Pongo and perdita cruella movie#
She started the movie by saying she was dead. The question their origin raises, however, is this: Are Pongo and Perdita, brother and sister, in an incestuous relationship? Are all of their puppies-from Lucky to Patch-severely inbred? Unfortunately, it would seem so. Roger and Anita are the young Londoners who, in both Disney versions of 101 Dalmatians, get married and have, via their dogs, an unnaturally large litter of 15 puppies, the same puppies that Cruella later tries to bring together with 86 others to make into winter wear. Why was Cruella’s hair half white from birth? Does she hate Dalmatians or not? And are Pongo and Perdita in an incestuous relationship? We’re here to help you puzzle through the latest developments in the Dalmatians Cinematic Universe.Ĭruella ends with one of the Dalmatians that Cruella has inherited/stolen from her biological mother giving birth to a litter of puppies, two of whom Cruella gifts to Roger (Kayvan Novak) and Anita (Kirby Howell-Baptiste), respectively.

As mocking as the song is, it’s all meant in good fun (for now anyways). After promising to return when the puppies are born (in approximately three weeks), Cruella leaves as abruptly as she arrived and a teasing Roger returns to continue his song. While Cruella has a very one-sided conversation with Anita, Roger plays variations on his song with the piano, a trumpet and a slightly obnoxious trombone (to Cruella’s annoyance she has no idea what Anita sees in Roger).įor some reason, Cruella is fixated on knowing when Perdita’s puppies will arrive (she initially thinks they’ve already been born). Cruella SEEMS nice enough at first, if a little eccentric (she has an unhealthy obsession with furs) but noticeably, Pongo and Perdita react negatively to her presence. Roger takes great delight in performing this number while a slightly anxious Anita tries to hush him up (as Cruella is moments away from stepping through the door). Roger eventually retreats to his music room to continue (literally) banging the song out while Cruella comes through like a fur-lined whirlwind.
“Cruella de Vil” mockingly paints Cruella as this devilish figure that inspires fear and terror wherever she goes. Suddenly, while mulling over Cruella’s name, he realizes its the perfect inspiration for the song! (Cruella de Vil is an obvious play on the words “Cruel Devil”) Roger has spent the last several days working on a new song, but he’s struggled to come up with appropriate lyrics. Some time after their pets marry, Perdita is expecting puppies when an unexpected visitor drops by Cruella de Vil was Anita’s school mate and she has apparently dropped by on occasion in the past (considering Roger recognizes the car when it pulls up). To set up some context, 101 Dalmatians centers on two Dalmatians, Pongo and Perdita and their human “pets”, Roger and Anita Radcliffe (Pongo belonged to Roger and Perdita belonged to Anita before the two married). (The song was composed by Mel Leven and is the major song moment of the film). It is also a villain song that is not actually performed by the villain. “Cruella de Vil” is one of those memorable Disney songs that tends to stick in the brain long after you’ve seen the movie it belongs to.
