StinkyLulu on the Queerness of Cruella

posted by StinkyLulu
Cruella De Vil is a wealthy, man-hating fashionista with crypto-lesbian tendencies and a fur fetish. And, as if that weren't enough to make Cruella an especially terrifying villain in the patriarchal Disney universe, Cruella also likes to murder puppies.

Hi,

I saw your post and decided to re-watch 101 Dalmatians, though I had been warned against revisiting childhood movies...

I couldn't finish watching it. Just watched the first minutes and there was the scene in the park, when Roger and Anita fall into the water, I saw Roger taking out a handckerchif ostensibly larger than Anita's, and then I looked at Roger's nose size. So, I began to think cartoonists had some size issues reflected on screen, and before going further I decided to stop because I had a too dirty mind to see a Disney movie ;P.

Anyway, it's my favourite Disney movie of all time, most likely due to Cruella that became in iconic character here, too in spite of being dubbed. Shamefully, I have never heard the original voices, so I'm going to surf youtube to see if I can find a clip.

What a perfect summary of Cruella. Not to mention that Michael Jackson face. She's sort of a breed all her own.
