Cruella: A Prequel That Rewrites the Character More Than the Story

Estimated Read Time: 6min

When fashionistas go bad… or were bad from the start… whichever way it was the newest Live Action movie that focuses on the villain from 101 Dalmatians. Regardless of how I feel about focussing so much on the bad guys in media right now, I do like Emma Stone and I had remembered it as a pretty good movie. So let’s compare the film from the subsequent book that came out!

A Villain Origin Story… Again

I usually look at movies that were made based on a book already existing, but this one was different, because the novel adaptation came after the film. So let’s compare, contrast and complain.

One thing I noticed this time around that hadn’t occurred to me watching the film before was just how dreadful Emma Stones accent was in this film. Look, she tried her best, but it was very distracting. I also noticed that both Emmas (Stone and Thompson) kind of over acted in this film. The Horrace and Jasper scenes and actors did a great job and were really funny, but Cruella and Baroness were quite overblown. I understand why the choice might have been made, because they are very larger than life characters, but it was quite an unbalanced film in terms of the acting itself.

The Acting Choices

Another thing that irritated me in this film when I watched it, was the animated/green screen moments. Particularly with the dogs or “stunt” type moments with the actors, it actually looked quite fake. It drew me completely out of the story, and I don’t understand why it looked that way when we have such incredible avenues for creating great films.

That being said, I did feel like a LOT of the funny moments in the film (which I think there was quite a few) were missed in the book. It was nice to see the inner dialogue especially when Estella was younger, but those funny choices the actors made are unmatched. Stand outs for this include Estella’s boss in the retail store – absolute crack up! I loved his snort laugh when he mentions “breeding” – and the Horrace/Jasper moments.

What the Film Did Better

Poor Horrace gets the short end of the stick in the book, and he was so much funnier in the film. I think sometimes you just cant beat an actor and their amazing choices. What they can do with their expressions and tone is something you don’t get in a book. BUT, books do allow for additional exploration of a characters feelings and insights, which is also great!

Some of the standout moments of acting for me was Cruella talking with Anita (“What Glint?”), Estella at the fountain for the last time (“But I do love you. Always”) and Baroness throwing a chair at a maid in frustration (“You’re in… the way”). Something the movie did that I really enjoyed, was the overlay of newspaper articles and headlines. It also focussed heavily on Estella feeling guilty that she caused her mothers death, which is something the book didn’t really touch on.

Standout Movie Moments

Okay, I’ve talked a lot about the film already, but what about the book itself?
I really enjoyed the book (though I will admit that the audiobook person mispronounced ‘valet’ all the time and that did annoy me), and we got actual DIFFERENCES from the movie. Sometimes the novel adaptations end up copying word for word and scene for scene, but this one didn’t. It had a good balance of the tone in the film, and its own new and fresh take on the story. Sticking with the original storyline but giving those extra nuggets is EXACTLY what I look for in the book version of a story. So snaps all around for the author of the book.

The book really highlighted Estella trying to be good like her mother wanted. She wasn’t just automatically ready to be a troublemaker at her school, and she genuinely wanted to try. This was nice, because it gave a bit of a better build up to when she really does lose the plot later on. While the film had WAY TOO MUCH narration over the main film – especially at the start of the movie – the book had a great feel. That’s the nature of inner dialogue in books I suppose.

The Different Feel of the Book

The film had some INCREDIBLE cinematic shots and music choices, and while I love a book that can describe scenes and people well there’s something you miss out from the visual counterpart. I will say that I appreciated less focus on the fountain and Estella always going back to “talk to her mum” – they basically did ONE of these scenes in the book, and otherwise moved away from that choice the film made. I didn’t miss those parts at all. I will say though, the film did make Cruella look a bit more like the Joker than I would have preferred… that make up guys! Ugh.

Final Verdict

If you have a child who really liked the movie and wanted to read the book too, I would say YES! It was great. Even those young in heart lovers of this film would enjoy the additional insights that the book provided as well… While I felt the book excelled with Estella’s early life, it was the film that won the day when she got older and began to really delve into the complicated adult emotions of her situation and the fun fashion side of the story (like that moth reveal scene!).

