what did cruella DO to london's pet market?! | my first time watching 101 dalmatians in YEARS 🐾

[@takkycat]

In the book, Cruella had a cat. Every time she had kittens Cruella would drown them. That cat helped the puppies destroy all of Cruella’s coats and left to live with them!

[@spacegalaxy19]

Wait that’s kinda dark 🧍‍♀️

[@JO_studios199]

Sounds like a job for Michael Vick

[@domidium]

And...Disney wanted to make Cruella SYMPATHETIC??!!

[@fightingfaerie]

@@domidium yeah I don't get why they tried to give her a reason for hating dalmatians. She doesn't hate dalmatians, she couldn't care less. She just decided she wanted the puppies to make a coat, because she's a sick bastard. Even Starkid's Twisted couldn't redeem her, lol. "I only a coat made out of puppies!" "Who would do that?? What is wrong with you?"

[@memyselfandi7782]

[@llamas9321]

Actually vets do rub puppies to get them to breathe if they puppies are not moving/making sounds yet.

[@chelseyhenkes8685]

Oh, and another fun fact: Dodie Smith, the book's author, wrote it after someone (I think it was a friend or neighbor of hers) took one look at her dalmatian dog and commented that it would make a good coat. Not joking.

[@fictionaldarling]

... suddenly i need to see the friend's reaction to the book & the movies 😂

[@littlesparrow303]

It was the author’s friend who said it

[@chelseyhenkes8685]

@@littlesparrow303 Ah, I knew it was one or the other. Thanks!

[@Jemini4228]

One thing I love about this movie is how equal the relationship is between Pongo and Perdita. It would have been so typical to have a story where he was all like "no my love! I shall go fetch our children from the clutches of the Devil Woman!" and goes on the journey to save them while it periodically cuts back to her sighing at the window as the snow falls. There is no question though. She's their mama. Of course she's going to go on the mission with Daddy! "it's up to us" not "it's up to me". Also Nanny is amazing and I love her. This film was deffo one of my faves as a kid. I agree with you that the art style is gorgeous. :)

[@a.g.demada5263]

Yes, they're really in this together. In France, Pongo is voiced by Roger Carel, a guy who was considered as the boss of Disney french voice act (he was behind a lit of Disney characterseven Mickey). I saw an interview where he explains he used his real voice for Pongo

[@estelaoliveira4886]

i remember watching this as kid, and cruella scared my ass of, that scene when her eyes get red... that is not for a five years old to see. But emma's Cruella does anything but scare me, i love her so much

[@kingkong9892]

Yeah that's my 1 problem with emmas cruella. Shes not scary. They should have made us understand where shes coming from but still be evil

[@BrianNIL]

I really see Emma's Cruella as a character inspired by the original, but not the same character. By the end of Cruella, she's certainly not as evil as this Cruella, and her ultimate act really is more about justice than evil. I guess we'll see how it plays out in the sequel! Incidentally, "Emma's" real name is Emily, but the name Emily Stone was already taken lol

[@hplexicon]

Childhood is being afraid of Cruella Adulthood is realizing she's funny as heck

[@mariapazgonzalezlesme]

I loved how all the farm animals helped the dalmatians.

[@VerchielxKanda]

If the little Scottie dog looked familiar to you, his design was used in the Lady And The Tramp. =) Seargeant Tibbs is such a top-tier character. He risked his life for a bunch of kids that are usually a cat's mortal enemy. I love him so much!

[@ajpreclaro1608]

This hand drawn animation style is my fave. And I think for things to go full circle, it would be so cool if you reacted to the 90s Glenn Close version of 101 Dalmatians. I love that version so much I forget that Roger was a musician in the original. I’ll always think of him as a video game developer

[@a.g.demada5263]

I prefer the live action too even if the animated has a particular place in my heart because Pongo's voice actor (in France) was the boss of the french voice act.

[@jeffthompson9622]

I was taken to this at the theater as a child. A drive-in. They were much more common then.

I like these older Disney films that were made in the 60s/70s because they are just so simple. They tell cute, fun stories and have a great art style without trying too hard to be a phenomenal blockbuster. This one and Robin Hood are my favorites❤️

[@BryanWhite-zr5mq]

robinh hood and this are the goats for me, still have the hairs stand up when i see cruella in orange eye mode at the age of 35

[@CCZor]

Classic Disney animation is what got me into art and wanting to get into animation (last part didn't turned out like that). I did a Disney animation marathon last year, before that the last time I saw this movie should been a VHS in 1994.

[@Titan-nb8rc]

Therapist: Name the first thing that comes to mind when I say a word Therapist: Dog Cruella: coat

[@AmusinglySaunters]

16:33 the reason for this is in early Disney movies ( the ones Walt was alive for and more) were about the art of animation first then plot second.

[@123rockfan]

Couldn’t disagree more, movies like Pinocchio and Bambi were all about story and character, along with amazing animation.

[@visualartsbyjr2464]

Going to date myself here, but I watched this in the cinema upon a rerelease as a wee kid in the 70s. I found it interesting even back then how Cruella’s cigarettes had a sickly green smoke while Roger’s pipe smoke was a translucent white.

