Cruella De Vil: The Reformed Villain Who Saved Dogs’ Lives

The Disney character Cruella De Vil is known for her villainous behavior, especially when it comes to her plans to skin puppies in order to make a coat. However, in the new Cruella movie, this plan is thankfully put to rest and no puppies (or any animals for that matter) are harmed.

The 2021 version of Cruella, starring Emma Stone as the titular character follos a younger version of the villainess. This time, we get to see her life before she became a dog-hating criminal mastermind. We follow Cruella from her childhood up to her adult years as she struggles with fitting into society and rising up against those who have wronged her.

In this movie, Cruella doesn’t kill or skin any Dalmatians at all. Instead, she manages to train them to obey her commands instead of those of her archnemesis, the Baroness. In the end she ends up with the Baroness’s Dalmatians – unharmed and happy – demonstrating how far she has come since becoming a villainess.

This new take on Cruella has been widely praised by animal rights activists, who have long objected to Disney’s portrayal of their beloved character as someone who would harm animals for personal gain or pleasure. Thankfully, this new film puts an end to that perception and shows us a more compassionate side of Cruella – one where animals are treated with kindness and understanding rather than cruelty and disdain.

Overall, the new version of Cruella is a huge improvement over her previous version; not only does she not kill or skin any dogs in this film but we get to see her grow into an individual who can show compassion towards animals as well as people. Hopefully this will be a trend that continues in future Disney movies so that everyone can enjoy these stories without worrying about animal welfare issues.

The Cruel Actions of Cruella Towards Dogs

In the 2021 live-action film, Cruella does not kill or skin any dogs. Instead, she uses her skills in animal training to convince the Baroness’s Dalmatians to follow her commands instead of their owner’s. This leads to Cruella gaining ownership of the Dalmatians at the end of the movie. Throughout the film, Cruella is shown as a patient and kind dog trainer who cares for animals deeply and successfully gets them to obey her commands.

Are Animals Harmed in the Movie Cruella?

No, absolutely not. In Cruella, animals are not harmed in any way. All the animal characters in the film are portrayed as being happy and content. They are shown playing together and interacting with one another in a positive and friendly manner. Furthermore, none of the animal characters suffer any kind of physical injury or harm during the course of the story. Similarly, any animal that is seen in a particular scene is treated with respect and care, ensuring their safety and wellbeing at all times. In short, no animals are harmed during Cruella at all.

The Motivation Behind Cruella’s Desires to Skin Puppies

Cruella’s motive is to acquire the soft, fine fur of puppies for use in the fur fashion industry. Puppies have coats that are much softer and finer than those of older dogs, making them more desirable in the market. As puppies age, teir fur grows coarser and less desirable to those looking to buy high-end furs. Therefore, Cruella seeks out puppies specifically because she hopes to gain access to their soft, luxurious fur. This is why she has her henchmen kidnap puppies for her—so that she can skin them for their fur and make a profit from selling it in the fashion industry.

The Reason Behind Cruella Giving a Dog to Anita

Cruella gave the puppies to Anita as a token of appreciation and gratitude for her help in obtaining the diamonds and thwarting the plans of her enemies. She had come to recognize that these innocent puppies were not material possessions, but living, breathing creatures deserving of love and respect. Anita’s unconditional kindness, demonstrated through her work with the animals at the shelter, confirmed Cruella’s newfound understanding that these dogs had real value in their own right. By giving them to Anita, Cruella was both acknowledging their worth and expressing her own gratitude for Anita’s help.

The Impact of Cruella on the Dogs

No, Cruella does not hurt any of the dogs in the movie. Although she initially expresses a desire to kill them and make them into a fur coat, this is shown to be more of a joke than anything else. In fact, throughout the course of the movie, Cruella goes out of her way to protect the puppies from harm and even makes a faux fur version of the coat instead. She even reconciles with the dogs at the end of the film and they all live happily ever after.

Did Real Dogs Appear in the Movie Cruella?

Yes, real dogs were used in Cruella. The film features a mixture of real and digitally depicted canines. Several dogs, including Dalmatians, made appearances throughout the film. While there weren’t as many real dogs as in the other two adaptions of the story, the production team was able to bring the dogs to life with a combination of real and computer-generated animals.

Is Buddy a Real Dog in Disney’s Cruella?

Yes, Buddy is a real dog in Cruella. He is portrayed by Bobby, a stray dog who was adopted after the production of the film. The bond between Buddy and Emma Stone’s character, Cruella, is quite evident throughout the movie, and their relationship is further emphasized in the scene where Buddy unties Cruella from her restraints–an impressive feat that was accomplished by Bobby himself on set!

Conclusion

In conclusion, Cruella does not kill any dogs in the film. Rather, she is able to train the Dalmatians to follow her commands rather than those of her enemy. Through her creative and innovative approach, she is able to gain ownership of the Baroness’s Dalmatians without harming any animal at all. As such, this film serves as an example of how it is possible to find a peaceful and humane solution to a problem without causing harm to any living creature.
