I love Cruella in OUAT so much. It's such a nice change of pace for the show. It feels a need to make every single villain redeemable or at very least makes us understand why they turned out the way they did. And then Cruella comes out like "Nah, I just like killing people."
Yes thank you! I absolutely love Cruella in this show. It's really the performance from Victoria Smurfit. She's so effing great! Though Regina is still my favorite character in the show lol.
That is a lie. Clearly you did not watch episode 19 of this season where we see her backstory. She was locked in an attic by her mother for several years who treated her horribly. That is what turned her bad because the entire time before she killed her mother she was fine and did nothing wrong.
When she put the coat on and said "They are with mother now..." THAT was just so cold and devious and how casual she says it......just WOW. Well done ONCE UPON A TIME! Cruella was amazing here!
@@lauragalvez7011 Well not really a series, Dodie Smith only wrote 2 books related to 101 Dalmatians The Dalmatian obsessed author was just living her life when one or her friends made a weird comment about how great they’d be as a coat and this inspired her to create the character of Cruella De’Vil Story wise it’s not much different from the movie we know and love The sequel (known as starlight barking) however is the weirdest fucking story anyone ever wrote.
I love how they tricked us to think the whole series that everyone is evil for a reason, but with Cruella they’re just like no. She’s just fucking crazy😂

@@Waffles705 Yeah, some one already beat you to it to correct me, but thanks anyway. Thats sad. I was really hoping she wasn't one of those born to be bad types, but oh well.
Cruella: some people struggle not to be drawn into the darkness...ever since i was a little girl I've said... why not splash in ...and have fun So Cruella's happy Ending is killing people, now that's what i called Evil because she enjoys it!
franny fel I don't think Cruella would know what a happy ending was if it hit her in the face. Some say that she wanted the author dead as her happy ending, but I think she is completely trapped in the darkness of own her mind, she wouldn't know what happiness is. She embraced the eternal darkness where there is no light, no redemption, no way out to even see the light. Her heart is completely black, unlike Rumple who still has that tiny fraction of red still beating for Belle.
+JessicaKween actually I don't think she came from 'Our World', its a world we can observe from maybe? it seems to be too fantasy ish to be from ours maybe its like a pararel world.
MistarZtv Yeah it's Like Frankenstein's world, or Alice Cruella's world is a timeless realm, where time stands still, people age but it says like 1930 London forever.
World Without Color is a different realm. Alice and Cruella seem to be from the same realm, but I think time isn't floating on Alice's realm I believe. I remember we were in 1904 and 1912 England.
"Well, thanks to you, she's dead, darling!" Somehow, Cruella manages be even creepier when she looks normal. Something about the lightning flashing behind her as she stares at Isaac with those cold, empty eyes just sends chills up my spine. Victoria Smurfitt's naturally pale skin and cheekbones certainly help. 😄
Victoria, like Lana, is very good at managing to persuade us that she’s younger in flashback scenes just through a change of wardrobe/makeup. So good 😍
@@DMovieman Yep, instead disney turned Cruella into an anti hero kind of like what they did to Maleficent. But at least Maleficent was decent, Cruella the movie was terrible like her reasoning for hating Dalmatians was so lazy. Just because they killed her adoptive mother. If disney made Cruella like OUAT (she was born evil and psycho as shown in OUAT), it would've been very good since the setting and costumes were pretty good but instead we got this antihero Cruella.
she is the villain who didn't have a reason to be evil. she was born one. and what's more terrifying than a bloodthirsty psychopath? isaac did the right thing of taking what she loved the most. killing. i loved her character, but for someone as me, who likes a little blood and gore, she terrifies the shit out of me.
(Cruella 2021 spoilers) OUAT Cruella: Kills her mother with the dogs and then makes a fur coat on the next scene Cruella 2021: “Oh this coat? Fake fur. Oh also I’m trying to be Joker so I’m the one who has to face my mother. Also no dogs were harmed mwahahaha!” Man, that moment when OUAT had more balls 😂
I absolutely loved Cruella's character here. One of my fav OUAT episodes. Her beauty, mannerisns, and mind were all just a perfect backdrop to her vile cunning nature❤🤍🖤
Crazy thing is out of the three queens of darkness…the one with arguably the least magical power turned out to be the one who was most evil and least redeemable
You're right, it's a huge irony that a human who wasn't magical and only had a magic cigarette (Cruella) turned out to be more evil than 2 magical beings (an former mermaid with tentacles (Ursula) and a draconic fairy (Maleficent) who even though those 2 were evil, they redeemed themselves)
Once Upon A Time's Cruella is an iconic villain and the coat she made is beautiful ignoring the fact that it's made of dogs. Cruella's actress is absoulutly Incredible hope to see her in a Disney movie she is super talented love her so muçh
I loved her character so much though i wish they expanded her magic abilities. Told us how she escaped her realm where time stood still how she enchanted her car when her magic only controlled animals and why she never bothered to learn any new skills with the magic she stole from maleficent child to expand her human life great actress i feel like they left so much unexplored with the character
Well now there's a movie about here since maleficent was coming last decade I realized there's is more to the movies real orgin story than 8n once upon a time
That half- season may have done a rather poor job with Ursula, but they made up for it tenfold with how they handled Cruella! I always viewed her in the past as rather ridiculous compared to other Disney villains, but here, hoo boy! They made her genuinely terrifying. Her story in this episode unfolds like a well- done horror film.
Well, when your name means cruel devil in a world where magic is real, that really kind of limits your options. What if her parents had decided to call her Angela Goodwin? Would she have turned into a preachy saint who always defeats evil?
Uh yeah but unless she changed it to a more meaningful name, her last name is still Vil and her heritage from a wealthy family gives her the part Vil and of course, her mother named her Cruella. And she probably shouldn’t had
Honestly, this backstory is what I wanted for the Cruella Live Action movie. A real wicked evil vilain that make coats with puppies skins. But they wanted to turn her into a antihero with vegan coats so that the public likes the character despite her “evilness”. The result ? We prefer much more this evil and psychopath version of OUAT 🔥 Thanks Victoria Smurfit, you were AMAZING ❤
Maybe he send her in the enchanted forest since in this realm she is just like stock in dark ages time so she can't do nothing except play with animals and survive like the monster she is.
Yeah I would keep them. I think that as her mother used them as control element for her she ended up hating them too and killed them as a revenge for all those years of suffering. And well she is a psychopath who enjoys killing, but I as we have seen the dogs in the episode where she mets the other queens I supposed that they were the same dogs it was a surprise a nasty for me that she skinned them :( And also we supposed to believe that she killed her father, but they didn't explain the motives.
+Milla Meiman Yep, but how did she made a coat so quickly wil be forever a mistery for me. And also her mother saying ''now tha your dad is not here...'' before locking her out made me think that her dad loved her and maybe tried to change her while her mother understood her evil nature. So why not murder her mother first? Unleast the dad was no so kind to her either...
+LifeInPink999 cruella didn't care and she said she enjoys killing she is a psychopath heck her name is cruella de vile with a name like that her parents were asking her to be evil.
+JessicaKween how does that make sense, how does rumple have any way of summoning or bringing people from the land without magic if that's why he went to the lengths of trying to find the dark curse and manipulate countless people to get there in the first place
They never made it clear in the show but since Issac's car is magical and can travel through realms and Cruella stole it from him, I'm guessing she used the car to explore different realms and that's what led her to the Enchanted Forest
I love Cruella in OUAT so much. It's such a nice change of pace for the show. It feels a need to make every single villain redeemable or at very least makes us understand why they turned out the way they did. And then Cruella comes out like "Nah, I just like killing people."

