When Estella meets up with Horace and Jasper they become family. Estella’s desire to create fashion doesn’t work out to her expectations. At least not for a while. Eventually she is given opportunity to work for a prestige designer and learns things about her own past that do not set well with her.
The first she learns is the location of a family heirloom she
had lost just before meeting up with Horace and Jasper. The Baroness has the family heirloom and
Estella wants it back. She arranges for
Horace and Jasper to steal back her necklace and makes herself the distraction
by shedding her darker personality which her mom had named “Curella”

At the time of the break-in the “distraction” notices that the necklace in question is dangling from the Baroness' neck and removes the necklace as Horace escapes the guards who found him trying to steal from the empty vault. As Jasper tries to escort Cruella away from the Baroness the necklace ends up in the belly one of the baroness’ Dalmatians.
The next day Cruella emerges into more than a
distraction. Cruella wants revenge. She decides to leave Estella behind her and
allows the evil to consume her. Still
wanting the heirloom, she orders Horace and Jasper to kidnap the dogs for the
necklace is bound to come out of one of them at some point. She is so unkind to Jasper and Horace who had
always had her best interest and she them.
She is so consumed with revenge that she doesn’t recognize how her
behavior is wrecking her relationship with them.
I think Jasper and Horace start
giving into her demands out of fear and are no longer comfortable with their
once good relationship. They miss
Estella but Cruella thinks of her former self as a wimp and won’t allow Cruella
to show any sign of compassion. She is
mean.
I love the show. I have seen it several time. I have laughed each time. I laugh more during the "Estella" moments rather than the Cruella parts. And yet I hear opinions and critisms. Granted, I myself wouldn’t recommend it for
children – but there is a lot of humor if you aren’t set out to take the movie
seriously or analyze what each movement represents. Come on, already, people! Why is it that so many Disney movies have
been criticized because of its underlined themes. These movies were created to entertain. And I am definitely entertained when I watch
Cruella.

I love the soundtrack. I love Emma Thompson’s portrayal of the Baroness and Emma Stone as Estella. I
love the humor – especially right now with the world in such a crazy and often
scary time. And to all of those who
criticize this movie I ask, “Before you spent money to see this movie, you were
aware that Cruella is the villain, right?”