Stay tuned for some more Book Vs Movie posts, otherwise…

Disney Vs Pixar | Classic Debates

Estimated Reading Time: 6min

I don’t know how relevant this debate is anymore, but let’s take a stab at it shall we!

In recent years Disney has been leaning more into the ‘woke’ ideologies, and even though we can see some of those things throughout the decades, it has really hurt their bottom line. The classics that we know still perform well, but the new movies and shows they are coming out with tend to not be hitting the same, or offering the same instant marketability that they used to.

Don’t get me wrong, there is an occasional hit – like the recent movies of Moana, and Frozen (and when I say recent, I mean more so in the past ten years rather than two)… but does that mean Disney is still the superpower it once was? Does it mean that every movie they come out with is not an instant success push Pixar to the top spot?

If there is still a divide (which I don’t think there really is anymore…. potentially), I actually DO have a side of the fence where I sit. I’m Disney over Pixar all the way. Back in the day, yes Pixar gave us Toy Story – something that most of us are grateful for, however the movies coming out now seem pretty different. Pixar fall more on the side of ‘woke’ and unusual ideas, but Disney still have a little more of the old school charm in them… don’t believe me? Let’s explore..

I always saw Pixar and Disney hand in hand, and that every few movies or so, it would be the dream team, then just Disney by themselves once again…. Movies like Toy Story were the beginning of the partnership, and the animation style was very different than Disney had been doing before. The continuation of advancement in animation made some amazing partnerships, and eventually a takeover.

In 2006 Disney bought out Pixar, and since then all we see is the combination of the two – if not in name, then in company. With Disney also buying out many other projects, they seem to be an unstoppable super power… or are they? According to my own research on the topic, Pixar’s approach to creating movies are more along the lines of ‘wouldn’t it be cool if…’ but Disney has more of a focus on the ‘once upon a time’ stories.*

I don’t hear many people debate which are the better movies anymore – particularly because Disney and Pixar work under the same banner these days. Let’s take a quick look however, in the more recent Disney, or Disney/Pixar films and see which side of the fence that YOU fall on in terms of better movies:

DISNEY

PIXAR

So, which side do you fall on? Do you maintain that Disney is better, or are those colabs with Pixar the movies that YOU love? Share in the comments, because I’d love to know!

Suite Life of Zack & Cody | Where’d They End Up?

Suite Life of Zack and Cody (then the Suite Life On Deck) was a big show when I was growing up. But now that THEY have grown up too, where do I imagine the twins and kooky characters are today?

Zack Martin became a television personality after an executive saw his footage on the S.S. Tipton. He has become very successful and very loved (especially among the female viewers), and still hasn’t managed to settle into a stable relationship – something that doesn’t bother him at all.
He manages to embarrass, prank, and humiliate his brother on a regular basis, only this time it’s in front of a national viewership.

Cody Martin started working to cure Cancer and is very close to a breakthrough. He also gives his knowledge and expertise to teaching college students, and spends the rest of his days with his, and Bailey Pickett’s three kids. They adopted two, and used IVF for the third, and love all of them very much.

Carey Martin got a late break in her career, and travels the world in her new genre, Country Music. The audience is very receptive, and she loves the new direction that she’s gone in. She regularly checks in with her kids, but mostly on hears back from Cody.

>>>Get a copy of my ebook KIDNAPPED Entanglement >>>here

London Tipton doesn’t bother with college, and after 8 years dental school Todd St. Mark comes back. Their Fathers both make up and join forces, and the hotel empire is HUGE. London and Todd can now be together, then eventually inherit the whole fortune. Todd does dentistry on the side, and London hires Mr Mosbey to run things for her….

Mr Mosbey and Ms Tutwiler are happily married, until they have twins of their own and it’s Mosbey’s turn to find out how hard it is to wrangle twins! He tries to run the Tipton/St Mark empire whilst keeping his own kids out of trouble.

Maddie Fitspatrick went to the Peace Corps and met a Doctors Without Borders doctor. They are still travelling the world to help those less fortunate, and come back to the USA every so often to visit London and Todd.

Esteban is now the Tipton hotel manager and happy with seven kids, while Arwin and Kirby (who is now landlocked) both work in the same hotel causing minor mishaps.

