Giving him the ability to make even good movies sound terrible, or, in this case, make terrible sounding movies sound so bad you actually question your regard for the human species and life as we know it.
Movie Executive Guy's backstory is that his dad died in an airplane accident because the wing was screwed into the plan too loosely. This traumatized him so much he became obsessed with things that are tight.
"So why did Estella become so evil and want to skin puppies?" Well when she was little, a Dalmatian did a backflip, kicked her mother down a cliff and saved the day. BOW WOW WOW WOW WOW
"When I said drown the puppies, I meant feed them with lots of nutritious food to improve their fur. I'm glad I took those puppies away from the dog hoarders. Thats borderline dog abuse." - revisionist Cruella
"And when I said poison them I meant give them vitamin enhanced water to improve their health so they grow bigger and stronger." "And when I said bash them in the head... I meant bash them in the head when they're older with bigger coats. I want that dalmatian fur coat I'm not so impatient that I can't wait for the puppies to grow into adults".
Weren't most of the 101 Dalmatians from different families? And when they couldn't reunite them with their owners at the end Anita and Roger just adopted all of them?
In the original book, 101 Dalmatians, Cruella was given an origin story. She was the last member of an extremely eccentric aristocratic family and she met Pongo and Perdita's owners in school. her hair was originally black and green, and she was the popular kid in school. An unnamed family tragedy happened, and her green hair turned white from the shock. Her Dad died of health problems, and her mom committed suicide, I think. Also, in the book, Cruella de Vil was her birth name and she had very poor taste in both clothes and furniture.
@@PurpleMoonFlute yeah, that story would've been so fun to watch from the pov of the female owner (can't remember her name) in a Great Gatsby fashion.
This is a better movie than "Maleficent". Sadly, I do not think it will make as much money. Partly because Angelina Jolie is ... well, Angelina Jolie, and partly because of the people making sourpuss comments on this video.
@@jordimelis4463 Maleficent is an okay movie, the problem is that in order to make Maleficent herself look good, it had to make every other character look bad, which is made even worse when you have knowledge of the original movie. And unlike Wicked and Once Upon A Time where the bad guy is still the bad guy, Maleficent is seen as the good guy. It was supposed to be the same story but from a different perspective, but really it was a completely different story and characters with borrowed elements from the original.
They say why maleficent is different. That was the "real" telling of the story. It was good tho. Cruella on the other hand is AMAZING but it needs another moviebto explain why she would want to hurt dogs. They changed her whole character. But the movie is one of disneys best if you just look at it as its own thing.
@@souless88 Exactly. I believe that they just borrowed the names of the characters for safety that this movie would do well. It is nit really a remake though. It is a completely different story.
This "Pitch meeting" concept is honestly the biggest bottomless gold mine for you. I don't see your success decreasing at all until Hollywood stops using 1st year film students to write and film these multi million dollar massive movies. Keep the dream alive buddy. I watch every video.
The sad thing it, it's probably NOT 1st year film students writing the movies. It's people who have been doing the job for so long that no one wants to tell them "this idea is terrible. Stop". Not that they'd listen anyway. The execs at disney also likely don't really care either. :(
@@AegixDrakan exactly! I WISH Disney would hire film students. They prefer to keep the same overpaid old writers that keep failing them, like JJ Abrams with Star Wars.
"I don't see your success decreasing at all until Hollywood stops using 1st year film students to write and film these multi million dollar massive movies." Actually, even then it'll be super easy. Barely an inconvenience.
Remember when Cruella wanted to skin dalmations because she had just about every other fur jacket she could think of? IF you do then you know more about the character than the director and writer did.
It' not that they didnt knon about the character. They changed her character because of noflake and parent ho wouldnt want their kids to watch a movie about a truly evil woman that harm pet. Would have been rated PG13 minimum nowadays haha
An origin story that acts like a redemption arc, except without the redemption. We just pre-sweep the evil under the rug and pretend it's not gonna happen.
Yup. And the main character is utterly irredeemable but the writers are just going to go for it, anyway. They're like an army of Ralph Wiggums saying, "I'm a genius 'cause I did a twist!"
