the sequel is a remake of Disney's animated classic, presumably told from Cruella's perspective, it will likely explore her connection to Anita and Roger more deeply and put a different spin on their relationships given the new point of view. Instead, it just puts a new spin on Roger and Anita's characters that complicates their interactions with Cruella and means their roles in 101 Dalmatians no longer make sense. If Anita and Roger both have strong relationships with Cruella pre- 101 Dalmatians, why isn't that explored in the movie? Cruella is meant to explain how Estella becomes the Disney villain, but the end-credits scene doesn't close the gap in the timeline. Cruella reveals that inspiration struck Roger much earlier in the Disney timeline, raising the question - if Roger had a good song to sell, why was he sitting on it all this time?Ĭruella's end-credits scene is revisionist, changing the plot and meaning of 101 Dalmatians. In 101 Dalmatians, it's Roger's conflict with Cruella that inspires him to finally pen a hit.

In a key moment, Roger's interactions with Cruella during the 2021 live-action Disney film are used to explain the origins of his hit song, "Cruella de Vil." In fact, he starts composing the song during the end-credits scene, rather than spontaneously writing it before Cruella's visit in 101 Dalmatians. The change subverts Roger's character development in 1961 animated movie , where he goes from aspiring songwriter to professional success. Related: Every Way Disney's Cruella Origin Copies Harley Quinn Roger seems to know Cruella only through Anita. In 101 Dalmatians, however, the two don't seem to have a strong relationship. The movie suggests Cruella and Anita have a shared history, with their relationship shown to be the distant politeness of former acquaintances. The movie's end-credits scene confirms Cruella's Roger, who was the lawyer for the Baroness before being fired, is the same character as Roger in 101 Dalmatians. Cruella mentions during the movie that Roger blames her for being fired, foreshadowing their future enmity.
The biggest inconsistency between Cruella and 101 Dalmatiansis the history the 2021 film creates between Cruella and Roger.
