The 1970s London-set film received a PG-13 rating, something with which Disney is experimenting (viaIMDb).
First and foremost, “Cruella” has one of Disney’s first clearly, openly gay characters.
While the film carried a dark tone, it also rid itself of Cruella’s habitualsmoking.
Moreover, the film plays with the media’s power to create, protect, and/or uphold narratives.
Anita even prints stories that uplift Cruella’s looks and give her some spotlight.
