Things Only Adults Notice In Cruella
Jul 25, 2026
The animated "One Hundred and One Dalmatians" was a big hit for Disney back in 1961, but who would've guessed that it would spawn not one, not two, but three live-action franchise adaptations? "Cruella," a prequel starring Emma Stone as Cruella de Vil, follows "102 Dalmatians" from 2000, which features Glenn Close as Cruella. Unlike the doggy-centric live-action movies that preceded it, however, "Cruella" is rated PG-13, and has a more grown-up sensibility; it's more "The Devil Wears Prada" than "Frozen." So some thematic elements will likely go over the heads of younger viewers. Here are a few things only adults notice in "Cruella."