@@devontehuntley6274 no she killed her father and her two other husbands before that so her mother locked her up so she didn’t kill anyone again
@@Moonlightwolf008 Oh, well okay then. I need to go back and rewatch that. I thought the mother killed the father and the two other husbands.
When she put the coat on and said "They are with mother now..." THAT was just so cold and devious and how casual she says it......just WOW. Well done ONCE UPON A TIME! Cruella was amazing here!
Well, I have certainly to admire her manual skills; she killed, skinned, washed, sewed in a wonderful coat two dogs in like... half night? O.O
When in the book she had her husband do that
And in the movies she had to hire people to do it
@@sdm47 she whot 😱??... I didn't know it (the 101 dalmatians films) was based on a book series
@@lauragalvez7011
Well not really a series, Dodie Smith only wrote 2 books related to 101 Dalmatians
The Dalmatian obsessed author was just living her life when one or her friends made a weird comment about how great they’d be as a coat and this inspired her to create the character of Cruella De’Vil

This is still better than the disney live action remake
honestly the disney cruella wasn't much of a villain
There is such thing as different interpretations of a character
@@harleyquinn3346you mean butchering a character?
"Why not splash in... And have fun"
God that gave me shivers down my spine and goosebumps up my arms
So basically the story of Cruella is that.....she's insane
We don’t want anything else for Cruella De-Vil
Well she does skin puppies
@@annieandelsieofarendelle3294Also humans. When she met Mordred in the underworld she literally begged him to be skinned by her.
Man, I know that its made of dead dogs, but that coat looks SO comfortable.
Micah Goldson yeah it really does
it may look comfy but it would make anyone look like an animal killer :/
"You horrid little scribbler!" That's so something the original Cruella De Vil from 1961's 101 Dalmatians would say!
What did he scribble out?
@@hellskitchenkritterandfrie3372 Cruella cannot kill

Inicialmente en ambos casos creí q eran otras actrices interpretando a Regina y Cruella jóvenes😅
1:48 so that's how Cruella got her iconic black and white hair
Cruella was still in her 30s
I needed to come back to this after watching Disney’s Cruella. THIS is what that movie should have been.
EXACTLY! I still remember how creepy and compelling this take on Cruella was, and the new film totally failed to capture that.
@@DMovieman Yep, instead disney turned Cruella into an anti hero kind of like what they did to Maleficent.