Woody had a glow up, and became a male model – he is living his best life.

Did you enjoy seeing my thoughts on where everyone would have ended up? I’d love to hear where YOU imagined it?

Mary Poppins: The Difference Between the Book’s Tone and the Film’s Magic

Estimated Reading Time 6min

I watched Mary Poppins countless times as a kid. Julie Andrews. Dick Van Dyke. The songs. The magic. It was one of those films that felt timeless. So when I finally picked up P.L. Travers’ original book, I was curious to see what had changed between page and screen. The answer? Quite a lot.

As always, spoilers ahead.

The Biggest Difference Is Mary Poppins Herself

Let’s start with the obvious one. Movie Mary Poppins and Book Mary Poppins are practically different people. Julie Andrews’ version is firm, proper, and occasionally strict, but she’s also warm and genuinely likeable. Even when she’s correcting the children, there’s a kindness underneath it all.

Book Mary Poppins? Not so much. She is rude. She is vain. She snaps at people constantly. She spends a surprising amount of time admiring her own reflection and generally behaves as though she’s better than everyone around her. The magic is still there, and the adventures are still fascinating, but as a person, I found her incredibly difficult to like. If I had only ever read the book and never seen the movie, I don’t think I would have understood why people loved Mary Poppins so much.

Bert Barely Exists

One of my favourite parts of the movie is Bert. Dick Van Dyke brings so much charm and energy to the role that it’s hard to imagine the story without him. The book apparently had no problem imagining exactly that. Bert only appears briefly. He’s a match seller who also draws chalk pictures on the pavement, but his role is tiny compared to the film.

The famous chalk-picture adventure still exists, but it’s completely different. Instead of Mary, Bert, Jane, and Michael entering the picture together, Mary visits Bert by herself and they go on the adventure alone. Personally, I much preferred the movie version. The adventure feels far more magical when the children get to experience it too.

Many of Bert’s Best Scenes Were Invented for the Movie

The movie expanded Bert’s role dramatically. The laughing scene with Uncle Albert? Bert wasn’t there in the book. The chimney sweep sequences? Not in the book either. In fact, chimney sweeps aren’t really part of the story at all. Those scenes were created specifically for the film, and honestly, I think the movie is better for it. Bert adds warmth, humour, and heart to almost every scene he’s in.

The Parents Hardly Matter in the Book

One thing that surprised me was how little the parents appear. Mr Banks and Mrs Banks are barely involved. The book focuses almost entirely on Mary Poppins and the children. The movie, on the other hand, gives the parents much larger roles. Mrs Banks receives her suffragette storyline. Mr Banks gets his entire character arc. 

The bank sequence becomes one of the central plot points. None of that exists in the book. There’s no dramatic bank visit. No threat of Mr Banks losing his job. No emotional kite-flying payoff. The movie added all of that.

The Book Contains Many More Adventures

While the movie added plenty of material, it also removed a lot. The book is essentially a collection of magical adventures. Mary takes the children on numerous journeys that never appear in the film. There are stories involving a cow, a zoo, Mrs Lark and her dog Andrew, and several other characters that movie audiences never meet. Some of these adventures were genuinely delightful, and I could easily imagine them working well on screen. The film simply didn’t have room for all of them.

There Are Four Children, Not Two

Another major difference is the Banks family itself. In the movie, the focus stays on Jane and Michael. In the book, there are actually four children. Two of them are babies. The babies even receive their own chapters and adventures. I completely understand why the movie simplified things. Managing two older children is much easier than trying to build an entire story around four children, including infants. Still, it was one of the more noticeable changes.

Some Familiar Movie Elements Don’t Exist

A few iconic parts of the movie came as a surprise because they simply aren’t in the book. There are no kites. There is no “Let’s Go Fly a Kite.” The bank storyline doesn’t exist. Several major songs and scenes were invented specifically for the film. Yet despite all those additions, the movie still manages to capture much of the spirit of the original story.

The Movie Kept the Magic

For all the differences, I do think the movie preserved the heart of the story. The sense of wonder. The magical adventures. The idea that extraordinary things can happen on an ordinary day. Those elements remain intact. What changed most dramatically was Mary Poppins herself. And for me, that change made all the difference.