The movie was actually a ton of fun. It's Screenrant's job to make fun of movies. So, anything they do a Pitch Meeting of is going to sound bad. But, it was far, far more enjoyable than Mulan, and for me, a lot better than the Last Dragon.
@Bitty it's not really a villain origin story really, she bears no grudge towards the dogs and doesn't become a villain. It really is like an alternate reality version of the character, which is fine, cause it's a fun movie.
@@TotallyHuman Raul Julia says it playing M Bison in the Street Fighter movie. Widely considered to be the only decent piece of acting in an otherwise infamously 'so bad it's good' film (obviously not the Dalmatians part of the quote)
@@Ad-xb7hk I actually thought the movie looked really good from the trailers, but it wasn't about Cruella DeVille, and I'm not going to watch it when it tries to claim that's what it's about
@@AbjectPermanence so the origin story works better as long as we think of the main character as a completely different character she will eventually will become. I can't see any problems with that
@@AbjectPermanence You'd think that maybe the writers would realize that this movie shouldn't be made then if the only way it works is if you just not think of the as that character. They're suppose to be the same person not separate people.
@@aakash0134 Agreed. I went in with a bit of hope (after having seen Th3Birdman's quick-reaction to it), but not much tbh, not after Mulan. I did enjoy it quite a lot.
Some asshole's gonna take advantage of this "villain had a rough childhood" trend and create Adolf: Origins of a Struggling Artist. Then this trend will die, and we can all go back to normal entertainment again.
There actually is a real life fabric that burns quickly like that, it's called flash cotton. Though it doesn't burn nearly that clean, and create a ton of smoke lol
@Justin Williams You sound very confident for someone who doesn't "really" know. Look up the words 'flash cotton' on the internet. It seems like your work experience of ten years wasn't very enlightening. Movies and fiction in general tend to take some liberty. We are talking about a movie where a girl is born with perfectly parted black and white hair and Dalmatians kill a woman with a jump kick in the face. If Cruella's whole point was in being dramatic and she was such a good designer/seamstress, who's to say she didn't manage to conjure an entire overlay dress from flash cotton? Stop asking people to not run their mouth. They'll run damn well whatever they like
I imagine the real pitch meeting for this film was two Disney executives flushing money down toilets, and one of them suddenly turned to the other and said, "Maybe there's a better way to do this."
This was really 4 movies in one. Starts as Little Orphan Anne, than becomes Devil Wears Prada, followed by just a splash of Oceans 11 and ends with Joker.
Gotta be honest, I was just expecting the screenwriter to say "so dalmations pushed Cruella De Vil's mom off a cliff-" and then six minutes of laughter from the producer
“So you have a movie for me?” “Yes sir i do, it’s Time: Origins: The Beginning” “Nice” “So in the beginning there was darkness, but then there was light...” “Oooo spooky, who turned on the lights?” “GOD” “Oh oh my god” “Exactly”
Is it gonna be hard for this God character to make these things? No, it's going to be super easy! Barely an inconvenience!! And on top of all that, he's going to make people too, and tell them not to eat of the Tree of knowledge! But they do anyways, damning humanity! Whoops! Whoopsie!
Maleficent wasn't an origin story though, it was a retelling. It was never supposed to end the same, just to show a similar story from Maleficent's point of view where true love's kiss isn't just some rando you met in the woods. I wish they'd just made that kind of movie, but they haven't made a retelling in a while. Only cashgrabs.
The thing is, this is perhaps Disney’s best live action prequel/remake. The Cruella name feels stapled on for brand recognition BUT regardless of that, it’s still a pretty good movie. It’s like if Tim Burton directed The Devil Wears Prada and set it during the 60s and 70s.
"Why make the Cruella origin movie if she's not going to turn into the Cruella that people know?" "Because name recognition will make people want the movie and therefore minimize your studio's risk in investing millions into this project." "That's a good point! I love it!"
Actually, in the book 101 dalmations, pongo is married to Missis, and when she has 15 puppies, they get a surragote mother to help her feed them milk, and that mother is perdita.
