Disney's "Cruella" offers a fresh take on one of the studio's most infamous animated villains. The live-action movie focuses on Cruella de Vil from the "101 Dalmatians" franchise and tells the story of how she became the character audiences have come to know on screen.

The film is set in 1970s London and follows a young woman, Estella (Emma Stone), whose "flair for fashion" earns the attention of Baroness von Hellman, according to the film's official synopsis. But the relationship between the two spurs Estella to "embrace her wicked side" and become the "raucous, fashionable, and revenge-bent" Cruella de Vil.