Book vs Movie: Which Was Better?

The movie wins. Not because the book was bad. There were plenty of things I enjoyed about it, especially some of the adventures that never made it to the screen. But I simply could not get past Mary Poppins’ personality. She was vain, self-absorbed, rude, and constantly cross. Julie Andrews transformed that character into someone audiences could actually love. She remained firm and proper, but she also became patient, caring, and endearing. Without the movie, I don’t think I would have liked Mary Poppins as a character at all. The book had some wonderful ideas. The movie took those ideas and gave us a much better Mary Poppins.

The Princess Diaries Book vs Movie: Why the Adaptation Completely Reframed the Story

I LOVED this movie, and I still do… but when I found out it was first a book, I had to add it to the Book Vs Movie pile!

Estimated Reading Time: 6min

I have a confession. I am secretly the Princess of Genovia…Okay, no. That’s Mia Thermopolis. But after finally reading The Princess Diaries and comparing it to the Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews movie, I discovered there were far more differences than I expected.

In fact, one of the first things that surprised me was that the movie doesn’t just adapt the first book. It actually pulls material from multiple books in the series. I reached what felt like the middle of the movie and realised I had already reached the end of Book One. So let’s talk about the changes.

As always, spoilers ahead.

The Book Is Actually a Diary

This sounds obvious, but it’s something I never really thought about until I picked up the novel. The Princess Diaries is literally written as Mia’s diary. Every entry comes directly from her perspective. Some days have multiple entries, some days are skipped, and the entire story unfolds through her personal thoughts. As someone who read quite a few diary-format books as a teenager, I actually enjoyed this style. It also makes the title make a lot more sense.

In the movie, the diary itself isn’t a huge part of the story. Outside of a few moments, including the ending, it almost fades into the background. In the book, it’s the entire framework.

Mia’s Dad Is Alive

One of the biggest changes is Mia’s father. In the movie, he’s already passed away before the story begins. In the book, he’s very much alive. The reason Mia becomes heir to Genovia isn’t because her father died. It’s because he has recently undergone cancer treatment and can no longer have children. That means Mia is the only heir. It completely changes the dynamic. Unfortunately, it also introduces a character I didn’t particularly enjoy. Mia’s father is stiff, snobbish, and deeply entrenched in royal life. While I appreciated seeing another side of the story, I definitely preferred the movie’s approach.

The Grandmother Is Nothing Like Julie Andrews

I need to talk about Grandmère. Because wow. The movie version played by Julie Andrews is elegant, strict, and occasionally intimidating, but she’s still charming. The book version? Not so much.

She mostly speaks French, expects Mia to speak French, insists on being addressed a certain way, and generally treats everyone around her as though their feelings are an inconvenience. She isn’t elegant. She’s entitled. And honestly, she was one of the most frustrating characters in the entire book. The movie took a difficult character and transformed her into someone audiences could actually enjoy spending time with. That was a very good decision.

Where Was Joe?

One of my favourite characters in the movie is Joe. His friendship with Clarisse adds so much warmth and humour to the story. So imagine my disappointment when I discovered he doesn’t exist in the book. Instead, there is a driver and bodyguard named Lars. Lars does his job. That’s about it. He lacks the personality, humour, and charm that Joe brings to the film. I missed Joe the entire time I was reading.

The Book Introduces an Important Character

One of the biggest additions in the novel is Tina. She’s the daughter of an extremely wealthy man and constantly has a bodyguard with her. Because of that, most students think she’s strange and avoid her. When Mia learns she’s a princess and suddenly has security around her as well, Tina becomes one of the few people who understands what she’s going through.

I actually loved this part of the book. Tina was kind, supportive, and brought an interesting perspective to the story. I understand why the movie simplified the cast, but Tina is one character I genuinely missed.

Being Called a Freak Matters More

The movie briefly touches on the idea that Mia is considered weird. The book explores it much more deeply. Characters like Tina help establish why being labelled a freak feels so devastating in that school environment. It’s not just a throwaway insult. It’s a social identity. The book spends more time examining how teenagers treat people who don’t fit in, and it adds another layer to Mia’s struggles.