@Karsielatee Watkins can't agree that it works, the characters are as interesting as a sack of potatoes, not to mention you really can't lable it as an origin movie, in that regard it literally makes no sense unless cruella is schizophrenic
@@toot7642 shh people don't like their critique, we youngsters are now snowflakes generation for a reason for weak morals despite being more educated and having access to internet's wealth of information Total myriad of failures we are.
Lmao! But this way, we can keep up the idea that anyone can dress like a badass without ever having to actually do anything badass! Just like putting leather and spikes on pop stars. They banked so much cash from everyone wanting to dress like evil Maleficent, but made it super convenient for them because the character never got her hands dirty.
"I'm a little disturbed to know that Perdita and Pongo were related..." Man, that's gonna be difficult to forget.. My brain: Actually it'll be super easy barely an inconvenience!
Thing is, it could have worked! Just don't even try to make her sympathetic beyond the fact that she's opposing someone slightly worse than her, and make it a full-on black comedy.
What movie tickets? All of the recent movies are streaming now. He only started Pitch Meeting like three years back. So probably COVID has saved you more on movie tickets than anything else will.
I'm confused as to why you people don't understand what flash Paper, flash cotton, and flash string are. They have been around for decades and used in magic tricks constantly. How do you think magicians do it, actual magic?
Buzzing to see the origin story of Clayton about a fateful trip to the zoo in which cost his mother her life at the hands of a gorilla because she wore a yellow dress and it mistook her for a banana.
I enjoyed Solo. MY big gripe is that it treats hyperspace fuel as this elusive substance. It wasn't. Solo is the only time that's been the case. Also that Kessel is no longer a drug hub, but a fuel hub. Legends did explain Han's backstory, a lot of it. The new canon has every right to try to make a good backstory, and overall I think they did a good job aside from fundamentally changing and damaging how the setting works to avoid showing Han as a drug smuggler.
No way. Han acting like: "Oh I have no family, so i guess my last name is solo" is boring and uncreativ. That Estellas mother came up with the idea, to call her child Cruella whenever she is rude and starts fighting was way more creativ.
@@Divine1Right well they're often firehouse dogs right? Bear with me here, but maybe just maybe those dogs intentionally start fires to keep their owners in business.
They didn't! She literally doesn't blame them at any point! It's a different story! A different Cruella- You know what, I'm tired. Whatever. Make up what you will.
@@infjelphabasupporter8416 the main reason I said that is they are clearly trying to make Cruella De Ville, someone who's name literally is from the term "cruel devil", a sympathetic villain.
"Why does the Baroness not notice Estella is Cruella?" "Because Estella wears glasses, and Cruella does not" "Will that work?" "It worked for Superman and Captain Amazing"
Still, how can she not remember the ONLY person in the world with half black hair and half white hair? That's so rare, you'd think she'd remember her for that alone. I didn't see the movie, but that makes the Superman glasses seem realistic in comparison.
It's been a near-continuous stream of twist villains since - what? Monsters Inc? EDIT: Looked it up and I guess it's actually since Atlantis just before that. Admittedly, some were done much better than others, but it has become predictable. Certainly we are far from the days of "Face me and all the powers of Hell!"
Ironically, if they wanted to portray a new version of Frollo, who is more complex and occasionally has sympathetic/redeemable moments, while still being an evil villain at the end, they could easily pull from Victor Hugo’s original novel. Then again, with modern Disney being the way it is, they seem to rarely think of the actual potential in their hands. They would rather cobble together something quick and shallow, like the joke premise you came up with.
@@markcobuzzi826 The stage musical adaptation of the musical actually went this way and explained Frollo's hate for gypsies so much in the very first song. It doesn't justify his wrongdoings, but it does explain things a bit better than the movie
@@araw_buwan I saw the musical you are talking about, which I recall being produced in La Jolla, Papermill, etc. and also taking notes from Alan Menken’s German “Der Glöckner von Notre Dame” version. While I wish it incorporated even more details from Victor Hugo’s novel and have mixed feelings about the changes it made to Frollo’s backstory, that musical version is probably the closest we will get.
