![]() There's a sequence earlier in Cruella where Emma Stone's character takes to a fashion runway in an outfit that looks like it was made from dalmatian fur. While it's far too early to guess if Cruella could get a sequel, if such a thing were to happen, it would basically just be another live-action 101 Dalmatians, right? Not so fast. Is Cruella Really A 101 Dalmatians Prequel?įrom the earliest days of the announcement that Cruella de Vil was going to get an origin story movie, right through to the tease in the mid-credits sequence, there's a strong indication that Cruella is designed not only as an origin story for the 101 Dalmatians villain, but as a prequel to that film. Even if you have't seen the animated 101 Dalmatians in a long time, you can probably guess that these puppies will grow up and Roger and Anita, who never cross paths in Cruella, are destined to meet and get married and Pongo and Perdita are going to become the parents of 15 puppies, and eventually meet a great deal more.Īs the mid-credits scene ends we see Roger, sitting down at his piano, and considering the woman that just gave him a puppy, he beings to sing a song, all about Cruella de Vil. Anita gets a female named Perdita, and Roger is given a male named Pongo. Anita Darling, a former school friend of Estella/Cruella who, as a professional journalist had helped promote Cruella's rise in the fashion industry, and Roger, the Baroness' fired lawyer, who we learn earlier is a better than average piano player, both receive packages sent by Cruella.īoth packages are basically the same, each one receives a dalmatian puppy from Cruella. In a mid-credits sequence we see two other characters from the film. ![]() However, once Cruella de Vil has taken her place at the top of the fashion world, and has everything she ever wanted, and quite a bit she never dreamed of, the story isn't quite over yet. How The Cruella Mid-Credits Scene Fits In John, the Baroness' former valet, who had been the one to save Cruella as an infant, now works for her, and even The Baroness' three somewhat vicious Dalmatians, belong to her. Helman Hall, rechristened Hell Hall, now belongs to Cruella. Cruella has Estella's birth certificate, proving she was the Baroness' daughter, and with some new paperwork willing all of Estella's worldly possessions to Cruella, now Cruella becomes the beneficiary of everything that Baroness once owned. While it appears to all that Estella has died, she had designed her clothing to include a parachute, allowing her to survive the fall that otherwise would have killed her.Īt this point Estella is dead and Cruella returns from the dead. Jasper, Horace, and Artie also get everybody at the ball to go outside, so that when Estella reveals that she knows everything The Baroness has done, and who The Baroness really is to her, it pushes Baroness to repeat the performance and push Estella off a cliff, with hundreds of witnesses. ![]() As an origin story, one would expect that Cruella is about explaining how the character became the one we know from 101 Dalmatians, but for all that to make sense, you have to understand how Cruella wraps up, so here's what happens. To see how this all leads into 101 Dalmatians, if it does at all, we need to take a look at the Cruella ending.Ĭruella is set in the 1970s and sees a young woman named Estella transition from a life of petty crime to a life in the fashion industry, and also crime. Just who was Cruella de Vil and how did she become the kidnapper of spotted dogs that we all know? The new Emma Stone movie attempts to answer those questions, sort of. However, rather than being a straight remake, like The Lion King or Aladdin, a sequel like Dumbo, or even a complete reimagining like Maleficent, Cruella is the first in the series to tell a complete origin story. Cruella is the newest entry in Disney's highly successful franchise turning its previous animated classics into live-action features.