The Supporting Characters Were Very Different

Several characters received expanded roles in the book. Mia’s teacher spends more time in the story. Lily is significantly more unforgiving. Michael and Lily are both portrayed as exceptionally intelligent. Josh is still terrible. In fact, Josh might somehow be worse. The book also spends more time exploring some of the less appealing aspects of his personality, making his actions feel even more selfish. The overall result is that many of the supporting characters feel rougher around the edges than they do in the movie.

The Makeover Isn’t What You Remember

One of the most iconic scenes in the movie is Mia’s makeover. The dramatic hair transformation is unforgettable. In the book? Not quite. Instead of transforming her hair into the sleek style from the movie, they simply cut it very short. She ends up with something much closer to a pixie cut than the glamorous movie makeover audiences remember. As a result, the scene doesn’t have quite the same impact.

The Movie Made Everyone More Likeable

A theme kept appearing while I was reading. The movie made almost everyone nicer. Mia remained likeable in both versions, but many of the people around her were far harder to enjoy in the book. Her father was less sympathetic. Her grandmother was significantly worse. Lily held grudges longer. Several relationships felt harsher and less forgiving. Meanwhile, the movie softened many of those rough edges without losing the core story.

Book vs Movie: Which Was Better?

For me, the movie wins. There were elements of the book that I enjoyed, particularly the diary format and the addition of characters like Tina. But overall, the film made smarter choices. The relationship between Mia and Clarisse worked better. Joe’s addition was fantastic. The decision to make the grandmother elegant rather than unbearable was a huge improvement.

And most importantly, the characters were simply more enjoyable to spend time with. I still liked Mia in the book. I just didn’t like many of the people around her. The movie fixed that.

Have you read The Princess Diaries or only seen the movie? Which version did you prefer?

Top 10 Female Villains

Love to hate, hate to love, or anywhere in between the female Villains of fiction are getting better and better as we go.. so let’s explore the best! 

Here’s my list of the ‘TOP 10’ Female Villains – I know I couldn’t possibly list ALL the good ones, but here are those that stick out to me (in no order):

Who is older in the MCU: Thor or Hela? In the first film, Odin refers to Thor as his 'first born', yet in Thor: Ragnarok, Hela talks of her fighting with Odin

Hela (Thor Ragnarok) – She has an actual backstory, and doesn’t fall into common stereotypes for female baddies.

Cruella DeVille (101 Dalmatians) – Truly bad to the bone (skinning puppies isn’t for the faint of heart), new movie gave her a bit of backstory but I don’t know if that translates to the OG Disney character – she was just plain evil!

Mother Gothel (Tangled) – Selfish, somewhat stereotypical but pretty smart and on the ball for most of her time on screen

Cruella's Emma Stone Says Disney Villain Ursula Deserves Her Own Movie - Variety

Ursula (The Little Mermaid) – True under the sea rage/earth scorned woman. I’m sure there’s a fun backstory there with King Triton too – lets hear it people.

Regena George (Mean Girls) – A bitch on wheels, nasty because she’s spoilt and very insecure, but has some redemptive qualities by the end of her story

>>>Get a copy of my ebook KIDNAPPED Entanglement >>>here

Watch The Emperor's New Groove Dailymotion | Outlet www.alucansa.com

Yzma (The Emperors New Groove) – An old woman who’s still kicking, and ready to kill something that she’s been wanting her whole life – what she thinks she deserve.

Azula (The Last Airbender) – Brutal, and afraid to knock out family members. Obsessed with winning, leading, and power

Regina Mills: B*tch Mayor of Storybrooke & Official 'Once Upon a Time' Punching Bag

Regina Mills (Once Upon A Time) – Solid backstory of betrayal and how she got there, not as stereotypical as some female villains, redemptive qualities through the series too

How would you build Shego from Kim possible in 5e? : r/WhatWouldYouBuild

Shego (Kim Possible) – A badass with glowing hands and dealing with Drakken… Enough said

Meryl Streep On Making The Devil Wears Prada: Playing Miranda Priestly Made Her “So Depressed” - TODAY

Miranda Preistly – Not truly a bad guy, but snarky and entitled enough to make it. Doesn’t care about others and just wants to power and prestige

Hannah Montana | Where’d They End Up?