From the sounds of things, he also never has attractions to anyone and would certainly not be aggressive in any kind of lustful nature towards people. He also makes his own orphanage where kids aren't drowned in public wells
This sounds like something "Crazed Writer" would write in her fanfictions "Back to the Frollo" and "What really happened", in which a modern day african american Mary Sue goes back in time to f*ck Frollo
This is definitely an alternate reality to the original animated movie. In fact, this prequel, which as mentioned by Ryan takes place in 1970s London, takes place 2 decades after the original movie, which takes place in the 1950s.
Cutie pies it is about a little boy named Ian and his family. They find a tank with gas and they mistakenly eat it the gas so then they wake up with superpowers. This is not Spider-Man. Ian says that his dad‘s name is Ian too so then they all go on a big adventure, then they just become the cutie pies.
It wasn't that reason in the film. The Dalmations were trained dogs, that were ordered to kill her 'mother', and were owned by her arch nemesis Emma's character. She wanted to make a statement in the ongoing fashion battle as she had kidnapped the dogs in the film before the coat unveiling.

This just makes me look forward to the Little Mermaid remake where Ursula is a black woman who slept with white guy Triton. Who is sadly banished when Triton's white wife learns of the affair. Then little interracial Ariel shows up on his doorstep nine months later and only after his wife suffers a horrible fishing boat accident explaining why Triton became a dictator over the seas and hates all men living on the surface. Just the men, cause women have lady parts and he's totally onboard with that. Meanwhile Ariel grows up being looked down upon by all her half-sisters even though she's better than them at absolutely everything and is only aided by a gay Flounder and a still Jamaican crab named Sebastian (because continuity) who support her non-existent character growth.
@@melissalonla Because those are the kinds of movies Disney has been making as of late. Even now, when I read my own comment I have to remind myself that I was being sarcastic and not actually pitching the next Disney film.
Are we about to get a sympathetic villain universe? Where Maleficent, Cruella, and more will eventually have to team up against all the real bad guys, the 50 Prince Charmings?
you haven't seen Once Upon a Time then? It's kinda a little like that. They flip and revise a lot of characters. So that some baddies are good, some good guys are bad, and everything in between. It's actually a good show though, I liked how they twisted the characters in unexpected ways.
They realized they had lots of Characters in Franchises they already own, which get no attention and there for make no money. So instead of coming up with something new, and creative, which is a risk. They simply keep beating their dead horses for as long as people pay to see it.
Didn't they do that a few years ago? It had Chris Pine and Oprah, and nobody went to see it but the trailer had a creepy cover of "Sweet Dreams" by Eurythmics?
Omg it would make a great april fools day video to do a pitch meeting for an iconic classic with little flaws and have stuido director guy be super confused the whole time that screenwriter guy is pitching him a masterpiece haha.
"Cruella DeVille's mom was murdered by dalmations?" That was the point where I realized that not only was this a movie that I don't have to see, it was a movie that I need to go back in time and stop from existing because it is an absolute insult to human intelligence.
I think stopping this from existing may have overtaken assassinating Hitler on my list of 'Things to do with a Time Machine'. P.S. That last Terminator movie is also on the list.

She was the last member of an extremely eccentric aristocratic family and she met Pongo and Perdita's owners in school. her hair was originally black and green, and she was the popular kid in school. An unnamed family tragedy happened, and her green hair turned white from the shock. Her Dad died of health problems, and her mom committed suicide, I think. Also, in the book, Cruella de Vil was her birth name and she had very poor taste in both clothes and furniture.
Fascinating. I knew none of that.
That is like a hundred times more interesting than the story in this movie lol

"Okay, well why make Cruella's origin movie if she's not gonna turn into the Cruella that people know?"
Because Maleficent made over $750 million.
This is a better movie than "Maleficent". Sadly, I do not think it will make as much money. Partly because Angelina Jolie is ... well, Angelina Jolie, and partly because of the people making sourpuss comments on this video.
