Cruella in February, the internet went into something of a meltdown. The trailer, it was quickly noted, bore a distinct similarity to the one for Todd Phillips s 2019 smash

Joker); a soundtrack from the golden era of 1950s crooning (Connie Francis s

Cruella vs Charlie Chaplin s
Smile); and an overriding sense that we were going to learn a lot more about the titular characters than we ever would while they were playing second fiddle to the heroes of the movies we have seen them in before.