Jackson Stewart wasn’t blessed with the same musical talents as the rest of his family, but by gosh he made up for it with………. something

Okay, so we ALL know about Hannah Montana (at least I hope you do):

Girl has dual identity because girl wants to live normal life AND be a pop star. Girls family and friends have to keep the secret and help her from being found out.

QUIZ: Only Noughties Disney Channel Kids Will Ace This Test - Capital

But whatever happened to the minor characters after the screens stopped rolling. We can all guess what happened to Miley/Hannah (and no, I’m not taking into account the real Miley Cyrus – just the character), but what about Jackson Stewart, her big bro!

I like to think that Jackson ended up owning his own chain of beach kiosks and is a very successful manager. Rico partnered with him long ago, and they both own the chain together… which leads to some very interesting business meetings.

Jackson ended up finding the ‘love of his life’ and they have two kids together. They’re very happy in Malibu where he runs his empire and keeps in touch with his famous sister. He now houses his dad – Robbie Ray – but even though they’ve swapped who pays the mortgage, Robbie Ray is still ‘The Boss’. Jackson’s wife doesn’t mind.

What are your thoughts on where Jackson ended up? Do you agree, or maybe you saw things in a different ending for him… Share below!

MONSTERS INC | Where’d They End Up??

Did you ever what would have happened to characters we knew and loved as kids (and let’s face it, mostly from Disney cartoons)? Where’d they end up anyways?

Well, I’m taking that guess work out for you and telling you EXACTLY where they ended up, and what their lives look like now. At least, how I always saw things working out.

This post looks at the incredible world of Monsters Inc, and whatever happened to Boo?! We saw more of Mike and Sully, but not the girl who started the adventure… so here we go

What If Boo Grew Up? (Monsters, Inc. 2) - YouTube

Okay, in case you never saw it, or need a quick refresher, heres’ the rundown of Monsters in in just 5 words:

MONSTERS PANIC OVER HUMAN TODDLER

monsters inc. gifs | WiffleGif

Okay, so here’s the rundown of what I think happened to ‘Boo’ in the time since the first movie came out:

  • With a photographic memory, Boo (or Mary as she is known in the human world), has always remembered her trip to the Monsters world. Nobody believed her, but she maintained that it really happened. After a while, she realised nobody would ever believe her and she didn’t say another word about it.

  • Instead, Mary began a lifelong search to get back to the Monster world and prove it all existed. She chases down leads of kids getting scared by Monsters in their closet, but comes up empty. Finally, she realises something VERY important – Monsters don’t scare anymore! When she realises, it opens the final clue that she needs.

  • In the meantime, she went on with her other life (in the human world), became a police detective, got married, and had a kid of her own. It was when her own daughter said that a monster had made her laugh, that she got the chance to go back!

>Get all the info about my Books/Writing with my NEWSLETTER

  • One night, Mary sneaks through the closet door after the monster who had come to make her laugh. She sneaks through the ‘laugh floor’ and runs right into Mike! He – understandably – is concerned that an ADULT is in the Monster’s world, but using a special translation device, Boo is able to explain quickly who she is and how she came back.
  • While she and Sully are catching up in his office, Mike walks in and panics (in true Mike fashion). When he realises who she really is, he calms down (somewhat) and they agree to hide her the best they can in a disguise so if anyone else walked in, they wouldn’t be too terrified. 
boo monster inc gifs | WiffleGif
  • Mile explains that he married Celia, and they have two kids – a boy and a girl, the girl is called Boo. After a while of catching up, they all realise that she can’t stay, and she heads back to her daughter’s door. When she opens it, she goes to say goodbye and just as she is about to close the door forever, Mary’s daughter hugs her leg, staring out at the Monster’s her mother knew when she was a kid.
  • Finally, as the CDA is closing in on them, Boo/Mary closes the door with tears in all of their eyes forever. Agreeing that it isn’t safe for her to ever return. She closes it and the Monsters shred the door, but she feels happy that her experience was finally proven true, if only to her daughter – Kitty.

Well, that’s where I saw Boo ending up. How did you think it would be 20+ years after the movie? Comment below…