Weird, "Cruella" looks awful and nonsensical but I heard Maleficent is actually not bad.
@@jordimelis4463 Maleficent is an okay movie, the problem is that in order to make Maleficent herself look good, it had to make every other character look bad, which is made even worse when you have knowledge of the original movie. And unlike Wicked and Once Upon A Time where the bad guy is still the bad guy, Maleficent is seen as the good guy. It was supposed to be the same story but from a different perspective, but really it was a completely different story and characters with borrowed elements from the original.
They say why maleficent is different. That was the "real" telling of the story. It was good tho. Cruella on the other hand is AMAZING but it needs another moviebto explain why she would want to hurt dogs. They changed her whole character. But the movie is one of disneys best if you just look at it as its own thing.
@@souless88 Exactly. I believe that they just borrowed the names of the characters for safety that this movie would do well. It is nit really a remake though. It is a completely different story.

The sad thing it, it's probably NOT 1st year film students writing the movies. It's people who have been doing the job for so long that no one wants to tell them "this idea is terrible. Stop". Not that they'd listen anyway.

@Justin Williams You sound very confident for someone who doesn't "really" know. Look up the words 'flash cotton' on the internet. It seems like your work experience of ten years wasn't very enlightening. Movies and fiction in general tend to take some liberty. We are talking about a movie where a girl is born with perfectly parted black and white hair and Dalmatians kill a woman with a jump kick in the face. If Cruella's whole point was in being dramatic and she was such a good designer/seamstress, who's to say she didn't manage to conjure an entire overlay dress from flash cotton? Stop asking people to not run their mouth. They'll run damn well whatever they like

Maleficent wasn't an origin story though, it was a retelling. It was never supposed to end the same, just to show a similar story from Maleficent's point of view where true love's kiss isn't just some rando you met in the woods.
I wish they'd just made that kind of movie, but they haven't made a retelling in a while. Only cashgrabs.
Love seems like the wrong word... but I get your point.
The thing is, this is perhaps Disney’s best live action prequel/remake. The Cruella name feels stapled on for brand recognition BUT regardless of that, it’s still a pretty good movie. It’s like if Tim Burton directed The Devil Wears Prada and set it during the 60s and 70s.
Disney's logic: Hire actresses so beautiful that even if they play as villain, you will love them and root for them.
Only if you are a simp, though.
We are so, so lucky that Hitler wasn't a sexy lady in her prime, or half the world you still be "rooting for her".

That Estellas mother came up with the idea, to call her child Cruella whenever she is rude and starts fighting was way more creativ.

Remember back when Disney villains were just evil?
It's been a near-continuous stream of twist villains since - what? Monsters Inc?

@@blazingtimeblazer9004 so Frollo minus the powers?
Yeah, it was pretty two-dimensional wasn’t it?
@@AdamSmith75th yeah but at least they did 2d good.
Claude Frollo's Tragic Origin Story: His parents were murdered by a disfigured orphan and a gypsy looked at him the wrong way.
Ironically, if they wanted to portray a new version of Frollo, who is more complex and occasionally has sympathetic/redeemable moments, while still being an evil villain at the end, they could easily pull from Victor Hugo’s original novel. Then again, with modern Disney being the way it is, they seem to rarely think of the actual potential in their hands. They would rather cobble together something quick and shallow, like the joke premise you came up with.
@@markcobuzzi826 The stage musical adaptation of the musical actually went this way and explained Frollo's hate for gypsies so much in the very first song. It doesn't justify his wrongdoings, but it does explain things a bit better than the movie
@@araw_buwan
I saw the musical you are talking about, which I recall being produced in La Jolla, Papermill, etc. and also taking notes from Alan Menken’s German “Der Glöckner von Notre Dame” version. While I wish it incorporated even more details from Victor Hugo’s novel and have mixed feelings about the changes it made to Frollo’s backstory, that musical version is probably the closest we will get.
