The best Cruella de Vil quotes help cement Cruella de Vil’s iconic character 101 Dalmatians as one of the most despicable Disney villains of all time. Although 101 Dalmatians is remembered as a classic film for the whole family, Cruella is particularly cruel, as she wants to kill many puppies to get a fur coat. She is also a vain and insulting person, which makes her one of the great villains who is so fun to hate. Cruella de Vil’s unforgettable quotes highlight how evil and memorable she is.
With her love of fashion and her eccentric nature, Cruella is certainly a fun character, even when she is quite sadistic. Whether she’s yelling at Horace and Jasper, commenting on the puppies, or making cruel remarks of her own, Cruella doesn’t have much of a filter or control over her anger. While many Disney villains have been more powerful or threatening, Cruella establishes herself as an effective villain simply by proving herself to be a terrible human being.

“No time for games. Where are the little brutes?”
Cruella looks for the puppies
In Cruella’s mind, the the world exists only to provide her with everything she wants. She invades every situation with nothing but unreasonable demands and expectations. This is the case in her first scene, when she enters Anita’s house, ignoring any sense of politeness, and immediately begins looking for the dogs. Not only does she demand the dogs as if she owns them, but she also insults them, even though she knows what she has planned. It’s a quick way to establish yourself as truly obnoxious.
In the long pantheon of Disney villains, there are some who perfectly fit the nefarious and diabolical personality. What’s brilliant about Cruella is that it presents a completely unexpected but effective villain. This high-society smug narcissist who expects the world to bow down to her has only become more relevant with time.

“I’m done with you all. I’ll get revenge. Just wait. You’ll regret it.”
Cruella swears revenge
It’s a common belief that the best villains don’t know they are the villains of the story. When it comes to a woman who wants to skin puppies to make a fur coat, it would seem impossible for her not to understand the villainy in that. However, there is a sense that Cruella has been so spoiled and so used to getting what she wants that she simply thinks she is owed it.
This is the moment when Cruella appears to embrace her true villainy and carry out her evil plan to steal the puppies. When it becomes clear that Anita and Roger will not hand over the puppies willingly, Cruella launches this threatening speech against themswearing revenge. Although Cruella wants the puppies for her fur coat, there is also the possibility that her crimes are partially motivated by her desire to get revenge on Anita and Roger for denying her what she wants.

“Anita, don’t be ridiculous. You can’t afford to keep them. You can hardly afford to feed yourself.”
Cruella laughs at Anita’s lifestyle
While there have been many “eat the rich” films in recent years, it seems that the idea of seeing wealthy members of society get theirs is by no means a modern vision. Cruella is one of the best examples of these types of characters who assume they can wave money around frivolously in a situation and be able to do whatever they want. Cruella decides to attack Anita and her life with Roger when Anita tries to tell Cruella that the puppies are not for sale at any price and the couple intends to keep them.
Cruella says that Roger and Anita don’t even have money to feed themselves, much less for several puppies.
Anita and Roger are not as rich as Cruella, and Cruella immediately tries to demean Anita and manipulate her into selling the puppies. Cruella says that Roger and Anita don’t even have money to feed themselves, much less for several puppies. She sees the rest of the world as beneath her, allowing her to believe that she can bend it to her desires, a clear example of her villainy.

“I know. Roger’s songs. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!”
Cruella insults Roger’s profession
While Cruella and her barbaric plans make her an easy villain to hate, it’s also not hard to understand why she’s so popular. She can be a hilarious character at times, something actress Emma Stone highlighted in her winning performance in Cruellabut the original animated version also has a lot of laughs. One of the funniest aspects of Cruella’s personality is how openly she insults people to their faces without even thinking about it.
Sometimes it’s not even out of anger, but because she likes to express even her cruelest opinions and finds it funny that people aren’t as lucky as her. and. When Anita suggests that she and Roger will get along as they are, Cruella can barely contain herself as she laughs at the idea of them making a living off of Roger’s music. His evil laugh as Roger angrily smokes his pipe is a hilarious moment.

