Knowing nothing about what had transpired, Roger can only conclude one logical explanation about where the rest came from. ** It's even funnier when in the end, Pongo and Perdita return home with not only their own puppies, but 84 puppies more. * Pongo practically drunk with happiness upon learning he's just become a father 15 times over. >'''Truck Driver:''' Hey, lady! What in thunder are you tryin' to do? Crazy ]! ** What's great about this part is the fact that he doesn't put up with it, and fights back. ![]() * The Truck Driver that the dogs are hitching a ride from gets exasperated as Cruella DrivesLikeCrazy. *** The Captain used his left back leg to "aim," then dropped it and used his right back leg to "fire," all in the span of about three to four seconds. ** The Captain "fires" by using his back leg to kick Jasper through the barn wall, then does the same thing to Horace. ** Sergeant Tibbs watches quietly from atop Captain's head, and tells the horse to "ready" and "aim." He then gives the signal to "fire" by pulling down Captain's ear like a trigger. All it does is create more confusion.* In a scene that doubles as a MomentOfAwesome, the Suffolk Farm unit hold off Jasper and Horace so the Pongos and all the puppies can get away with a head start, and each one gets their chance to shine: ** The Colonel, who up till now has mostly acted as a bystander due to being a ScatterbrainedSenior, acts courageously by barking menacingly at the two crooks, luring them inside the barn and distracting them so they don't know they're right behind Captain's rear end. Similarly, this creates more issues for 101 Dalmatians, because it's unclear just what conflict arises between them. So why is he singing about how scary and evil Cruella is? The tone of the song does seem a little more playful here, but it's still a peculiar choice, especially as she's just given him a puppy. In Cruella, there is no story reason for Roger to write the song, and the fact that he does so isn't given very much context outside of it being a familiarity. Cruella isn't exactly shown in the best light, but she is more favorable than the Baroness, whom Roger went against, and Roger himself has no firsthand experience of her cruelty. Again, it's a moment that is something of a necessity because of where these characters are headed - and because it's so iconic - but it's unclear exactly why he does it. ![]() ![]() Now working as a songwriter, he pens the classic "Cruella De'Vil" song. It's hard to say whether this will ever filter over into the Cruella sequel, which is in development, but it could strain Jasper and Horace's relationship with their friend to the point of their transition into being solely henchmen.Īs well as getting Pongo, another big part of Roger's 101 Dalmatians story is set up by Cruella's credits scene. Does that mean these two aren't destined to become the put-upon, mistreated henchmen of 101 Dalmatians, or will something further happen - such as a new position of power and/or a misfortune - that more drastically changes Cruella's character and her relationship with the pair? In 101 Dalmatians, Cruella's relationship with them is pretty awful, and they seem to despise her. The relationship does shift as Cruella takes over from Estella and is increasingly driven by revenge, but their friendship is seemingly mended by the end of the movie. The duo takes her in from the streets, forming strong bonds that are tested in Cruella but not broken. ![]() Interestingly enough, many of the typical characteristics of Cruella are given to Emma Thompson's Baroness, who exhibits most of the cruelty Close portrays in the 1996 film.Īnother of Cruella's changes comes with Jasper and Horace, who aren't introduced as her henchmen but instead her friends and co-conspirators. That seemingly puts Cruella in its own timeline or universe instead, but whether that will lead to its own version of 101 Dalmatians remains to be seen. Cruella's post-credits scene introduces Pongo and Perdita as puppies, and since this is the 70s, then sadly, there's no way to make that fit with the Close movies. There are several inconsistencies, such as this Cruella being seemingly unlikely to kill dogs, but in the end, the timeline doesn't work either. Alas, Cruella doesn't really fit in with 101 Dalmatians at all. This was supported by the timelines seemingly matching up - Stone is the right age for her Cruella to become Glenn Close's version in the '90s - and Glenn Close receiving an executive producer credit. Prior to the release of Cruella, there were theories that it would serve as a prequel to 1996's live-action 101 Dalmatians.