From the sounds of things, he also never has attractions to anyone and would certainly not be aggressive in any kind of lustful nature towards people. He also makes his own orphanage where kids aren't drowned in public wells
This sounds like something "Crazed Writer" would write in her fanfictions "Back to the Frollo" and "What really happened", in which a modern day african american Mary Sue goes back in time to f*ck Frollo
This is definitely an alternate reality to the original animated movie. In fact, this prequel, which as mentioned by Ryan takes place in 1970s London, takes place 2 decades after the original movie, which takes place in the 1950s.
Cutie pies it is about a little boy named Ian and his family. They find a tank with gas and they mistakenly eat it the gas so then they wake up with superpowers. This is not Spider-Man.

Why would she want to wear a coat that constantly reminds her of the creatures that killed her mom?
I suppose as a trophy but that also doesn't make sense she doesn't use those dogs.
Because...
That works
It wasn't that reason in the film. The Dalmations were trained dogs, that were ordered to kill her 'mother', and were owned by her arch nemesis Emma's character. She wanted to make a statement in the ongoing fashion battle as she had kidnapped the dogs in the film before the coat unveiling.
The same reason why some cultures cut the ears or scalp off of their enemies or eat their hearts.
Because it was a person that killed her mom, and no point in this film did she ever blame the dogs.
“Yeah how she became the kinda person to skin puppies” makes sense
"Because name recognition will make people want to come watch the movie and therefore minimize your studio's risk of investing millions of dollars into this project"
Summarizing every Disney-related project of the past 10 years
Except Luca
That's happening to films as a whole.
What about stuff like Wreck-It-Ralph (2012), Moana (2016) and Zootopia (also 2016)?
@@delagarzabrothers2525 with few exceptions i guess
@@delagarzabrothers2525 Those are the exception that proves the rule, and as a rule Disney wants reliable money makers. They remember Fantasia and Black Cauldron, and that is what their nightmares are made of
“So you have a relentless evil villain who wants to sport the skins of dead puppies as clothing to glorify and praise as misunderstood?”
“Yes sir I do!”
“Wow wow wow wow wow-“
Disney: "Have you ever seen what the tragic backstory of one of our most vile and hated villains was?"
Literally Everyone: "No."
Disney: *"Would you like to?"*
Ummm, No. I'd rather not
@@rajarshisantra8203 Disney: TO BAD
I prefer not to.
You know Ursula's next. Old Ursula is played by Kathy Bates, then it flashes back to young Ursula played by Amy Schumer.
@@bretterry8356 God, I threw up in my mouth. Thanks for that image.
This just makes me look forward to the Little Mermaid remake where Ursula is a black woman who slept with white guy Triton. Who is sadly banished when Triton's white wife learns of the affair. Then little interracial Ariel shows up on his doorstep nine months later and only after his wife suffers a horrible fishing boat accident explaining why Triton became a dictator over the seas and hates all men living on the surface. Just the men, cause women have lady parts and he's totally onboard with that. Meanwhile Ariel grows up being looked down upon by all her half-sisters even though she's better than them at absolutely everything and is only aided by a gay Flounder and a still Jamaican crab named Sebastian (because continuity) who support her non-existent character growth.
when shows like RWBY make more sense than DISNEY, you KNOW something is wrong with the world
Why does that actually sound like something they do
@@melissalonla Because those are the kinds of movies Disney has been making as of late. Even now, when I read my own comment I have to remind myself that I was being sarcastic and not actually pitching the next Disney film.
@@arkisenn9895 especially the gay Flounder
@@eren34558 RWBY?
Are we about to get a sympathetic villain universe? Where Maleficent, Cruella, and more will eventually have to team up against all the real bad guys, the 50 Prince Charmings?
you haven't seen Once Upon a Time then?
It's kinda a little like that. They flip and revise a lot of characters. So that some baddies are good, some good guys are bad, and everything in between. It's actually a good show though, I liked how they twisted the characters in unexpected ways.
Of course!
Everyone knows males are the TRUE villains and women are only "misunderstood" 🤢
Shrek?
They realized they had lots of Characters in Franchises they already own, which get no attention and there for make no money.
So instead of coming up with something new, and creative, which is a risk. They simply keep beating their dead horses for as long as people pay to see it.
