Cruella
1964 – A young girl named Estella (Tipper Siefert-Cleveland) was born with her hair half-black and half-white. She has always had a creative passion and a rather feisty personality. Her mother Catherine (Emily Beecham) notices and nicknames her “Cruella”. Catherine brings Estella to a private school, where she promises to behave. However, the other children mock her because of her hair, and her only friend is another girl named Anita Darling (Florisa Kamara), along with a dog she finds and names Buddy. After causing much mischief throughout her time at the school, Estella is expelled.
Catherine laments their situation and goes to ask for help from her employer, who is hosting a winter ball at their estate, Hellman Hall. Catherine instructs Estella to stay in the car, but she steps out for a moment to observe the party. Estella and Buddy sneak into the mansion, where Estella, who has always had a love for fashion, is in awe of all the gowns and dresses at the ball. Unfortunately, Buddy gets out, and after Estella chases after him, she is found by a valet named John (Mark Strong). Estella escapes him and is chased with Buddy by three vicious Dalmatians. Estella runs outside, where Catherine is talking to her employer, Baroness Von Hellman (Emma Thompson). The Dalmatians run past Estella and pounce on Catherine hard enough to push her over the edge of a cliff to her death, which Estella witnesses. The partygoers go outside to see what happened, with the Baroness lying and claiming that Catherine was trying to accost her for money. Estella runs with Buddy and travels in a garbage truck. Estella makes it to Regent’s Park in London where she had wanted to go with her mother, and she realizes that she is missing the necklace her mother had given her to hold onto. She falls asleep by the fountain and is found the next morning by two delinquent boys, brothers Horace (Joseph MacDonald) and Jasper Badun (Ziggy Gardner), along with their one-eyed dog Wink. They are trying to swipe from the fountain when they meet Estella. Jasper determines that she doesn’t have a family, and the three run away together when an officer catches them. Estella joins the boys at their hideout, and Jasper tells Horace that they should keep her around because having a girl might make her seem like an innocent distraction to people they plan to rob. Estella dyes her hair to go along with the schemes and be unrecognizable.
Ten years later, Estella (now played by Emma Stone) continues to pull off crimes with Horace and Jasper (now played by Paul Walter Hauser and Joel Fry) to support themselves, plus Buddy and Wink. Estella also continues to work on her fashion ideas. On Estella’s birthday, the brothers surprise her with a job for the Liberty department store downtown, since Jasper had noticed her always staring at the place. She is very grateful to them.
Estella begins working at Liberty as a cleaning woman for a rotten boss named Gerald (Jamie Demetriou). He never gives Estella a chance to present her ideas and treats her awfully. Horace and Jasper bring her lunch, and Horace thinks the place can be robbed,...
