Glenn’s Cruella was legendary! She was batshit crazy, evil, and fabulous as hell.

And she dropped this truth:

[richyrich909]

Ain’t that the damn truth!

[nigelwitthebrie]

She is so good when she is good, but she can get a little too campy at times though....probably why she won a couple of razzies

[ginainabottle]

Because the Oscars aren't fair and Satan works 24/7.

Glenn works hard but DE VIL works harder!

Glen Close's Cruella>>>Emma Stone's cheap imitation

I'm gonna rewatch this soon and Glenn is indeed iconic and I loved her, but I liked the new one too ngl!! The costumes were INCREDIBLE.

I enjoyed it but how you gonna take CRUELla DEVIL and not end it with her becoming what she fought against? Unless they want to save it for the sequel.

[la_loony]

Spoil me please, how does it end?

[a_files06]

[Spoiler (click to open)]She succeeds in sending the true villain to jail, laying her past identity to rest, and coming into her inheritance. Then it is revealed that she sends Pongo and Perdita to Anita and Roger

Oh pls to the Ursula origin story. If Disney had guts they would go with the original fucked up version of the Little Mermaid, foam and all!

[januarysix]

i wouldn't call the original version fucked up. the ending is she's happy and becomes like a spirit or "daughter of the air" even though she did not get the guy.

[spankmypirate]

Oh sure, you're right about that. However there are small details about how her feet felt like knives and how drinking the potion felt like swallowing a sword, as well as how she is rejected by the prince and essentially commits suicide at the end (although she becomes a spirit and a chance to gain a soul) that makes it hella dark compared to the Disney version

[richyrich909]

Well damn. 😳