“This horrible little house is the castle of your dreams! And poor Roger is your bold and fearless Sir Galahad!”
Cruella rejoices in her crimes
Roger and Anita live a simple but happy life, and they both care deeply about each other, but Cruella doesn’t see it that way. She chooses to mock Anita and sees Anita as a failure in life because she has not found wealth or prominence. Cruella doesn’t understand how Anita could be happy with her simple existence and instead of keeping it to herself or letting Anita live the life she wants, she chooses to express her opinion of disgust just to try and upset Anita.
There is a clear theme that Anita is happy in her modest life, even in comparison to Cruella’s lavish lifestyle. However, 101 Dalmatians does not suggest that Cruella is unhappy despite her wealth. In fact, it’s pretty clear how much she loves being rich and powerful, happily waving it in everyone’s faces.

“When can puppies leave their mother? Two weeks? Three weeks?
Cruella demands the puppies
Cruella’s plan for the dogs is not only cruel, but she also hardly tries to hide her true intentions in wanting the dogs. It is clear from the beginning of the film that Cruella de Vil does not want Roger and Anita’s puppies so she can take care of them. She is too cold a person to care about another living thing. It’s much more sinister than that, as she wants all the puppies to make fur coats.
This quote is especially cruel because she pesters the couple about when she could buy their puppies. It’s an especially grim demand for her, conspiring to have the cubs taken away moments after they’re born. However, it’s also darkly funny that Cruella is openly impatient to get her hands on the animals when it’s so obvious what her motivations are.

“Congratulations. You just won gold, silver and bronze in the Idiot Olympics!
Cruella insults her henchmen
Cruella spends much of the film giving orders to her two henchmen, Horace and Jasper, who are trying to steal Anita and Roger’s puppies. Unafraid to tell them exactly how she feels, she constantly yells at them for messing up her perfect plan and thinks they are complete idiots.
While the live-action Cruella features the two characters as Cruella’s friends, Glenn Close’s version maintained the trend of the original, with Cruella constantly irritated by the incompetence of her hapless henchmen. This line from the live-action remake also gets a hilarious response, with Horace asking: “Who gets the gold?“
13
“Now go and stay somewhere until I need you.”
Cruella orders people
Cruella is known for being cruel and enjoys everyone she interacts with, giving orders to everyone as if her only purpose in life is to do what she says. She treats everyone as if they are useless and incompetent for not being able to do exactly what she wants. She is seething with rage at every moment and unleashes it on anyone who displeases her in the slightest. Despite being frustrated with the world around her, Cruella never for a moment considers that she might be the problem.
While Cruella certainly has a quick temper and can easily get angry with people, it also shows how she views the world around her.. To Cruella, people are nothing more than servants who do what she asks and get what she needs. They might as well not exist until she used them.
12
“You idiots! You… you idiots! Oh, you imbeciles!”
Cruella is enraged by her defeat
Given what a terrible person she is, is there something deeply pleased to see Cruella’s plans fail and for her to finally receive her punishment. Jasper and Horace hit Cruella’s car from the side, sending the three people to the side of the hill, thus ending the chase for the puppies, who fled to safety. Cruella doesn’t accept the loss easily, as she predictably blames them for everything while sobbing in defeat.
There are other villain defeats in films that deliver more devastating punishment to evil characters, but this is a satisfying ending for Cruella.. Not getting what she wants is rare and she becomes like a spoiled child who has been denied sweets. Although Jasper and Horace are also terrible people, it’s satisfying to see them finally fed up with their boss and telling her to “shut up.”
11
“Oh, what the hell, they’re mutts! No spots! No spots! What a horrible little white mouse!”
Cruella takes a look at the new puppies
It doesn’t take long for Cruella to appear at home after the puppies are born, but upon seeing their appearance she doesn’t try to hide her disappointment.. Cruella is disgusted that the puppies don’t have spots right away. If they don’t look absolutely perfect, they are simply “mongrels” to her. The puppies were newborns, and instead of commenting on how cute they were, Cruella said exactly the opposite.
It’s a sign of Cruella’s Distorted View of Beautyas she is insulting these animals she planned to kill, simply for following their natural path. If Anita and Roger had had any idea what Cruella had planned for the puppies from the beginning, they could have avoided the whole nap incident by simply not informing Cruella that the dogs would end up getting her spots.

