Disney's explainer for why Cruella doesn't dig Dalmatians is ... kinda weak.
Disney apparently doesn't quite go that far in the movie -- although different reviews say they allude to Stone's Cruella having that idea on her mind. We should also note that the character has a voice-over moment where she explicitly says she doesn't blame Dalmatians, but a lot of folks just aren't buying that ... and are calling Disney's origin rationale lame.
What the studio heads/writers did here is make Dalmatians the fall dog -- when, in reality, they're actually super friendly pooches ... and don't have a rep for attacking like the movie portrays. Folks say it's a cop-out explainer that's lazy and inaccurate. Here's the kicker ... Emma recently suggested Ursula should be the next Disney baddie to get her own standalone movie. As you can imagine, the jokes are already flying ... with many suggesting that if Disney's simply gonna chalk her evil roots up to her hating singing because of some accident that befell her in her youth, it's probs a pass.
