Cruella - Film

All these adaptions strip the characters of the the theatricality and campness the original characters benefited from in my opinion.

To me nothing sets this apart from the other adaptions and having just watched Birds of Prey, Cruella and the design looks exactly like it's from that world.

Also I think making Cruella a 'demon' (?) really takes away from the horror of the character.

I know it's an origin story and these follow a typical pattern of saying the villain is just misunderstood.

I also hate the wigs bar the one where she's a mess, some of the costumes in the film look like they've been designed for the older Cruella rather than a young Cruella. From the trailer it looks like they don't strike the right balance between the darker gritty moments and the upper class world she inhabits, but I think the trailer is poor because we don't really get a sense of where the film is going bar some cliched lines about feminism.

So apparently her name is Ella.

Put the cruel in front

Indeed; and given the impact breeding animals for the black market has had on the globe now, possibly a bit raw too.
Not to mention how irrelevant animal fabrics and fur are these days. We don't need fiction glorifying skin suits.

Yes suspension of disbelief and all that but, no time for this. Let have something original Disney, not some spinoff, hacked up side story.

Edit: also 2hrs might be pushing it 

Birds of Prey was fun and in some ways is probably why I wasn’t impressed with this trailer. It looks and sounds very like Birds of Prey.
