It suggests Cruella's feelings about Dalmatians have changed, as she gives two innocent puppies to loving homes. Cruella's revisionist history also makes Pongo and Perdita quasi-siblings, part of the same litter of puppies that one of the Baroness' Dalmatians presumably gave birth to.
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.
Why did Genghis put on weight at the end of Cruella?
Apparently, the dogs got real friendly with Cruella and Horace's own pups, and the movie ends with Horace pointing out that Genghis — one of the Dalmatians, all three of which Cruella kept after getting the Baroness arrested — has put on weight. Sweet Horace. No, Genghis hasn't put on weight, she's pregnant.
The lesson learned from Cruella is that the more times we fall, the more times we rise. Cruella tells us to always fight our battles, even when they are difficult. We must never surrender.
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.

What is Cruella's mental illness?
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.
The Baroness figured out that Cruella's real identity is Estella, which leads to the Baroness and her henchmen locating her hideout and capturing Jasper and Horace. Baroness attempts to murder Cruella in a fire, to pin the latter's death on Jasper and Horace, while sending the duo to prison.
Her villainous plot in the show was to steal the Dearlys' farm from them, using the puppies as a ransom. Her mother Malevola de Vil demands she do this, and Cruella also was denied the farm by old Widow Smedly the first time she tried to buy it, incensing her and beginning her obsession.
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.
On the balcony, Estella confronts her mother, who feigns an embrace before pushing her over the cliff, unwittingly witnessed by her guests. Estella secretly survives with a hidden parachute and, now legally dead, adopts her Cruella persona for good. The Baroness is arrested, swearing revenge on Cruella.
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.
At the 2022 Oscars, makeup artist Nadia Stacey revealed that the script for the sequel was in the works. Even in 2023, the project is still in its pre-production stage. Considering the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, Cruella probably won't begin filming before 2024.
Catherine, a former employee of the filthy rich Baronness, is there to ask her former employer for a bit of money. 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 decade later, when Estella is a young adult, she discovers her boss, the renowned fashion designer the Baroness, possesses her mother's necklace -- a necklace Catherine told Estella she would one day inherit.
Her personal anthem, the song that plays in the animated version of 101 Dalmatians, is all about how “if she doesn't scare you, no evil thing will.” And her defining characteristic is that she loves dalmatian fur so much she's more than willing to kidnap a bunch of puppies in the hopes of skinning them for their spots.
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.
In Disney's original animated “101 Dalmatians” from 1961, Cruella de Vil is an evil woman in her sixties whose goal is to kill and skin the Dalmatians for their fur as a new fashion statement.
Cruella acts as an origin story for the titular villain without any direct crossover to 101 Dalmatians (either the animation or the 1996 live-action version), exploring why the archvillain developed such a penchant for stealing and skinning puppies in the first place.
They get the vault open but it turns out the beads Cruella used on the signature dress were actually moth cocoons so they ate the collection and now are loose in the building ruining the show. They're also really bad CGI.
With a drop of a flaming matchstick, Cruella's satin hood burns into nothingness and uncovers a red-hot dress and that signature half-black-half-white do.
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.
Cruella comes to visit and feels that Anita just sending the sketches of her designs because she is on leave from work isn't the same as the interaction they had together. She mocks Roger for his job and for starting a family which makes his respect for her, turn to hatred.
Some theorize that her hatred for animals is a result of her traumatic childhood; her parents were allegedly distant and emotionally abusive, and her only solace was her pet black and white spotted puppy.
