![]() ![]() ![]() In order to get past Cruella and her goons to reach the van that will take them back to London, the dalmatians all disguise themselves as Labradors. In a way, there's the climax of the movie leading up to the infamous chase scene.Perdita: She's a devil! A witch! Oh what do we do? Patch: (frightened) Horace and Jasper were going to pop us off a-a-and skin us! Sergeant Tibbs: (to Colonel) That's right Sir! Dog skin coats! Unnamed Female Dalmatian Puppy: (frightened) She's going to make coats out of us! Perdita: What on earth would she want with so many? When the Great Dane arrives at the park and leads Pongo and Perdita on where to go to locate their puppies:.Just minding his own business, making a delivery to London, when all of a sudden, he's attacked by a "crazy woman driver" trying to run him off the road for reasons he can only guess at. You got to feel bad for the driver of the truck.Or, in this case, a Badun who has no sense of driving. All Pongo and Perdita can do is keep their puppies from falling out over the cliffside and hope for a miracle. There are no seatbelts or restraints, so everyone is in danger of injuries from the jostling. The climax has a big one imagine you're in a truck as a stowaway, with your kids, and the woman trying to kill them keeps ramming the truck to knock it off the road.If the collie hadn't arrived when he did, they'd have lost at least a few puppies. ![]() Pongo and Perdita trudging through the snow completely lost while the children are slowly freezing to death and all they can do is keep going.Perdita jumps in after Pongo and she begins swimming but the scene cuts to back before the audience can see her and Pongo make it to the other side. They're freezing but they're not giving up. Pongo and Perdita jumping and swimming through frigid cold river water trying to get to their puppies.The realization that the puppies are found at the De Vil place suddenly jumps the scale of Pongo and Perdita's rescue of the puppies. The idea of having your children (or pets) kidnapped is bad enough, but imagine them being kidnapped by an insane Serial Killer who wants to wear their skin.The kidnapping of the puppies is very much presented as if it was Roger's and Anita's children who were taken as well as Pongo and Perdita's.After they leave and Nanny finds the puppies gone, she runs into the streets calling for help and crying. How Horace and Jasper break into the flat after putting on a Bavarian Fire Drill that fails, they simply charge their way in, having Jasper distract Nanny by locking her up in a room while Horace collects the puppies.Lucky is born unconscious and initially thought to be stillborn only Roger's persistence at CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable saves him.She tearfully tells Pongo that she was so happy before, but now wishes they weren't having any. Perdita's reaction to hearing that Cruella wants her puppies.Perdita: Oh Pongo! It's her! It's that devil woman! Perdita's reaction that The Dreaded Cruella has arrived to their residence for a visit.The many examples of parental worries in the film alone:.Really, it's like she drapes herself in animal fur, because it's the closest thing to human warmth as she can get! She's as close to a lich as you can get without magic. First, there's her slimy and offputting personality, then there's her emaciated and corpse-like appearance. Even before her Sanity Slippage, or revealing her true intentions, Cruella is a Faux Affably Evil wretch of a woman.But are there Ax-Crazy animal abusers out there who take delight in seeing poor little animals getting killed? You bet your biscuits! And no one has good publicity like Gaston. For example, the chances of you coming across an evil queen, a sorcerer, a sea witch or a pirate are slim-to-none. Another thing that should be noted is that Cruella is very unique compared to the other Disney villains as much like Lady Tremaine and Frollo, she is realistic.Take a look at Pongo and Perdita's faces in that split-second before Cruella hits the truck that's not fear, that's terror. She only gets worse throughout the film as she literally goes insane trying to get the puppies and sports a prolific Nightmare Face during the pursuit (pictured above) with the climax being her ramming the back of the delivery truck. She's a walking representation of animal abuse and vanity whose prime focus is to make fashion wear out of animals and is gunning for the puppies of her old school friend. What else can one expect from someone with the words cruel and devil in her name. If she doesn't scare you, no evil thing will.!Considering the whole conflict of the movie is a twisted hag who wants to kill a bunch of dalmatian puppies to make coats out of their hides, you can be certain it has Nightmare Fuel aplenty. ![]()
