Ivanna "Ivy" de Vil is Cruella de Vil's niece and the granddaughter of Malevola de Vil from 101 Dalmatians: The Series. She has two personalities: one is a cute, sweet, innocent girl; the other is an evil, deceptive, conniving girl. She is voiced by Rachel Crane.
John tells the baroness that he didn't kill her "only child" in response to the baroness questioning why he didn't take care of it. At the end of the movie, Estelle reveals to an unknowing Baroness she is her daughter.
In Smith's novel, Cruella de Vil is married to a furrier, and she tells Mrs. Dearly that she kept her last name—unusual enough in those times that it required explanation—because she was the only surviving member of her family.
Background. Anita is the wife of Roger Radcliffe and the owner of Perdita. The first film establishes that she and Cruella De Vil had gone to school together as children and were apparently friends at one points.
During her efforts, Estella learns that the Baroness is, in fact, her biological mother; she intended to have her baby killed after birth, but her valet John gave the baby to Catherine, who was a maid in the house at the time.
Though she never knows it herself, Pip finally finds out where Estella comes from. She was the child of Jaggers's maidservant Molly, a gypsy at that time, and Abel Magwitch.
Who are Estella's parents? At the end of the novel, Pip discovers that Estella is the daughter of Magwitch and Molly, a woman who now works as Jagger's servant after being convicted of murder.
Cruella begins with Estella as a child with black and white hair, something that she was born with due to a disease called poliosis. The condition is caused by a decrease or absence of melanin in the hair on the body, typically resulting in a white streak or splotches in someone's hair.
But what makes her want to turn them into fur coats? In the end-credits scene, Cruella's gifting of Pongo and Perdita seems like heartfelt thank-you to two friends who helped her achieve her goals. It suggests Cruella's feelings about Dalmatians have changed, as she gives two innocent puppies to loving homes.
In the 1961 animated original film, the fashion-obsessed heiress was usually seen clutching a cigarette and holder as sickly green smoke wafted behind her. When asked why the wardrobe statement piece was intentionally left out, Stone attributed it to evolving opinions about smoking within the past 60 years.
Rather than extend some compassion, the Baronness silently whistles for her trained Dalmatian attack dogs, who leap at Estella's mother and push her off a cliff into the sea.
A young Estella first meets Buddy when she is thrown into a dumpster by her classmates. She discovers the small puppy in the dumpster and adopts him, bringing him home with her.
It is there the movie arbitrarily suggests Cruella de Vil's eventual obsession with Dalmatians is because that breed of dog was used as a literal murder weapon in the death of her mother.
What The Ending of Cruella Really Means. Cruella ends with the Baroness being proven guilty of Estella's murder and being taken to jail for her crimes. While the Baroness is exposed in the eyes of the public, she is shown to hold a considerable amount of influence due to her social stature.
The first thing Disney did to make Cruella a redeemable character was to portray her as having dissociative identity disorder (sometimes called multiple personality disorder).
In 101 Dalmatians, Cruella wanted to purchase Perdita and Pongo's Dalmatian puppies because she was a selfish heiress who viewed the puppies as a fashionable commodity to be exploited rather than as innocent living beings.
Cruella quickly discovers—and, warning, here are some spoilers—that the Baroness was responsible for her mother's death. Driven by a desire for revenge, which might also be a desire for justice (the film is unclear on this crucial distinction), Cruella becomes a fashion star intent on displacing the Baroness.
Ever since her debut in Dodie Smith's novel, there have been many films and shows that have showcased the character Cruella de Vil. She appeared in 101 Dalmatians, the 1961 animated film by Walt Disney, where her character was voiced by Betty Lou Gerson.
A live-action prequel feature film following a young Cruella de Vil. "Cruella," which is set in 1970s London amidst the punk rock revolution, follows a young grifter named Estella, a clever and creative girl determined to make a name for herself with her designs.
Their parents, Pongo and Perdita, set out to save their puppies from Cruella, in the process rescuing eighty-four additional ones, bringing the total of Dalmatians to one hundred and one.
Estella, who hates herself, later marries a brutish aristocratic called Bentley Drummle, who mistreats her. Pip is shocked and shamed to discover the real source of his money, and anxious on behalf of Magwitch, who has travelled from Australia to London to see him — as a returned transportee he could be hanged.
Mr. Jaggers takes a liking to him. He courts and later marries Estella, but dies in an accident later. He is significant to the plot in the idea that he ruins Pip's dreams, marrying Estella and taking away Pip's true goal in life.
Estella enters into a disastrous and abusive marriage with Bentley Drummle. When he is killed she becomes a widow, free to associate with Pip once more.
