Born Brilliant, Born Bad... Everything You Need To Know About Cruella!
Oh, there's nothing quite like a good origins story! A chance to really dig a little deeper into amazing characters, really find out what makes them tick and importantly... why!
With the Disney fandom eagerly awaiting the release of the upcoming Craig Gillespie directed 'Cruella' starring Emma Stone, we thought we would give you the low down on what all the fuss is about and why it's making our ears stand to attention. Let's go!
So, it's a remake?
Totally not! Think more of a Maleficent movie but in the 101 Dalmatians world, an origin story that will really dive into the past of Cruella, everything she's been through, who she is and really... WHY she is who she is.
What's it all about?