Look up the song "Twisted" by Starkid. That's all you need.
I can’t help but love that Producer Guy has just given up and approves every movie script Screenwriter Guy writes (:
Lol..
"They say time is a cruel mistress."
"So we should probably do an origin movie about time itself!"
Didn't they do that a few years ago? It had Chris Pine and Oprah, and nobody went to see it but the trailer had a creepy cover of "Sweet Dreams" by Eurythmics?
Making a Cruella pitch meeting before making a 101 Dalmatians pitch meeting is tight.
Can we get an emperors new groove pitch meeting as well?
Not before we do a pitch meeting for Kronk's New Groove xD
that would be cool
But not before the sympathetic Yzma origin story movie.
But there's nothing bad to say about Emperor's New Groove.
Omg it would make a great april fools day video to do a pitch meeting for an iconic classic with little flaws and have stuido director guy be super confused the whole time that screenwriter guy is pitching him a masterpiece haha.
"Cruella DeVille's mom was murdered by dalmations?"
That was the point where I realized that not only was this a movie that I don't have to see, it was a movie that I need to go back in time and stop from existing because it is an absolute insult to human intelligence.
Dude chill 🤣😂😂
While you're at it, could you tell Sarah Connor not to go to the beach?
I think stopping this from existing may have overtaken assassinating Hitler on my list of 'Things to do with a Time Machine'.
P.S. That last Terminator movie is also on the list.
@@antiochus87 What's wrong with T2?
Careful. It could be like Tenet where you realize that you yourself created this movie in the first place.
Disney execs: "Cruella has to be sympathetic."
Lone Voice of Reason: "Her backstory is she wants to kill and skin puppies and turn them into a suit! There is literally nothing you can do to make someone like that sympathetic."
Disney execs: "But she has to be sympathetic! Also, you're fired."
Disney execs: "Cruella has to be sympathetic."
Lone Voice of Reason: "Her backstory is she wants to kill and skin puppies and turn them into a suit! There is literally nothing you can do to make someone like that sympathetic."
Disney execs: "Just make her hot. That'll do the trick."
Once Upon a Time did a good job in its Cruella origins episode
@@matityaloran9157 Not that much,IMO,but at least _that_ Cruella was actually _cruel_ unlike this one!;-P
@@Nicamon What’s also true is after Once Upon a Time gave every fairy tale villain a sympathetic origin story with its own villain who later got a sympathetic origin story it was an excellent plot twist that Cruella was that evil all along and she had just fooled us in the audience the same way she fooled Isaac Heller
@@matityaloran9157 Yyyeeaaahh,the concept was cool,but the execution was done very poorly,IMO. Since we didn't get much backstory with Kid Cruella(she has no real name and not even a Storybrook name?Seriously???😓She goes around"the real world"dressed like a COSPLAYER and with a DeVil car and no one bats an eye???🤦♂)and the kid actress didn't seem that great at acting either,her being a psychopath the whole time came out of nowhere and didn't seem _that_ believable to me. It felt like 1 of those twists you put at the last minute only for the sake of having a twist and not because it _actually_ makes sense with the continuity of the story....
I love Writer Guy's complete and utter shock at the thought of Cruella skinning Dalmatian puppies.
Remember when everybody was speculating that this movie was going to be as complex as Joker? But now Cruella's mother was killed by dalmatians?
People shouldn't have expected so much from Disney.
Who in their right mind had anything even _resembling_ good expectations for this movie? The closest I can remember was a single tweet from some random blue checkmark that said that was the case, and even _that_ got ratio'd to all hell.
@@electricbayonet2
Because it was PG-13...
@@2goodsharks I didn't expect, I just hoped they'd try better given the critical responses to previous live action Disney and/or villain movies...... yeah.
"the Dalmatian did kinda a drop kick move" - and that's me crying with laughter for the next 5 mins
Then they did a backflip and snapped the bad guys neck and saved the day
I love screen rant...but I swear "Pitch meeting" is genius. this man is goals! Editing goals!. He's just great,. Pretty much super easy, barely an inconvenience.
