101 dalmatians

[schmerica]

You know, before the 80 millionth time watching it (the small children like puppies), I never noticed that one of the ways we're clued in Cruella DeVil is evil in the live action 101 Dalmatians is through her feminist leanings.

Anita is good because she wants to get married and have babies and finally get away from this job -- which is good enough now, but not after she has a *family*. Dearie me, no!

But, god, we shouldn't even be surprised Cruella is a ruthless puppy killer. She's obviously one of those man-hating ambitious women. You know how *they* are.

The crazy woman driver line in the cartoon doesn't bother me *too* much, because it's kinda a random character guy whom we're not even necessarily supposed to agree with -- I mean, *we* know why she's acting like that. It's not coming straight from the text the way the annoyingness seems to.

Man, I watch all these cartoons with the small children all day long, and I have to keep all these thoughts to myself. Except the ones I remember to put on lj. I don't think I ever did the entry about how disturbing Ariel's youth is in the Little Mermaid (and how King Triton was kind of hot for an old guy, aside from the fishgenitals)/
