Cruella De Vil And 10 Interesting Fun Facts You May Never Heard Of

The legendary animation "101 Dalmatians" has been embedded in the consciousness of many people, including myself. Aside from brave, smart dogs overcoming obstacles to reunite, Cruella was the supporting character and female villain who most impressed me.
Cruella de Vil has long been regarded as one of Disney's evilest creatures. She ranks ahead of Freddy Krueger and the Joker on the American Film Institute's ranking of the 100 Greatest Heroes and Villains. “Cruella De Vil, Cruella De Vil, if she doesn’t scare you, no evil thing will.”- a famous line in her own anthem, which is featured in the animated version of 101 "Dalmatians". Her defining feature is that she is so obsessed with dalmatian fur that she is prepared to abduct a litter of pups in the hopes of skinning them. She's characterized as having one half of her hair white and the other black, a strong dislike for pepper, and a penchant for elevated temperatures.
However, there are many hidden stories about this famous villain. On the occasion of Disney's release of the film for the character Cruella, it's great to discover some interesting details about this character.
