In a world where a majority if not all Disney remakes have been bad (one exception being The Jungle Book) Cruella's announcement was not something I was looking forward to. However, after a really good trailer I regained my investment, and I'm ever grateful. Cruella is an artful balance of remake, prequel, reimagining. That has great direction from Craig Gillespie and even better performances from Thompson and Stone both of which continually prove their talents, with Stone being a great Cruella. Paul Walter Houser and Joel Fry also steal the show with their excellent performances. The beautiful costumes, great cinematography, and willingness to take a chance may mean these Disney remakes aren't going anywhere, but if they're more like this I wouldn't mind one bit.