This is also what Jauquin Pheonix's Joker should have been
It kinda was psycho mother psycho daughter there are a lot of similarities
People can take characters in different directions. You know this right?
I wasn't sure about her character in the beginning, but this origin story was awesome
If only ''Cruella''' would've had the guts to have Cruella be like this.
Oh god I dont mean to sound like a psychopathic animal killer but that is one beautiful coat!!
Bolin Dai I agree if only it wasn't made of dogs .
I agree
Right!???
I mean yall wear leather
@@queenofcrazy4962 but other animals? 😂
she is the villain who didn't have a reason to be evil. she was born one.
and what's more terrifying than a bloodthirsty psychopath?
isaac did the right thing of taking what she loved the most.
killing.
i loved her character, but for someone as me, who likes a little blood and gore, she terrifies the shit out of me.
“I only wished to have a coat made out of puppies!”
*”WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?”*
Man, just the idea that the worst thing in the world for Cruella is not being able to kill is just... Man, this was such a good episode XDDD
(Cruella 2021 spoilers)
OUAT Cruella: Kills her mother with the dogs and then makes a fur coat on the next scene

Man, that moment when OUAT had more balls 😂
See Disney, THIS is how you do a Cruella backstory.
I'm surprised they didn't ask Victoria to be Cruella in the new live-action
Not being afraid to show a villain kill dogs
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
God Victoria Smurfit is amazing.
yes. she's so beautiful. 😍
And talented.
+Sarah “Inkweaver” Young Absolutly. she's perfect. 💕
Have you seen her in NBC's Dracula from 2013? She was fabulous in that, too.

Still my most favorite Cruella. Even after the movie.
The women who played her did such an amazing job!
That is the amazing Victoria Smurfit who (in my opinion) was an even better Cruella than Glenn Close
She played her so well. " They're with mother now"
I loved her character so much though i wish they expanded her magic abilities.
Told us how she escaped her realm where time stood still how she enchanted her car when her magic only controlled animals and why she never bothered to learn any new skills with the magic she stole from maleficent child to expand her human life great actress i feel like they left so much unexplored with the character
The Cruella story was the best origin villain One by faaar!
Well now there's a movie about here since maleficent was coming last decade I realized there's is more to the movies real orgin story than 8n once upon a time
Emma stone’s Cruella is my favorite but this version comes in close second. The actress was perfectly scary but funny at times too

I always viewed her in the past as rather ridiculous compared to other Disney villains, but here, hoo boy! They made her genuinely terrifying. Her story in this episode unfolds like a well- done horror film.
Interesting how her voice changes after getting the magic ink spilled on her. 1:46
damn cruella is gorgeous underneath the character hair and makeup

One of my favorite scenes in the entire series.
I love out of all the OUAT villains, she’s the embodiment of pure evil with no remorse
Well, she finally got her spotted coat
I feel so stupid for just now realizing that Cruella’s voice changed because she accidentally ingested the magic ink
She is MESSED up in SO many levels. 😱
0:52 Jesus christ...she actually fucking did it :O
Once Upon a Time wasn't afraid to go all dark with their version of Cruella. And it was one of the best decisions they've ever made
okay, we got the back-story of what happened to Cruella, but what i wanna know is how the heck did she get to the enchanted forest?
Yeah I have no clue
I think Rumple sommoned her as he did for the other two queenss but it's just a supposition, they didn't show it :(
Federico D'Elia
Maybe he send her in the enchanted forest since in this realm she is just like stock in dark ages time so she can't do nothing except play with animals and survive like the monster she is.
I wish, Cruella comes back to once upon a time. :(
Same.... but Emma.. killed her...
She was the PERFECT villian
Well, she's back! ^_^
+Jenny de Rayne I know someone already commenting saying she's back, but I have a better way of saying it.
Well, she's back, darling!
I know. ^^ *****
And then next season in the underworld...
mesmerizing acting of hers!
Victoria Smurfit is quite the actor
She is the only one that gives me the chills
Well, damn. I think that this is the only time where we actually see Cruella get her Dalmatian-skin coat!
One of Once Upon a Time's best decisions is that they weren't afraid to go all dark with their version of Cruella De Vil
I LOVE CRUELLA!!!! My favorite character and the only one who was truly born evil, not made. 😈😈😈🖤🖤🖤
this one of the best sotyline of all the serie

