Judging from the reactions so far, it looks like Disney’s got a huge hit on their hands.
This is about the dogmurderer lady, right

She wanted to turn Dalmatian puppies into a coat. That's a hard sell, and I'm not buying. Sorry, I'm going to pass on this one. pic.twitter.com/t4TX8xVRwR

Referring to a character famous for wanting to kill puppies and wear their skin as “brilliant” might not be the best idea. But when you’re desperate, you’ll try anything, apparently.
I know, Disney. I know. I'm all out of ideas too 🙁

People sure seem to think Disney’s out of ideas …
Can’t wait for the new Harley Quinn movie!

So Cruella is in a way… the Harley Quinn of Disney at this point??? ?

Who thought turning Cruella into Harley from Suicide Squad was a good idea pic.twitter.com/CCDdten5QD

Forget Harley Quinn … how about the Joker?
So the cruella movie is just a pg Joker right?

Ok, So what? This is like Disney's Joker pic.twitter.com/Bzd7pxV0Rt

Cruella seems like Disney’s answer to Joker. pic.twitter.com/YuZZtemqt8

Disney rewrote the Joker and replaced him with Cruella. https://t.co/EiGg4dE44w

[Disney studio idea meeting]
"We need another live action movie, and I'm thinking Cruella might be a character to explore."
'What kind of backstory can we give a woman who loved to kill puppies for their fur?'
[Person runs into the meeting]
"Have you guys seen the Joker?"
— Josh Jordan (@NumbersMuncher) February 17, 2021
(1) This is just a Disney-fied retread of the first JOKER trailer. (Which was a great trailer, so I guess . . . good job?)
(2) Nice call-back to the 101 DALMATIONS car chase.
(3) What about this trailer grabs the viewer who doesn't already know who Cruella is? https://t.co/KK49nx3rBP

You know, if “Cruella” really is reminding people of “Joker” …
Watching the Cruella de Vil trailer, one can't help but worry about the possible violence perpetrated by white women that my come from it. Glorifying an archetypical wh*te w*man who murders puppies. Lot of danger here to consider. Theaters might even consider safety precautions.

You can’t be too careful!
I'm just not sure we need a sympathetic take on puppy murdering psychopath. Especially a white one right now.
