Welcome to another episode of Mental Health Multiverse: A podcast where we mindfully break down your pop culture favs and discuss them through the lens of self care, mental health, and personal development.
This week on MHM we are talking about Cruella De Vil from HB’s favorite Disney movie of all time, 101 Dalmatians.
Surprisingly, this movie wasn’t in LB’s rotation much as a kid but HB was obsessed with both the animated 1961 film and the 1996 Live Action remake.
So, what makes Cruella a great villain?
Questions, themes, and topics we touch on include:
Cruella’s backstory and motivations
Her iconic character design
Differences among the different 101 Dalmatian adaptations including the book the movies are based on and the 2021 Cruella live action film
What is canon for Cruella and what is speculation/a twisted tale
Where do we rank Cruella in our bracket of Disney villains