The Cruella teaser trailer brought me here!! 😍😍😍🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
The fact she calls him insane just proves that she’s insane
She looked like a young Glenn Close, good job Once Upon a Time. ❤️
I was shock when I saw the Dalmatian coat
Earl John Diawatan I internally whimpered like a puppy when I saw it.
+Earl John Diawatan (AnimeBrother16) i almost friggin cried when i saw it....i was like "WTF she killed them???"
I never thought they made the Dalmation Coat. Because in the movies that has Cruella's Goal. Now she got it.
When she whip out that coat and said they are with mother now that gave gossbups
Cruella:you damend insane fool
Me:um hello have you seen yourself
For me, Cruella's only flaw in OUAT is her inability to kill someone. This is so crude...
Looks like Cruella finally got her Dalmatian fur coat
The only story where cruella actually kills the dogs.
Cruella's happy ending is to be able to kill people again. She's so damn insane and evil and I love her
Cruella is real life Meryl Streep!
This scene was awesome
2:02 Cruella de vil: Drop That You Horrid Scribbler!
Disney has the greatest villains I mean the greatest dammit
Yeah, not really...
Cruella looks so hot with blonde hair
And that's how Cruella deville didn't get Her happy ending
Behold the birth of Cruella de vil
Imagine Carlos de vil finding out his mom killed his grandparents
Just as shocking as finding out your mum was gonna be your grandmothers step mum
Once upon a time canon is different from descendants canon
She made that big coat with just two dogs?
Well those were grown adult Dalmatians and not puppies like in the animated film
She finally got her Dalmatian fur coat
No not the dogs? And how did she skinned them and made a coat so quick??? But I still love her.
Yeah I would keep them. I think that as her mother used them as control element for her she ended up hating them too and killed them as a revenge for all those years of suffering. And well she is a psychopath who enjoys killing, but I as we have seen the dogs in the episode where she mets the other queens I supposed that they were the same dogs it was a surprise a nasty for me that she skinned them :(
And also we supposed to believe that she killed her father, but they didn't explain the motives.
+LifeInPink999 She killed her dad because she could, that's how she works.
+Milla Meiman Yep, but how did she made a coat so quickly wil be forever a mistery for me. And also her mother saying ''now tha your dad is not here...'' before locking her out made me think that her dad loved her and maybe tried to change her while her mother understood her evil nature. So why not murder her mother first? Unleast the dad was no so kind to her either...
+LifeInPink999 cruella didn't care and she said she enjoys killing she is a psychopath heck her name is cruella de vile with a name like that her parents were asking her to be evil.
if I was Isaac I would run the moment she wore that coat
Me too but I'm glad he was able to prevent her from killing anybody else. Who knows how many lives he saved
I love cruella de vil she is my favorite character in Disney.
so she never needed 101 Dalmatians to make the coat? only 3 mature dogs can do the trick lol.
Such a goddess.
So I think they either messed up their timelines or something because this had to be before Cruella got to the enchanted forest right?
POV you´re here from the new Cruella movie trailer
same
She gives Rhoda Penmark vibes yeah
Cruella is the only exception to the rule that evil isint born in once apon a time and it was episode 19
so these once a upon a times are like Back storys to the disney villians and princess's
sky gaming Yeah but the show makes their own version with a little twist added in
Cruella looks gud with black n white hair
Cruella De vil is born

Cruella De'vils is the best😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
she made sure that she couldn't kill anyone
What exactly did the ink do to her ? Did it reveal her true nature or something ?
She was my fave villain. She was evil just because she is. No sappy background story. Pure evil.
There need to be more villains like this. Not every bad guy’s got a sob story - sometimes, they’re just crazy
Can someone exsplain what the writer did for cruella not being able to pull the trigger
His pen has the power to manipulate reality. Therefore, when he wrote "Cruella can't kill.", it became reality.
in a piece of paper he wrote with a magic quill and ink : cruella can not harm a person(or something like that).
If the mother took her to the hospital or prison when she had the chance, she could have lived
Hey guys, I missed some of these episodes and as we know Cruella was born and raised in this world so how did she get to the enchanted forest? Thanks
+JessicaKween how does that make sense, how does rumple have any way of summoning or bringing people from the land without magic if that's why he went to the lengths of trying to find the dark curse and manipulate countless people to get there in the first place
Cruella isn’t from the real world she’s from a realm where it was stuck in the 1940s
They never made it clear in the show but since Issac's car is magical and can travel through realms and Cruella stole it from him, I'm guessing she used the car to explore different realms and that's what led her to the Enchanted Forest
My teacher Ms. Rotundi looks like her.