[@kirbywilliamson2942]

This particular depiction is my favorite villain. The image, the voice, the despicable actions. CRUELLA has got it all in 101 Dalmatians. Sadly even her sense of style is reprehensible. I love it all. As a child, and even as an adult she is perfectly evil.

[@jennifermadden6]

You should check out the live-action version with Glenn Close too. I always loved watching both versions, the original and the first live-action. The animals don't talk in it but it was still fun seeing all the animals.

[@petrastedman669]

She might have already seen it, but if she hasn't, I am here for the reaction video!

[@wattsink2009]

Fun Fact: They made models of all the cars and shot live-action footage of them, which the animators traced and colored to match the rest of the animation. That’s why their movement looks so detailed and solid, particularly during the car chase at the end!

[@wattsink2009]

Fun Fact: This was the first Disney movie that they used the then-new Xerox process to directly transfer the artist’s pencil drawings onto the animation cels. This is why the outlines are all black, and look more “sketchy” compared to previous Disney films. They continued to use this process for all their animated films, up to The Little Mermaid (1989). After that, using the CAPS software to digitally color the animation took over, starting with The Rescuers Down Under (1990) and has continued to this day.

This is such a great story of community 👏. Also Sargent Tibbs is MVP

[@Cantmakeupmymindonaname]

You looked like you were going to mention it but then didn't, the scotty dog (and i thought i saw a hound) were used in the "lady and the tramp" movie ❤ Also the "long short film" is fairly accurate it was still earlie enough that they were testing how they could do longer film, but keep small kids attention as they did with snow white (first feature film but which wasnt that long considering our movies now)

Have you seen the 1996 live-action 101 Dalmatians? That one has the craziest Cruella DeVil of all (played by Glen Close)! It also stars Jeff Daniels and Hugh Laurie, and was produced and written by Home Alone creator, John Hughes!

[@wattsink2009]

If a Dalmatian covered itself in soot, maybe it could pass for a Greyhound, but they are WAY too big for anyone to think they look like a Labrador!

[@donferoce5652]

Dad trained Labrador Retreivers so I've seen a lot of them. The breeds are within an inch or so in average height, male Dalmatians are usually much lighter at the low end but within a few pounds at the upper weight. Dalmation females are much lighter Labrador females. We had a Labrador/Chespeake mix named Lobo that weighed 90 pounds!

[@yousefkaldany2779]

Nice drink, Jess. I don’t care if this Zevia tea tastes like Capri Sun, I’ll still drink it anyway because I like both Zevia and tea. Also, you gotta watch Big Shot with John Stamos on Disney Plus, I think it would be a great show for you to make videos on

[@Psycopathicus]

I think the idea was that Cruella bought all the other puppies - Pongo and Perdita's fifteen were the only ones she had stolen. So no one is going to be looking for them, and if Roger and Anita want to keep them, that's OK. (Well, technically, it's theft from Cruella, but would anyone scold them for it? I think not.) If you'd like to watch an older Disney film that IS exciting, might I suggest reacting to 'The Great Mouse Detective', if you haven't seen it? That's a proper adventure story, and one of the best the studio's ever made, in my opinion.

[@patriciacooney8591]

Actually the rubbing is a pretty accurate technique to stimulate the breathing reflects in new born puppies or make em cough up the fluids or bits of placenta from the moms womb (it was either one of these things I can't remember) but it is not that far fetched 😊

Hopefully you watch the 101 Dalmatian live action and the 102 Dalmatian sequel live action. I believe the movie Cruella (2021 version) is the Cruella who likes dogs so it's like an alternate universe version of the animation and live action, that I believe off.

When a puppy is Born the mother will lick or rub the puppy's back in order to trigger it's breathing response. so Roger was not only rubbing warned into the puppy but also trying to make it breathe I'm surprised he knows how to do that 😐🤔

[@toddsmitts]

Funny how you mention the animation, because I remember reading somewhere that around this film, Disney started reducing the quality of its animation to cut costs. Look at the animation in, say, Snow White or Fantasia vs. this or Robin Hood.

[@danielled168]

SEQUEL MAYBE PLOT (for Cruella): What if like Roger was convinced by the Baroness because he used to work for her that that was actually a dalmatian coat and dragged Anita into it because he knows that Anita is kinda Cruella's bestie so he tricked her into marrying him but Cruella came over to look at the dogs to base her fashion on them so she made a fur coat out of fake fur but then Roger thinks its real and Anita thinks Cruella betrayed her by skinning her dogs when the dogs were just there to play with their dogs. Also, they got another dalmatian and they had a baby because they thought just one dalmatian would be lonely. Also, Cruella makes her own fashion line with all kinds of different fashion and Artie helps.

[@madelinebogle7475]

You NEED to see the aristocats! The art style is similar and I think you will LOVE how colorful it is! It's about a family of cats (Just Dutchess and her kittens) who belong to a wealthy woman. The woman is elderly and the butler overhears her drafting her will where she will be leaving everything to the cats. He abandons said cats during a storm and the movie is all about them trying to get home, traveling through rural France to get back to Paris.. with the help of one very dashing fellow