“Well now, what do we have here? So they thought they could fool Cruella?”
Cruella looks for the puppies
While Cruella de Vil certainly steals the show as the villain, One Hundred and One Dalmatians is a great Disney film in its own right. One of the best aspects is the intense adventure from the dogs’ point of view, using old spy networks and secret hideouts for the puppy rescue mission. Everything is even more exciting with the determined Cruella on her trail the entire time.
When Cruella finds dog footprints in the snow on the road, she is enchanted by the trail, even though Pongo tried to cover it. She utters the quote, proud of her detective skills and, as always, underestimating the intelligence of the dogs on the run. Although she is not of an imposing size, Cruella is an intimidating villain simply because of how ruthless she is in her evil plan. She hunts the poor little dogs in the snow and seems to recognize that these dogs are doing their best to avoid her.

“In that case, I’ll take them all. The whole litter. Just name your price, darling.”
Cruella tries to make her purchase
It is clear to everyone that Cruella isn’t interested in the puppies because she loves dogs, so her insistence on owning them is immediately suspicious. However, Cruella does not feel the need to be shy, because, in her world, having money gives her the right to whatever she wants. Once she discovers that the puppies will develop their signature spots over time, Cruella is perfectly willing to accept them all. The fact that the answer “no” never occurs to Cruella is very telling.
In a way, Some of the blame may fall on Anita and Roger for not recognizing what Cruella’s obvious plan was from the start. The fact that she was disgusted by the dogs at first sight, only to completely change her mind when she learned that their spotted coat would appear should have immediately raised questions. Add to that Cruella’s penchant for fur, and it’s not a hard case to solve.

“Enough of this nonsense. I’ll pay you double what they’re worth.”
Cruella doesn’t take no for an answer
This Cruella de Vil quote perfectly summarizes some your distorted perspectives on the world. After laughing at the mere idea of Roger supporting his family, she continues trying to buy the puppies and completely disregarding their insistence that they are not for sale. She once again acts as if money is the only thing that matters and she can win any argument for the right price. However, the idea of her paying “double what they’re worth” is also a disturbing glimpse into her psyche, as she thinks living things have a price.
Cruella not only feels that money allows her to do whatever she wants, but she also assumes that everyone else is as callous as she is. She feels that Anita and Roger’s reluctance to part with the new puppies is simply a matter of price rather than love, which says a lot about Cruella herself.

“Why you horrible man… You… You… Alright, keep the little animals I care about! Do whatever you want with them! Drown them!”
Cruella doesn’t take rejection well
Considering what Cruella planned to do with the puppies, this quote from the villain should have served as an indicator of her malicious view of dogs. Roger did well, standing up to her and declaring that she would never get any of the puppies. Cruella, however, is not used to not getting what she wants. and her reaction is quite dark and disturbing in its own right. It’s a childish tantrum she throws, but it also suggests that she feels the dogs’ lives are meaningless if she doesn’t get what she wants from them.
Once again, this quote shows Cruella’s inhumane side, as she cannot understand the type of attachment people could have for other living beings. She is genuinely shocked that Anita and Roger are unwilling to part with the dogs, but even so, she doesn’t seem to understand that they could simply love the dogs and want to take care of them themselves.

“My one true love, darling. I live for fur. I adore fur! After all, is there a woman in this whole wretched world who doesn’t?”
Cruella discusses her only love
Cruella’s love for fur also seems to highlight her hatred for the rest of the world. She always makes fun of Anita’s lifestyle; she doesn’t understand Anita’s appreciation and love for the simple things in life. Anita doesn’t need fur to be happy, and that’s something Cruella would never identify with. It’s really sad that the only thing Cruella truly loves is fur. This shows that it is Cruella who is missing some of the best parts of lifenot Anita.
The materialistic point of view is responsible for its cruelty and cruelty. It’s also another example of Cruella’s indifference to the world and her self-centered outlook. She assumes that every woman in the world also loves fur above all else, simply because that’s her opinion. She obviously didn’t pay attention to the women around her to confirm this assumption in any way.

“Blow up this pen! Blow up this wretched, wretched pen!”
Cruella loses her cool over a pen
Cruella doesn’t have much patience for anything. This includes a pen that doesn’t work right away so she can write a check to Roger and Anita to buy the newborn puppies. Although she is happy writing the check while imagining the fur coat she will make, that happiness immediately disappears when she is faced with this small inconvenience.
The sudden change in mood is so abrupt and violent that it’s hard not to be amused by it.
Cruella may be evil, but it’s moments like this that remind you that she’s also a funny and interesting Disney villain, thanks in large part to the uncontrollable rage she has. The sudden change in mood is so abrupt and violent that it’s hard not to be amused by it. It’s made even funnier by the fact that Cruella swings the pen so much that the ink splatters on Roger, which Cruella either doesn’t notice or simply doesn’t care about.

“Oh, no, no! We’ll find the little mutts if it takes until next Christmas.”
Cruella won’t stop
Another sign of Cruella’s terrible obsession with this coat it’s how she’s not willing to give up, even when the hardened criminals, Horace and Jasper, have reached their breaking point. When they suggest that the dogs are gone and it’s time to admit defeat, Cruella refuses to give up or let them give up. Although this is never explicitly stated in the film, there is a sense that Cruella begins to come undone simply because she is so used to getting what she wants that her reality shakes the idea that she will have to settle for disappointment.
Cruella is by no means a physically imposing villain and relies on her henchmen to do her dirty work. However, she establishes herself as an iconic villain simply because she pursues her evil plans with such frightening intensity that she sometimes seems unstoppable.

“I don’t care how you kill the little animals, but do it and do it now!”
Cruella demands that the puppies be killed
While Cruella isn’t going to get her hands dirty, the reality behind what she’s asking of Horace and Jasper doesn’t seem to bother her in the slightest. She screams and slaps the hired help, leaving with the threat of calling the police if they don’t do as she asks when she returns. She doesn’t care much about other lives, be they dogs or humans, wanting the dogs to die so she can continue with her plans.
It seems that Horace and Jasper, as brutal as they are, are not as interested in carrying out the crime as their sadistic boss. The only emotion she feels toward the act of killing is a sense of impatience. Despite her elegant clothes, it is a reminder that Cruella is a truly cold-blooded villain.

“Any way you want! Poison them. Drown them. Hit them in the head. Do you have chloroform?”
Cruella Offers Some Horrible Options
When it comes to killing the dogs, Cruella continues to show how cruel she can be, not even seeing them as living beings and just a means to get what she wants. To add to Cruella’s frightening nature, she even suggests some terrifying methods of dispatching the dogs, as if she were suggesting what tool to use for a job. It’s a shocking demonstration of his callousness.
She is the mastermind and doesn’t care what happens to the innocent puppies as long as she gets what she wants. Cruella was completely horribleand quotes like this highlight how little conscience she has. She doesn’t even hesitate when listing ideas for how Horace and Jasper could get “the job done.” She is very casual about the murder and that is quite worrying.

“Miserable, darling, as always. Perfectly miserable.”
Cruella complains about life
From the animated version to the Glenn Close version and the more sympathetic version played by Emma Stone, Cruella de Vil is a larger-than-life character who commands the screen. She also instantly becomes one of the most entertaining villains of all time since her first on-screen appearance in the original animated film. She invades the house and takes control as if she were the boss there too. When Anita asks how she is, Cruella responds with an overly dramatic account.
Cruella certainly has a unique point of view; although she obviously has wealth, it doesn’t seem to mean much in terms of her happiness. It’s another sign of 101 Dalmatians the character’s humor underneath all the evil. There is also comfort in the fact that, regardless of everything, Cruella will always be unhappy.
The story of a family of Dalmatian puppies who are kidnapped by a terrible woman called Cruella De Vil, who is fascinated by fur coats and is determined to turn them into a coat.
